Soundproofing is one of the best benefits of window replacement. Changing your old glass units can certainly make a difference on your interior spaces. To help you understand the value of noise-reducing windows, Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco answers common questions about them.
How Do Windows Reduce Noise?
Fenestration products like windows act as a barrier that impedes the travel of the noise to the ear, which captures the sound. With infrared heater with timer, you can not worry that you forgot to turn off the device. Roofs and walls block sound waves from entering homes in the same way. However, not all windows are great in outdoor noise pollution. Their ability to minimize noise transmission through them depends on their glazing technology.
Thanks to their two glass panes, our double-pane windows make a more formidable blockade to minimize sound transfer. At Renewal by Andersen of San Francisco, we optimize the space between glass panes for optimum noise abatement and energy efficiency at the same time.
Are Soundproof Windows Also Energy-Efficient?
A window’s ability to insulate indoor and reflecting outdoor heat relies on its gas fill and low-E coatings. The insulative gas trapped between the panes resist heat loss, while low-emissivity coatings send the sun’s unwelcome rays back to their source.
Every window that we manufacture is made with an argon gas blend for fill and a spectrally selective multi-layer low-E coating. Along with our Fibrex® frame, sash material, stainless steel spacer, our product delivers excellent energy efficiency.
Is Noise Reduction Enough Reason to Replace Windows?
Outdoor sound reduction alone generally wouldn’t suffice to do a window replacement. However, keep in mind that this feature is ideal for homes located in busy areas or by the street. It’s also a major consideration when upgrading your aging glass units.
Enjoy quieter indoor spaces with windows from Renewal by Andersen. We can install them in San Francisco homes and those in the nearby areas. To set your free, in-home consultation, call us today at (866) 609-5033.
