I am looking to replace our existing front doors.
We have an old solid wood front door with a single glazed side panel. This is set into the house.
There is a porch that we enclosed with a sliding aluminium door and fixed panel, double glazed but very old.
We have a noisy road nearby. The current situation is acceptable in terms of noise insulation, but I definitely don’t want to hear any more noise.
We have a quote of approximately 10K to replace both with Aluclad triple glazed units.
My question is do we need to replace both? Do we need to have triple glazing on both?
Other houses on the estate have removed the outer porch doors, if we did this, would we notice an increase in road noise? The units are similarly priced, so we save approximately €5k by only getting one set of doors.
any help much appreciated,
