Installation of MISO 2000 glazing reduces external noise
London is a busy capital, with traffic running 24 hours a day. If you are unfortunate enough to have a busy thoroughfare outside your bedroom windows, you could be in for many sleepless nights.This was the case in Bryanston Square, W1 where all the residents living on the front elevation of one of the blocks suffered excessive night time traffic noise. The building has listed status meaning that existing single glazed windows cannot be changed and architectural appearance must be maintained.
MISO 2000 offered a unique solution, meaning that all front facing windows could be double glazed from internally, resulting in no requirement for scaffolding and leaving the outward architecture of the building unchanged.
As an added benefit, not only is external noise almost eliminated, the thermal efficiency of the windows is vastly improved with U values down to 1.6Wm-²K°-¹ so rooms are far warmer and more comfortable as well as reducing the energy bill for the properties.
