Very happy with the results and now planning to do the guest bedroom too. MARGARET O'TOOLE Just want to say that STOP NOISE retro fitted double glazing is a great success. Noise from Freeway and heat pump hot water service is barely detectable. Couldn’t be happier with the results and the windows look great installers did a fantastic job. Margaret (Dromana) Sharon Skerry We had tried everything to reduce road noise in Canterbury Rd, and nothing worked. The new window has blocked at least 90% of road noise and has changed our lives! Cannot recommend enough. The colors were perfectly matched and the installation was easy. The window looks great and can be left fully open throughout the day for fresh air. Holly Wilhelm StopNoise has been a dream to work with right from the start. Communication is always extremely fast, polite & professional. The team both online & in person has been great at offering advice throughout the entire process and are clearly well equipped in their field. The final product has exceeded our expectations as the windows are seamless in deign and we have already noticed a reduction in noise. Couldn't recommend them more. Avril K We've been getting each of our windows done over the years with these guys, it really helps with the road noise and keeping the temperature more even. Will it get rid of all noise? Of course not, if you want that then try replacing your window with an insulated wall, seriously. Glazing will muffle sound to a less noticeable hum, so set your expectations accordingly. For us it has been worth every penny and we have been grateful to these guys over the years for their excellent product and service. Boswell O'MaHooper We had two stop noise sliding doors installed a year ago - have been very happy with them. The company is professional, they installed them quickly and the road noise is greatly reduced. We are getting replacement windows from another company right now (triple glaze) and they were trying to sell me replacement doors - I showed them why I didn't need them. They were impressed! Ric Excellent product and service offered by Aaron at Stop noise. He provided expert advice and suit the needs of my household of double glazings on few occasions. I would strongly recommend Stop noise when it comes to windows, double glazing etc.
Add-On Double Glazing Solutions in Melbourne
Do you ever wish you could just shut out the world and enjoy some peace and quiet in your own home? Is the constant noise of traffic, neighbours, or even just the city itself driving you mad? And what about those energy bills?! Are they making your eyes water?
If you find yourself nodding along, then add-on double glazing might be just what you need to restore some semblance of balance. It’s a clever and cost-effective way to transform your home into a tranquil, energy-efficient haven without the hassle and expense of replacing all your windows.
At Stop Noise, we specialise in add-on double glazing solutions that seamlessly integrate with your existing windows, providing superior noise reduction and thermal insulation without compromising the look of your home.
What Is Add-On Double Glazing?
Add-on double glazing is a bit like giving your windows a cosy blanket. It involves adding a second pane of glass to your existing windows, thus creating an insulating air gap that blocks out noise and helps regulate temperature.
It’s a fantastic alternative to traditional double glazing, which often requires you to replace your entire window unit.
Add-On Double Glazing Vs. Secondary Glazing: Is There a Difference?
You might have heard the terms “add-on double glazing” and “secondary glazing” used interchangeably. And you know what? That’s perfectly fine! They both refer to the same brilliant solution. It’s simply two different ways of saying the same thing.
So, whether you call it add-on double glazing or secondary glazing, you’re talking about a smart way to upgrade your windows without starting from scratch.
How Does Retrofit Double Glazing Work?
A double glazing retrofit is another term for the same process and works by adding a discreet secondary window to the inside of your existing window frame. This creates that all-important air gap between the two panes of glass, acting like a buffer, absorbing sound waves and preventing heat from escaping.
Our Installation Process

And don’t worry about your windows losing their charm! Our add-on double glazing systems are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing windows, preserving their original character and aesthetics.
