Window insulation

[email protected] | Posted in General Questions on

I live on New York’s Upper West Side on a low floor. Our building is offering a bulk rate on window replacement through Skyline, either Skyline Series 100 Aluminum Double Hung Windows or Marvin Clad Ultimate Double Hung Windows.

Question – which is best for SOUND insulation? Is it worthwhile inquiring about triple glazing? Many thanks.

    William,
    I don't have any information on specific brands of windows, but here is a link to a research paper that may interest you: Sound Transmission Through Windows.
