C O M Having studied the intricacies of noise in the home, and in a bid to provide a noise reducing solution that can be relied upon, Bereco is pleased to announce the launch of the Ambient Timber Window & Door Range. Unique to the market, this highly anticipated range includes a number of noise reducing levels from 38dB right up to 42dB. Each level within the range has also been awarded Bluesky Noise Reducing Windows certification and the 42dB window has achieved a Bluesky A-rated noise reduction level. The majority of windows and doors on the market would achieve a C, D or E rating. Poorly fitted gaskets, gaps in the frame and trickle vents can all be responsible for this. At Bereco we have measured the overall dB rating for the window and this is what we state. www.bereco.co.uk/ambient- windows 13/11/2018 09:26
