Insulation and replacement windows are some of the most cost-effective ways to combat noise pollution and boost the green credentials of the nation's homes, it has been suggested.

Furthermore, according to planet-conscious property specialists at the Residential Landlord website, the initial costs of double glazing for existing windows and doors should not be a disincentive, as lower heating bills steadily return the cash.

"While double glazing can be fairly expensive, it will reduce noise and lower heating bills," the site confirmed, before going on to note that a range of financial benefits are at hand for landlords and homeowners who demonstrate their energy-saving efforts.

The governmental Landlord's Energy Saving Allowance is one such benefit, enabling individuals to reduce their income tax when they boost their properties' insulation.

Earlier this month, communities minister Iain Wright urged business owners to boost insulation and take up the "green buildings challenge" as part of the government's drive to bring down the carbon footprint of the UK.
