Soundproof Windows
If you are troubled by the annoying sounds
of traffic, airport noise, or barking dogs,
consider eliminating the problem by purchasing
soundproof windows. These are windows that
are installed over your existing windows
in order to eliminate 75% to 95% of the noise
that now penetrates your interior through
the windows.
Here are some things you should
know about
soundproof windows:
- Soundproof windows create a sound barrier
by increasing the air space between the two
sets of windows. Because they are made from
laminated glass their inner layer of plastic
stops noise vibrations, while the spring
loaded seals in their frames prevent sound
leaks.
- Soundproof windows open and close just like
your existing windows.
- Soundproof windows can also dramatically
increase home security. Laminated glass (the
major component in bullet proof glass) does
not shatter when broken but remains intact.
As a result, it is an excellent break-in
deterrent. Similarly, they are also a good
choice in areas of the country prone to hurricanes,
earthquakes, violent windstorms, and tornadoes.
- In addition to the quiet they provide, soundproof
windows will increase the insulation of your
dwelling and so will save heating and cooling
costs.
Soundproof windows are quickly and easily
installed over your existing windows; since
your current windows are not removed during
the installation process, there is little
to no construction mess to put up with. For
all these reasons, soundproof windows are
a significant home improvement that can increase
the marketability of your home if you ever
wish to sell. |
