Stop noise travelling through aluminum window frame (spandrel wall)

$250

St Kilda East, Victoria

15th Jan 2026

Thinking of getting a carpenter or tradesperson to build something bespoke to help stop noise travelling through an airgap between apartments via the hollow aluminum window frames (spandrel wall). Obvious option is for secondary glazing to sit behind existing window, however I was thinking of some type of casing / shell / trims to be made to go over the existing aluminum frame, with a mass loaded vinyl underneath, as combined this should dampen the sound. This would be required on 1 x large (3 pane window) and 3 x smaller windows. Also, open to suggestions for alternative methods.

Garden Sheds and installation

$400

St Kilda East, Victoria

2nd Dec 2025

Hi AirTaskers, we live in St Kilda East and want to get 2 sheds for the side of our house. Is there any difference in quality between EasySheds and Stratco sheds that you are aware of before we purchase? These are the two sheds: https://easyshed.com.au/products/narrow-slider-garden-shed-3m-w-x-0-78m-d-classic?variant=40701903044767 https://www.stratco.com.au/au/sheds--garages/garden-sheds/handi-mate-garden-sheds/handi-mate-locker/handi-mate-locker-2.91x0.85-slate-grey-shmlsddhmlsg/ The sheds will go up against the brick wall of the house. There is an existing concrete base but it appears to not be level. (Water run off?) Just after a quote to install the 2 sheds and if you can help with levelling the base if that is required? Also there appears to be a narrow gas pipe which we would have to work around. See 2nd Photo The 1st photo is where we would like the sheds to go. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please let us know if you need any more information... Cheers Jon and Christina

Highly recommend James for shed installations. Installed our 2 Stratco sheds very professionally in a narrow space.
