How Do Soundproof Windows Work?

The effectiveness of a soundproof window is measured by “Sound Transmission Class” (STC) or ISO Sound Reduction Index (SRI). They are widely used to rate interior partitions, ceilings, floors, doors, windows and exterior wall configurations.

Good soundproofing windows must eliminate 90-95% of exterior noise—this typically means they’ll have an STC rating of about 45-50. Let’s make a comparison, single-pane windows have an STC rating of 18-21, double-pane windows have an STC rating of 27-37 depending on the construction of the window, and triple-pane windows have an STC of around 31-41.

5 Effective Ways to Soundproof Your Home

Blocking out noise completely with soundproof windows only is not safe enough. We are here to help you dig more strategies out.

1. Replace Single-pane Windows with Dual or TriplePanes

Single-pane glass treatments have no insulation. When you have only one pane of glass installed in your window, temperatures, noise and dirt from outside will affect your home more easily. Meanwhile, the costs of heating or cooling down your home will go up dramatically.

Double Panes VS Triple Panes

Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is an essential factor when choosing windows. Double pane windows are a great option to be more energy efficient because they are better at insulating heat and cold. In addition, triple pane windows tend to cost more upfront, but they will pay for themselves over time in terms of the amount of money saved on utility bills.
Noise Deduction
Double or triple pane windows should give you peace of mind and provide good insulation, so you're comfortable throughout the seasons. Double pane windows will help reduce the outdoor noise by up to 18 decibels, whereas triple pane windows can reduce it by as much as 37 decibels.
Cost
Double paned windows provide an outstanding balance between insulation, price, and performance, so that they might be better for those looking for an affordable option with a reasonable level of energy efficiency. The cost of double paned windows will vary depending on size, brand, and where you purchase them from but usually start around $200 per unit.
Triple paned windows are more expensive and start at about $300 per unit but offer higher performance overall, which may justify the extra cost if you want peace of mind to keep your home warm in winter or cool in summer.

Is it worth upgrading to triple-pane windows?

Triple-pane windows work similarly to double-pane windows but with an extra layer of glass and plastic. This means there are more panes for sound waves to have to travel through before they reach the other side, making it more difficult for noise to pass through.
While triple-pane windows cost more than double-pane windows, they offer many added benefits, from improved efficiency to sound reduction. When deciding if triple-pane windows are worth upgrading, consider how long you plan to stay in your home and the climate you live in. If you frequently experience extreme cold or hot weather, then it might be your best choice.

2. Upgrade Your Sealing System

Apart from the frame and sash (including glazing), sealing system plays another key parts that shouldn’t be ignored. Good window manufacturers will apply three to four layers in sealing system with high-quality EPDM rubber gasket to keep the sound out, lowering the decibels that eventually come into the house. Try to seal all gaps around your windows using caulking and installing quality windows with a good sealing system.

3.Acoustic Curtains

Acoustic curtains are another good excellent way of reducing noise that reaches your home from outside. They are very stylish,effective and can block unwanted light at night as well.
Compared with standard curtains, acoustic curtains are more energy efficient because of their insulating qualities.

4. Block the Window with Furniture

You can reduce the
noise simply by placing the right furnishings near your windows. The thick,
heavy materials will capture some of those obnoxious sound waves and help to
reduce the vibratory impact of outside noise. Now place a heavy rug next to
your window or move a heavy couch, chair or other furniture near the window.
Wait and see what happens.

5. Install Window Shutters

Window shutters are cheap and effective ways to block the noise out of your room. In fact, their function is to ensure the privacy and security of your house. However, they can also protect the windows from harsh weather conditions and keep noise out.

Excellent window and door installation!
The service we received from Warren was excellent! We even had our system window and soundproof glass door delivered and installed weeks ahead of schedule. We have noticed a huge reduction in sound as a result and look forward to lower energy bills than expected this winter too!

The windows look great and it has made most of the traffic effectively silent which has transformed how peaceful the room is! Warren has worked on two different projects for me and I would have no hesitation in recommending them, they are a fantastic company!
— Tim
We live on a busy road next door to the restaurant with an outdoor patio. The level of noise in our home made it very difficult to sleep at night. We ended up replacing the windows facing the commercial property. The difference was immediately noticeable. As we learned and are now experiencing, soundproof windows do not completely eliminate noise but they take the edge off a loud noise and provide an excellent buffer. I would highly recommend this company.
