Soundproof Windows UK | Reduce External Noise By 80%

Here are just a few ways we can City insulation can help

Widening the gap brings sonic clarity

Secondary glazing significantly reduces noise transmission by creating an air gap between the existing window and the secondary glazing unit. This air gap acts as a buffer, absorbing and dampening sound vibrations. The combination of the original window and the secondary glazed unit provides a double layer of glass, which further enhances sound insulation, and naturally creates acoustic clarity.

Acoustic materials are employed

Secondary glazed units are designed with materials that have excellent sound-absorbing properties. Acoustic laminated glass and acoustic seals help to absorb and dissipate sound waves, preventing them from entering the interior space. This reduces the impact of external noise sources, such as traffic or construction, and creates a quieter environment.

Engineered to minimise the noise

Secondary glazing units are specifically engineered to minimise sound transmission, and maximise a clean acoustic environment. By breaking up sound waves and disrupting their path, soundproof glazing reduces their ability to travel through the window. We use high-quality materials and precise installation techniques further enhancing the soundproofing performance of secondary glazing for good acoustics.

Address specific acoustic challenges

Different glass thicknesses, laminates, and acoustic seals can be used to customise secondary glazing for specific noise control requirements. Additionally, the air gap between the existing primary window and the secondary glazing unit can be adjusted to create an optimal acoustic barrier. This ensures that the secondary glazing solution is tailored to address any specific noise challenges your home faces.

Just one way to achieve great acoustics

Secondary glazing can be combined with other acoustic solutions to further improve sound insulation. For instance, the use of double glazing in combination with secondary glazing provides even greater sound reductions and strong acoustics. A mixed approach to acoustics addresses different frequencies and types of noise.

City Insulation can incorporate secondary glazing into your home to create a peaceful and productive living space. Improved acoustics contribute to better concentration, increased privacy, and a more harmonious family life for all.

Great experience start to finish - quickly came round and quoted, providing confidence in what they would do and who would be involved, co-ordinated all the individual workers who worked to a high standard. The work itself was done to a high quality and on-time, and the difference has been amazing - great company, would highly recommend.

We are all absolutely delighted with City Insulation and the work they have just completed at my brother's house in Liverpool. Sadly my brother is living with alzheimers now and he does have some noisy outbursts now and again, which is natural for this horrible illness. He is being cared for 24/7 in a normal semi-detached house in Liverpool however his neighbours are not normal and keep complaining and putting in complaints to the police / council etc. I found Adam/City Insulation on the internet and he was so understanding and came up with exactly the right solution. All the carers in... the house are delighted and its made their job easier as they no longer worry about the next door neighbours who have got to find something else to complain about now! A big thanks to Adam and his team and if you have any noise issues etc you now know who to contact! (Ps very clean, very quick job, great value for money)read more

Best experience I've had with any tradesman to be honest. We needed to improve soundproofing in commercial meeting rooms/studios and he laid out the different options very clearly so we could make the best decision from a range of budgets. His team were extremely professional, delivered the work exactly when they said they would with zero delays. Very friendly and flexible with everything onsite. Would thoroughly recommend.

We used City Insulation to fit some secondary double glazing in a bedroom as we live on a noisy main road. Both Adam and Rachel were very knowledgeable and helpful. The job was done on time with no mess. Very pleased with the results and would recommend them.

Had some soundproofing done. Everything was spot on, great service from the entire team. The plasterer recommended was also fantastic. Thanks again, City Insulation!

I recently had City Insulation install soundproofing on two alcoves and a chimney breast in my living room. From the outset I was expertly guided by Rachel who was very knowledgeable and guided me through the whole process. The fitting team were punctual, friendly and did a superb job and cleaned up afterwards. The noise has been drastically reduced. I would definitely recommend them.

Amazing company. I live in an 1890’s house which was converted into two flats in the early 90’s. When I purchased the ground floor flat in 2018 the ceilings had already been considerably dropped in an attempt to reduce noise but in reality, did nothing to prevent the noise coming from upstairs and made the rooms feel quite claustrophobic. Having lived in the property for 4 years the situation was really getting me down and I was seriously contemplating trying to sell but came across City Insulation on Instagram so decided to at least try to solve the problem. Initially approached Adam and Rachel by email and after the first conversation with Adam by telephone, decided to go ahead with what he proposed for the main problem areas, the two front rooms and hall.Having lived with the new soundproofed ceilings for 2 months I can honestly say I no longer hear much from upstairs other than the loudest of noises and have regained so much ceiling height which makes the rooms feel bigger and brighter.Adam and the entire team are so friendly and approachable, they tidied up at the end of each day, were always on time and incredibly hard working; staying late to get the job done. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone having similar issues and will hopefully be having them back soon to do the same for the remaining rooms.

We contacted Adam at City Insulation at he organised acoustic panelling for our contact centre. The install team were excellent and worked around our team on the day. The panels have made a big difference in the acoustics of the space and have really helped the team through peak time. Recommended.

