Best type/supplier/thickness/glass

For acoustic first ( ie cut out the sound of night time diesel freight trains ) and insulation?

Sound - Triple glazing, with the centre sheet a different thickness to the outer sheets. Or all three sheets different "weights", if possible.

If double glazing is preferred, then different thicknesses will help there, too.

The thicker the glass, the better the attenuation, in general.


Thermal - triple again - not a lot more for new windows, and significantly better.

There are glasses with claimed lower thermal conductivity across the body of the glass itself.

For 2 years we lived close to Hither Green marshalling and continental freight depot. At 2am it sounded as if the rolling stock was about to crash through our window. We then moved to SE6 and the silence kept me awake....

I lived on Ingestre Road once. My god do those old houses not absorb the shock well. I’m surprised they’re even still standing. Those freight trains would cause my screens to shake.
