Hi.i need advise on sound improvements.we have double glaze windows instaled 6 years ago .glass unit i 28 mm standard.we have neighbours who have very big dogs.they are barking a lot of times.even windows closed we can hear them.should i replace the glass unit with tripple glazing ie 6 mm lemenated+4+4mm which is expensive.or double glazed 10 mm+ 6mm toughened insie.which is goin to be better.window frame is new.

I have done a lot of look into that area.pilkington and other glass makers have special glass ie leminated or planitherm which are very expensive.i went to local window making company we always use says we are always asked by people to make glass unit 10 mm+6 mm inside for sound proofing.do not know which is going to work.

have you considered argon gas filled units with low E glass it may be a cheaper option
