    I have 3 sets of bay windows, front of the house. ,a lot of cold and noise gets through.

    I'm not on a tight budget so wouldn't mind replacing this with something more substantial, maybe triple glazed ? But no experience in this area or knowledge of cost or vendors. How much would it cost? Who could I turn to?

    Are you doing a whole house upgrade or just these windows?

    Are you doing further insulation upgrades?

    It would be worth your while getting a construction professional / energy assessor to go through it with you and if doing any further upgrade beyond windows, you are pretty much required to have a professional on board.

    Just the windows. And BER rating is not the motivation.

    They just feel drafty and I can hear cars through them I know they're bad windows.
