Process of a frame installation project

A visit allows for measuring each opening individually and assessing specific constraints, particularly exposure to noise based on the position of the dwelling relative to flight paths.

The order for custom frames precedes the removal of old joinery, followed by the installation of new ones with particular care given to peripheral sealing.

A frame replacement project generally lasts one to two days for a standard dwelling, depending on the number of openings involved.

Understanding the acoustic index of glazing

What the Rw index means

The Rw index expresses in decibels the ability of a glazing to attenuate external noise: the higher it is, the greater the perceived reduction. Standard double glazing typically shows an index around 30 dB, while reinforced acoustic glazing can exceed 40 dB, a difference that is widely perceptible to the ear on a daily basis.

The importance of installation, not just glazing

The best acoustic glazing loses much of its effectiveness if the frame itself is not perfectly airtight. Peripheral seals and the quality of the installation matter almost as much as the intrinsic performance of the glass, an aspect often overlooked during a hasty replacement.

Intervention Areas in Luxembourg City

• Cents: exposure to aircraft noise, acoustic glazing recommended
• Kirchberg: recent buildings, large bay windows
• Belair, Limpertsberg: mansions, traditional wooden frames
• Bonnevoie, Gare: adjoining facades, measurements on narrow openings

Regulations and Assistance in Luxembourg

The replacement of frames is among the works eligible for the Klimabonus 2026, provided that the minimum thermal insulation values set by the applicable grand-ducal regulation are respected.

The super-reduced VAT of 3% may also apply to this type of work for a dwelling over ten years old used as a primary residence, within the limits of the current ceiling.

Why Choose Avenir Rénovations for Your Frames

Advice Tailored to Your Noise Exposure

We assess the actual exposure of your home, particularly its proximity to the Findel flight corridors, to recommend the most suitable glazing for your specific situation.

Careful and Sealed Installation

The peripheral sealing significantly affects the final performance of the new frames, a point to which we pay systematic attention on every site.

Support for Available Assistance

We guide you towards the Klimabonus and reduced VAT, so you can benefit from existing schemes without complicated procedures or unnecessary paperwork on your part.

Acoustic and Thermal Glazing: Technical Criteria

An asymmetrical double glazing with enhanced acoustic insulation generally offers the best compromise between performance and cost against aircraft noise. The Rw index indicated on a glazing measures in decibels its ability to reduce external noise: the higher the value, the greater the perceived sound reduction inside. Triple glazing remains more efficient in terms of thermal performance, but its additional weight is not always necessary depending on the exposure of the dwelling; a diagnosis can determine the most relevant choice.

Permits, Installation Time, Phasing, and Assistance

A municipal authorization may be required if the replacement alters the exterior appearance of the building, particularly in protected building areas. Expect one to two days for a standard dwelling, a timeframe that mainly depends on the number of openings and their accessibility; it is entirely possible to prioritize a single frame, on the openings most exposed to noise or cold, before extending the replacement to the rest of the dwelling. The Klimabonus 2026 and the reduced VAT at 3% both apply to this type of work under certain conditions related to the dwelling concerned.

Shutters and Blinds: A Useful Acoustic Supplement

Beyond the glazing itself, a closed shutter at night adds an additional layer of attenuation against external noise, particularly useful for bedrooms facing an air corridor. This complementary solution does not replace good glazing but significantly enhances the comfort felt during sleep.

We systematically offer this option during the diagnosis, especially for dwellings most exposed to nighttime noise. The choice between roller shutter, hinged shutter, or blind mainly depends on the existing architecture and the aesthetic constraints specific to each facade.

Find peace with Avenir Rénovations

High-performance frames immediately change the daily life of a household exposed to noise, with a noticeable effect felt from the first night after installation.

Our teams operate throughout Luxembourg City, offering a free visit to measure each opening and assess your actual exposure to surrounding noise.

In Cents, many homeowners underestimate the impact of airborne noise on their sleep quality until they concretely compare a room equipped with recent frames to a room still equipped with original joinery. The difference, often immediate and clear, justifies the investment for many households that contact us after several years of hesitation.

The technical visit, free and without obligation, includes a precise measurement of each opening and personalized advice on the most suitable glazing for your exposure.
