Soundproofing Your Windows
It is time to make your windows soundproof if you’ve had enough of the outside dog barks and car squeals. Soundproofing your windows can be done with the help of a window installation company. There are a few options available to you:
Upgrade to Double- or Triple-Paned Windows
Upgrading to double- or triple-paned windows is a long-term solution to your concern about noise pollution. When compared to single-pane windows, their noise reduction capabilities are significantly superior. While double- and triple-pane windows can reduce the noise of loud speech to an inaudible murmur, while single-pane windows do not block conversational sounds.
Add Glass Inserts
Installing glass inserts in the window frames can make an old window noise-canceling. Put the insert in front of the interior glass panel of the window. This will create airspace, preventing noise from entering the house. Up to 80% less noise may result from this.
Add Storm Windows over the Current Ones
Storm windows can be added over the existing windows instead of replacing them if replacing or installing new windows is out of the question right now. Storm windows can lessen the noise by about 10%–35%, so this will still help reduce noise from outside. These windows do not obscure views, so you can still take in the view outside.
First Aid Treatment: Caulk the Gaps in the Windows
Currently, caulking the gaps in the windows is a more cost-effective option. Not only do caulking windows reduce noise, but they may also help to insulate the room.
These should help reduce the amount of noise that enters your home, regardless of which of the options above you believe is best for you.
