Acoustic Glass

[Calculator]

I am looking to upgrade the windows in my Victorian home. I live on a main road and was wondering about the merits of acoustic glass? Will I notice a significant difference and what is the cost differential vs 'regular' double glazing?

Thanks all - i currently have 'sash look' timber windows (i.e. they open out rather than sliding up and down). They are double glazed but old and the seals are not good.

It sounds like what I need is decent double glazing with laminate on the outside? What thickness should I be going for? Is there merit in different thicknesses for the two panes? Will timber be as acoustically effective as uPVC?

I don't like the look of uPVC and want to retain an authentic look but I am also mindful of the cost.
