Shouldn’t take much to install it. Not sure what the relevance is between the window and the brick building… I would do it. Call me at 347-276-6528 Levi SoHoAppliances

Hey, thank you for the info, but to be clear: I’m happy with my skylight as-is. At this point, I’m either going to run a separate vent to the roof, or try and find a way to replace the plexi with an operable opening.  Thank you!

Skylights are still made like the one you have, but the newer ones have Argon or other gas filled space between two or more glass panes, to conserve heat  You will probably want to cut a larger hole in your roof and maybe secure a  rafter or two.  They can open, with a crank on a long pole, or by motor, or not at all.  They are installed by roofers, but your interior contractor may need to complete the job from the ceiling up to the level of the roof.

What about this http://curtainandblindfitter.co.uk/25mm.aspx – you could also just install regular Venetian blinds on the wall above the window, no?

Just went through this on my street level (facing the avenue) .  Typical new double pane windows offered very little improvement over my old single panes (granted, these were in excellent condition, shimmed properly, and with sealed frames/sashes – so it wasn’t the usual rattly rickety old window story – but still)) – did help with the thermal loss however.   Unless you can fit a *thick*  window with a lot of dead air between the panes – the physics of sound simply won’t let them offer much soud abatement – regardless of how thick or laminated they are.   When my double pane windows with differing thickness panes, and laminated (the recommended setup for sound abatement) didn’t work as well as I needed them too – i had some interior storm windows installed.   Oh sweet silence! 3″ of dead air and I’m happy. As was stated – interior storms don’t need any sort of approval.

This company shows you how to install blinds in your windows and there are a number of UK and Ireland sources for what appear to be thin veneitan blinds. Aside from installing roller shades in the same fashing or using some sort of film or part film, this looks like the way to go. http://www.wascowindows.com/Documents/T_T_Blind_Installation.pdf I’m partial to these shades: http://www.deliashades.com/shades/index.php

We were hoping to just put screens on the exisiting windows (wood, in excellent condition).  Assuming this is possible, do we need approval?

The question is – will landmarks allow you to replace the existing storms with something that’s better?  A lot of old storms are pretty marginal, but a good set will do much more to block noise than a double hung.  If you need to replace your existing setup with double hung, get sound reducing glass.  I have Marvins with sound reducing glass and think they work great, but they won’t outperform a good system with a storm.

A properly glazed, well fitting double hung with a good storm window should be just as quiet as the typical new windows.

If you’re replacing the existing historic windows with new storm windows (that have the screens you describe), then yes, people seek LPC approval for them.  The rule of thumb with an LPC property is that if you can see it (on the street) and you want to change it, you’ll probably need approval (or a Certificate of No Effect).  I’ve seen them reject windows that they’ve approved on the other side of the street, I’ve seen them reject intercom boxes based on where they’re positioned, and they’re sticklers for color matching.  If you need help with your particular situation don’t hesitate to contact me.  mike@escg-expediting.com Mike

FWIW, I knew someone with an apartment right on 57th St. and it was quiet as could be because he had two full sets of regular windows installed right on top of each other. That’s what people use for sound installation — not extra panes in a single window.

Yes, I am wondering the same thing. I would think properly caulked windows plus a storm window would be much more effective at dampening sound than a double-paned window. Deboerarchitec, how do you install the replacement windows so the sashes fit into the walls like the original windows and don’t block the light? All the replacement windows I have seen have these awful frames within frames, even the expensive Marvin, Pella, etc. Unfortunately, we have replacement windows. They are completely useless and we have to replace them.

Good double (or triple) paned windows are surely better than single-paned ones alone, but are they REALLY all that much more effective than reasonably tight-fitting wooden windows PLUS aluminun storms?

It is well worth it as you will be amazed at the difference between what you have and a quality window.  Andersen is what I like, but Pella, Marvin, etc.

In fact, they just worked for us today. They were fantastic.  They came exactly ontime earlier in the week to measure for new screens and they were ready the next day. They also redid all the balances in our windows. They worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves. Nothing but good things to say about them.

if you have no heating below a window then the thermal curtain is the last resort and as stated do not cover baseboard with a long drape…the cold pulls on anything that has a higher temp even if a room is 68F it gets pulled on the lower outside temps

YES…they were great. Showed up on time and it wasn’t expensive.  They do the work for my old condo in Manhattan.  They were apologetic that they couldn’t do the job the same day but had to come back the next morning because I had an odd sized double pane thermal window.  Also fixed the spring works in another. Highly recommended
