Your Indianapolis home should be a place of comfort. If you live near a busy intersection or have many neighbors, the peace and tranquility of your home environment may be contaminated by noise. From traffic and police sirens to barking dogs, certain windows can allow all of the noise of the outdoor environment into your inside living space. Fortunately, this noise pollution can be reduced without blocking access to natural light with the installation of new windows.
Older windows tend to let in more sound than newer windows, and there are many reasons for this. First, window technology has improved significantly in recent years, and the importance of noise reduction is considered during the design process. Today’s windows are far more soundproof than those of years ago. Thicker and made to last, new windows will help you to increase the comfort in your home by reducing noise and providing superior energy efficiency.
How tightly your windows close is another factor that determines how much noise they let in. As windows age, they may not sit as tightly in the frame as they once did, allowing more of the outside elements, and noise, into your home.
Windows that are older also frequently experience issues with broken seals or hardware. These problems not only decrease the energy efficiency in your home, but they also allow sounds and smells in, disturbing the quiet in your home.
When choosing new windows for your home, start with a professional consultation. An experienced window installer will help you to determine the reason why your home is noisy and provide options for home window replacement that will fit both your needs and your taste.
It is also important to have your windows professionally installed. No matter how well designed a window may be, if it is installed incorrectly, it can’t do its job. A professional window installer will make sure that your windows will provide noise-reduction for many years to come.
