Soundproof Windows in Dundee

Respond to Dundee’s varied architecture

The city's industrial history has left a diverse built environment. A traditional sash window may be central to one home's character, while another calls for a carefully proportioned casement. We consider the existing arrangement before discussing what should replace it.

Frame details, glazing pattern and finish all have a part to play, and we look at them in the context of the whole frontage.

Make the acoustic brief specific

Road traffic, trains or activity around neighbouring buildings may be the reason you are considering new windows. Their effect can change from room to room, particularly between the front and rear of a property. We want to understand those differences.

An acoustic assessment helps us consider the glass and complete window construction around the sound you actually hear, rather than choose by a broad glazing description alone.

Think about life behind the window

Warmth, draught control and ease of opening matter throughout the year. Tell us how each room is used and which features of the current windows work well, so that the proposal reflects your practical needs as well as the acoustic concern.

For listed buildings or properties in conservation areas, check the applicable requirements before agreeing alterations. A bespoke approach allows the design details to be examined carefully at this stage.

Take a considered next step

You may want to address a single room or develop a consistent plan for several windows. Share your Dundee project with Hugo Carter and we will explain how a survey and acoustic assessment can guide a design around your home and your priorities.
