Do we have a Sound proof windows available in Pakistan. The purpose is to block a window from the traffic sounds of adjacent road. If available, what would be the cost.

Dear Faisal Bhai'
AOA, It does not make any sense that, why people are interested to buy houses/plots on wider roads. Whereas, if you want to sleep well your house must be quite away from wider roads. Anyhow, it is a lesson for me for my future home. Thanx for sending such a message.

Wasalam

Sakan Aslam Bhai,

I understand your point , however there must be some way to do sound proofing of windows. I would let the experts reply to it.

I have opted for double glaze glass / aluminium window which is very helpful to block outsides sounds

Thanks Masifjamil,

I understand that usually brick walls are already sound proof, so the only thing we should take care of is the windows....

Faisal sahib, Double glazed windows are easily available now in Pakistan. In Europe and America double and triple glazing windows are in use in each and every home inspite of their location. Double Glazing means there are two glass with a small space which blocks all the sound and make it sound proof, Very effective.
Secondly, where there are bad points living at main roads, there also positive points. The most important point in my view and personal experience is that it is less attractive for thieves and docaits to target a house which is on main. They always find one at peaceful and quite place.

Thanks JJ,

Do double glazed windows come in fixed sizes or they are orderable according to the width of window. Who is the dealer in Pakistan ?.

Faisal sahib,
Just check with any window maker who works in aluminum windows. They can make it for you according to your measurement. I am not sure if any imported double glazing windows are also available in the market or not.

Check out the following links to window manufacturers who offer double glazing option:

http://seccopak.com/pro_windows_openable.php

Those who offer PVC frames claim that PVC frame offers better sound and heat insulation than Aluminum and have longer life. Relevant links are as follows:

http://www.window-tech.com/

http://www.framez.com.pk/products.html

I have not used any of the above products so far but I am thinking of having my house windows replaced by UPVC triple glazed basically for heat insulation. Asif Jamil and others who have already used double glazed are requested to comment on price and degree of heat insulation provided by such products.
