High Performance Windows
If you’re looking for the very best way to soundproof a property, our most powerful bespoke noise reduction timber windows can achieve a dramatic decrease of decibels, far, far greater than that possible with ‘regular’ double glazing. We’re talking up to 51dB. (Scroll down this page to hear what that sounds like.)
It might seem obvious what our ‘high performance’ windows are. As their name suggests, they are our ‘top-of-the-range’ windows, designed to give you the most significant drop in decibels.
What is less obvious is whether or not they are the best fit for your needs. We support you to make that decision on our initial visit.
Our Process
Step 1 - Initial Enquiry
Before contacting us, please make sure you have certain details to hand. These include: the property location and type (especially if it’s a listed building or in a conservation area), the details of your problem and the kind of windows and glazing you currently have. We will make sure we have enough information to plan an effective initial visit.
For more details of Our Process please see Our Process Explained.
Step 2 - Initial Visit (Noise Assessment & Pricing Survey)
An acoustic specialist will talk you through your best options and – using a NTi XL2 Acoustic Analyser – give you an immediate idea of the different noise levels, and advise you on your best options. By agreeing to a Initial Visit there is no obligation to commit to our service; this is an opportunity to understand your needs more clearly.

Step 3 - Quotation & Noise Report
Based on the survey completed during the Initial Visit, our team will email a full costing within 72 hours. We will also provide a valuable Noise Report which explores our problem analysis, the level of noise pollution and our suggested solution. Within another 48 hours, we will follow up with a courtesy call, to ensure everything is clear.

Step 4 - Installation Survey
Once you’ve chosen to proceed with us and paid an initial deposit, we’ll arrange for senior surveyors to visit. By taking accurate ‘to the millimetre’ measurements, we can assess the best method of installation. We’ll also confirm your various aesthetic preferences (eg – which timber, paint colour and ironmongery), and will then pass your order to our factory.

Step 5 - Manufacture Updates
The manufacturing process takes approximately ten weeks. Every three weeks our customer service team will give you an update so you know how your windows are progressing.

Step 6 - Installation
Two weeks in advance, we’ll provide you with an installation date. For the installation we use an acoustic foam to enhance the noise reduction. At no point will we leave the property unprotected or exposed; if one window comes out, another goes in. The entire installation will be overseen by a single project manager.

Step 7 - Follow Up
One week after the installation, we will follow up with a courtesy call. This to make sure that everything is to your satisfaction, and to answer any questions you have about making the most of your new windows or doors.