We contacted Adam Turner of City Insulation and spoke to him about needing sound-proofing along the wall of our living and dining rooms which adjoin the property next door. He talked in a very knowledgeable and professional manner and seemed to be a very genuine person.When he came to our home to talk to us he explained everything in great detail. He brought samples of sound-proofing materials with him and took detailed measurements of the walls.We were very impressed and decided to let him go ahead with the work.Adam's three man team came and worked for three days.The whole job was carried out in a very professional way and at the end of each day everything was left clean and tidy. They were a great team of workmen. They were friendly and personable, and nothing was too much trouble for them.We used the plasterer that Adam recommended and he did an excellent job.We are really pleased with the finished project and we're very happy with how effective the sound-proofing measures have proven to be.We have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending City Insulation who in our experience provide a professional and very effective sound Insulation job.

We run a commercial boarding kennels and needed sound absorption fitting to the kennels. Adam was very friendly and professional. We were a bit of a nuisance of a client as there was 2 years between us having the job priced up and completed due to us not City Insulation. Adam came back to revisit the job even though we are quite a distance away, he adjusted the plan to suit our needs more and the job was started and completed exactly when he said it would be. It was not the easiest of jobs for them as they had to work around our business that was still open but it went very smoothly.I would highly recommend this company.Thank you

Can't say enough great things about Adam and Rachel at City Insulation. They are extremely helpful and wonderful to work with. We needed special, custom secondary glazing (acoustic) installed on three windows. The quality of their work and materials were far superior, as well as less expensive, than other quotes we had received. I would highly recommend City Insulation to anyone needing soundproofing or secondary glazing for their home or business. They are polite, on time, communicative, responsible and all around professional. We will be using them again in the future!

I recently used City Insulation to install soundproofing solutions to a bedroom party wall and floor. I thoroughly recommend them. We could hear everything from the neighbours - talking, coughing, music, and TV, which led to a lot of unease and, most importantly, a lack of sleep.I have considered soundproofing before, but didnt know where to start. From my initial enquiry, I was contacted directly by Rachel, who is extremely knowledgeable and talked me through everything in detail. A few phone calls later with Rachel and Adam (and a lot of questions from me) led to there being no doubt in my mind that they were the best company for the job. The work was booked in a timely manner and I was kept informed in the lead up. Work on the day was completed by Nick and his team, who worked tirelessly to complete everything. They kept me informed throughout the process, and acted with nothing but professionalism.It's made such a difference, we can barely hear anything now and has turned what was becoming a nightmare situation into a peaceful one. I can't thank them enough.

I recently had the pleasure of engaging City Insulation for soundproofing services for a mid-terrace cottage, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Prior to their intervention, the soundproofing in my house was shockingly inadequate, as I could hear conversations and the daily activities of my neighbour. It had gotten to the point where selling the property seemed like a genuine option.Right from my initial inquiries, the team displayed remarkable patience and professionalism. They took the time to understand my concerns and needs, ensuring that I felt heard and valued as a customer. The three guys who carried out the work over several days were exceptional. Not only were they tidy and respectful, but their expertise and dedication to their craft were evident in every aspect of their work.Upon inspection, it was discovered that the party wall was extremely thin, exacerbating the sound issues. However, the improvements made have made a significant and tangible difference. Rachel and Adam, in particular, were refreshingly honest about the limitations and expected results, managing my expectations effectively. I am thrilled to say that it now feels like I have a brand new home that I can truly call my own.The most irritating airborne sounds that once plagued my daily life have now been minimised. What was once an unbearable situation has been completely transformed, thanks to City Insulation. Their expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction have surpassed my expectations.

Due to noisy neighbours I’d been interested in sound proofing for a while but wasn’t sure what the best option was. As soon as I contacted City Insulation they were incredibly helpful in talking me through the options and how the installation would work so I knew exactly what I was getting. Rachel was incredibly knowledgeable and responsive!On the day, the team who carried out the work were polite, friendly, efficient and left the house absolutely spotless. They also kept me informed on what they were doing and how they were progressing. Really happy with the final product and wouldn’t hesitate to use them and recommend them in the future!

I'm an acoustic consultant with over 15yrs' experience. I have worked with Adam and his team over the last 7years on various occasions where an independent review or testing was requested by Adams clients. Adam is diligent, thorough, clearly capable, and has the knowledge and skills to provide solutions that work.Highly recommended.

Ben Garland

We used City Insulation for some soundproofing work to a party wall recently and can’t rate them highly enough. Rachel in the office was super helpful and responsive with our enquiries throughout the process. Adam visited and discussed the different options in detail and suggested the best solution available to us. On the day of installation the team arrived on time, were professional, considerate and made sure nothing was damaged during the process. The end result has cut down a huge amount of airborne noise and means we can finally get a good nights sleep in our master bedroom. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend City Insulation and appreciate them making the whole process stress-free.

We had a soundproofing wall installed on a party wall. Rachel and Adam were extremely helpful beforehand, providing lots of advice and a range of options. The team who carried out the installation were also excellent, very clean and left no mess. The end result has exceeded expectations, I would recommend all round.

Used City Insulation to add soundproofing to the living room shared wall and the difference is unbelievable. For months I have listened to my neighbours tv, their phone calls etc but now its near silent. Nick and his team did a fantasic job and were so friendly and professional. I was shocked at how clean the room was once the job was complete. Outstanding work from everyone at City Insulation, 100% recommend to anyone with noisy neighbours!
