The Best Windows for Reducing Noise

When customers approach us about new window installations, they’re often aware of the energy-saving potential of glass. Yet, few consider the many ways in which windows can help to reduce noise in the home. If you’re battling with sleeplessness caused by outside noise, some window treatments may be all you need to correct the problem. As professionals at your San Jose glass company, we’re here to help.


 Here are some of the methods that you can use to reduce the noise in your home.

 

Glass treatments that help to reduce noise

Some windows are better at soundproofing than others. Here are some of the factors to consider

Thicker glass – to effectively reduce noise, choose glass that is at least 0.2”

Laminated glass – although the main purpose of laminated glass is security, it also muffles sound. Laminated glass is heat-treated and bonded together with a thin plastic sheet.

Double or triple glazing – multiple panes of glass help to reduce noise. The thicker the combined panes the less invasive the noise.

Bigger air gaps – the bigger the air gap between the panes the less noise will enter the room. Discuss your options with your San Jose glass company.

Other Noise Muffling Options

In addition to the changes above, there are other actions that you can take to improve the noise insulation in your home.

Make sure that your window frames are properly sealed by caulking gaps and applying weather seal to all moving window components

Hang heavy drapes or acoustic curtains to help deaden the sound from outside

Consider ways in which you can improve the sound insulation of your siding.
