| + | When purchasing a replacement window a homeowner may purchase a second window insert which acts as an additional sound barrier. This barrier is installed behind the replacement window. It opens and closes together with the main window sash and is engineered to act as a sound barrier. It is constructed from reinforced laminated glass and blocks almost all sound from the outside. | ||

Reduced sound replacement windows employ a removable secondary glazing sash which reduces noise transmission.

Together these units block almost all outside noise. | Reduced sound replacement windows employ a removable secondary glazing sash which reduces noise transmission.
