Yes. The same bespoke approach that helps a new window suit the building also allows the glazing, seals and frame detail to be chosen around warmth, acoustic comfort, security and day-to-day usability.

It’s essential that the installation itself is carried out by an experienced team with long expertise in the process. At Hugo Carter, all our team members are trained to know exactly how best to install your acoustic windows in London and further afield.

Hugo Carter Acoustic Windows London are experts in the science of silence. We understand the need for millimetric accuracy when it comes to measuring and fitting your acoustic windows.

Our expertise even extends as far as knowing which type of acoustic glazing to use depending on the type of noise reduction you require.

Ultimately, when you want the best possible noise reduction and soundproofing results from your acoustic windows, you need them to be installed by a team of experts at every stage of the process. Do you want them to be easy to maintain too? Then you should call Hugo Carter.

Yes, but you could invest in the best acoustic windows on the market and, if you have old window frames with gaps around the edges where noise can sneak through, you will compromise the effectiveness of your installation.

The difference between acoustic glass windows and normal glazing can be summed up in one word: lamination.

You may remember from your school days in the science lab that sound travels as waves and, when those waves meet an object, they cause vibrations that in turn generate noise.

When an invisible layer of lamination is applied to a piece of glass, it makes the glass stiffer – acoustic glass thickness means fewer vibrations when sound comes into contact with it.

We enhance this effect by composing our acoustic windows from two panes of laminated glass, delivering an extremely high level of acoustic insulation.

However, it’s not enough for us to deliver the same set of acoustic glass windows to every client. We understand that in this instance, one size definitely does not fit all.

Every one of our surveyors has been trained by experts from the Institute of Acoustics at Southampton University. This training focuses are noise assessment techniques, room acoustics  and managing home decibel levels.

The people who visit you to assess which residential acoustic windows are best for your home are masters of their craft. They understand that you may, for instance, need one specification at the front to deal with road noise and a different set of criteria at the rear to block out anti-social noise.

We can create glass that varies both in thickness and number of layers of lamination. Two pieces of thick glass, with up to three layers of lamination, will create a seriously stiff pane that is incredibly efficient when it comes to acoustic reduction.

In some instances, the best outcome might be delivered for you by laminating two pieces of glass of different thickness to stop different types of noise.

The best way to discover the benefits of acoustic glass/windows is to book a consultation with one of our team of expert surveyors.

If your home suffers from an extremely high level of noise disturbance, you may benefit from fitting acoustic double glazed windows.

Acoustic double glazing for London make a compelling choice where the noise of one of the world’s busiest cities can be particularly persistent in penetrating your home.

The logic is simple. If you install one piece of acoustic glazing, consisting of two panes and one or two layers of lamination, accompanied by a second piece of laminated glass, the result will be an impressive level of noise reduction.

However, one important consideration is the width of the gap between the two sections of glass. What makes double glazing effective is the vacuum in that space – and the wider that gap, the greater the impact of double acoustic double glazed windows is likely to be.

That’s why, in most cases, double glazing is more efficient than triple glazing. If you insert a third pane between the outer layers, the results can be disappointing because you are reducing the breadth of the cavity.

The only cases in which we recommend triple glazed acoustic windows is when the overall gap between exterior and interior is at least five centimetres wide. Only in such instances are the spaces between the layers of glass substantial enough to generate an improvement in noise reduction.

In most instances, therefore, you will get the best results from double glazing. As always, the ideal course of action is to book an appointment with one of our team of expert surveyors.

Casement windows are a timelessly popular choice of installation for housebuilders and homeowners in London and across the UK.

At Hugo Carter, we create and deliver a range of casement windows in five unique styles, each reflecting a traditional era of British architecture.

This means that wherever your property is located and no matter how old it is, we’ll have a design of casement window that will be appropriate to its surroundings.

Installing acoustic installation windows as part of a casement window is a solid option for you if you want to ensure that your windows are stylish, secure and extremely efficient in noise reduction.

However, it is advisable that you take expert advice to ensure that the acoustic windows you choose to deliver maximum efficiency.

A consultation with one of our expert surveyors will deliver peace of mind and reassurance that you will become the owner of an installation that is both attractive and effective.

At Hugo Carter, we’re always happy to deliver exactly what you want in terms of a cost-effective solution that maximises the noise reduction of your windows.

This applies to acoustic glass sash windows. Sash windows are still commonplace in homes all over the UK.

However, there are some crucial considerations to take into account, notably the thickness and weight of the overall installation.

The traditional breadth of Victorian sash window units is 14 centimetres.

If you want acoustic glass in both the upper and lower sash windows, you may have to compromise on the thickness of the glass if you want to ensure that the installation does not protrude into the room.

It’s also important to bear in mind that acoustic windows, which are composed of two panes of glass and one or more layers of lamination, can be very heavy.

Our expert installation team will be able to advise on your options if you have your heart set on acoustic sash windows in your home.

Doors can play a vital role in adding to the levels of noise reduction you can achieve in your home.

Our choice of patio doors and French doors can be delivered with acoustic glass, making them extremely efficient and highly secure. Check out our range of acoustic doors and windows to see if they are appropriate for your home.

At Hugo Carter, we pride ourselves on delivering a level of customer service that matches the quality of, we believe, the best acoustic windows with the highest acoustic insulation ratings on the market.

It’s always a pleasure to read the words of delighted clients who have taken delivery of windows that deliver a high glass acoustic performance and make a significant difference to their quality of life.

We’ll let John, a client who posted on Trustpilot in February 2020, take it up from here:

“The new windows from Hugo Carter are fantastic. They look really good due to the care the team took with the installation and they have proved very effective at blocking out nearly all the noise from a nearby High Street, which was very intrusive.

“The team under Tom’s guidance were very professional and efficient. I think it has been a very good investment in my property and would recommend Hugo Carter to anyone suffering noise problems at home.

“Thanks to all concerned.”

Another client, Mr Dickens, wrote in 2019:

“Great customer service, installers were polite and helpful and the windows are great.”

Any acoustic glass windows price will obviously vary from property to property. Once our surveyors have made a detailed analysis of your home, they will be able to give you a bespoke quotation based on their visit.

Whatever the price is, it is worth considering the significant benefits you will derive from the addition of acoustic windows to your home. You can read more thoughts here.

Principal among these is, obviously, the noise reduction that will boost your quality of life and add value and appeal to your home when the time comes to move on.

One additional benefit you will notice is in the impact on the cost of keeping your home warm. By installing your acoustic windows with forensic accuracy, Hugo Carter will enhance the insulation of your property.

Less heat will escape and, as a result, you will be able to stay comfortable while using a reduced amount of energy.

You will also experience a greater sense of security when you install acoustic windows. They are extremely tough – that’s why so many jewellers’ shops use them.

Another place you can find acoustic windows is in banks where there is still a layer of laminated glass between the staff and customers.

Indeed, the bank is a perfect place to experience the noise-reduction qualities of acoustic glass. The next time you have to use a microphone to speak to the teller and need a speaker to be able to hear them. Imagine the difference this variety of glass could make to the level of noise in your home.
