Rohit and his wife had just moved into a new apartment on Adelaide Terrace, Perth, with a baby on the way.
The problem
They had inspected the apartment at a quiet Sunday open home. Once they moved in, they discovered how noisy Adelaide Terrace is at night and during the working day. One room already had a magnetic noise reduction system, but they didn’t find it good enough.
What we did
- Installed secondary sliding windows with 6.5 mm acoustic glass in the living area and the future nursery.
- Trim-fitted them to the existing walls, so they blend in with the original frames.
The result
Rohit and his wife were delighted with the reduction in street noise, and could focus on the arrival of their baby instead.
Tip from Nigel: inspect a property at a busy time if you can. A quiet Sunday open home can hide a noisy street.
