Thank you! It's not too noisy in our street, luckily. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! I really appreciate it. 🙏 Have a great time! 😀 Katha
In areas that can get cold, double pane windows should be the standard. In hotter regions of the world, shading (e.g. awnings or shutters), is far more important. Great show!
Over insulating a wall or ceiling is almost as bad as having little insulation because the compression transmits cold or hot. It is best to apply the insulation product that is rated for the thickness of the wall. A 2x4 wall should not have fiberglass batts thicker than R-21 for example. Spraying that same wall with closed cell insulation would be the best solution and the most expensive......
@@NetZeroTech So far, it seems to work for me. Keeps the warm house air off the cold glass. Another method is to make a frame from furring strips. Staple plastic around the frame. Place frame in the window. Whole window not just the glass. From floor to ceiling. It is easily removable too when you want to get some fresh air. Another one is take bubble wrap, spray glass with soapy water, fit the bubble wrap on the glass. Don't squeegee the glass before installing the bubble wrap. And only lightly after installation to remove air pockets.
I'm glad the window upgrade project worked out well for you. The new glass must be much quieter ! tHanks for the video

Thank you! Great point regarding shading. 🙏
You can also added one or two Lexan sheets with same efficiency.
Thank you so much for the suggestion. That’s helpful! 😊
Great job on the windows ! 👏
Thank you! 😀
2x your planned project time, is pretty much how I live my life, lol.

to remove glass use powerful suction cups; cut glass with special glass cut tool dw its cheap and pull.
Thank you so much! This helps a lot. Much appreciated. 🙏

Thank you for sharing. This is helpful! 😀
For us poor folk, just install plastic over the window.
Dead air space is better than nothing.
Hi, Thank you for sharing! 🙏 This is interesting. I'd be curious about how effective this solution is. Have a great time! 😀 Katha
