Square Feet Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago Hi, I'm just at the stage of designing my house and I have mentally discounted Velux type windows as my experience with them in the past has been that the rain noise wakes me up and causes sleepless nights. However, I'm just wondering if new tech ie triple glazing etc has made this any better? From a quick Google I can see that in theory 3G and acoustic glass should make a difference but I wondered if anyone has some real-world experience of this?
FarmerN Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago We have 3 passive approved triple glazed electric Velux windows in a vaulted kitchen ceiling. Noise is not an issue for me or my wife. None in bedroom though, a small one in the hall just outside bedroom, again noise not an issue.
MikeGrahamT21 Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Definitely much much better than 2G, and they also do one with thicker glass on the outer pane which lessens it even more, designed primarily for use in bedrooms, so may be worth looking at that unit
