Disturbing noise from the outside world enters the house mainly through the windows. Especially those who live near busy streets, airports or train tracks have to deal with loud urban traffic noise. This not only disturbs concentration, but also leads to sleep disorders and health problems in the long run.
If your windows are still single-glazed, then the noise from the outside world can pass through them almost unhindered. You can upgrade acoustic window inserts yourself, such as silicone seals, to achieve better soundproof values.
However, near airports or busy roads, multiple layers of glass are usually not enough. For the living comfort of you and your family, you can use noise proof windows with soundproof glass as well as soundproof frames and thicker glass to greatly reduce the noise level.
Contact us now to order soundproof windows, Grandsea will provide high-quality door and window products to help you create a comfortable and quiet living atmosphere.
Sound proofing windows differ from ordinary windows in the structure of the window glass.
If the sound waves of a noise hit the glass of a standard glass window, it vibrates. The glass vibrations are transmitted to the air. This means that the noise is dampened somewhat, but can still be clearly heard inside.
To prevent this, modern soundproof windows are constructed asymmetrically:
On the outside of the window there is a laminated glass, which consists of at least two glass panels bonded together by a soundproofing membrane. This changes the structure of the glass and also the resonant frequency. On the inside of the window there is an insulating glass with one or two layers of air gaps, which, due to the different spacing of the glass panels in soundproofing glass, the sound waves are broken and cannot be transmitted to the interior.
The strength of the soundproofing depends mainly on the size of the space between the glass panels and the thickness of the glass panels.
In general:
In addition, the space between the glass panels of sound dampening windows is filled with an inert gas, just like in the case of insulating glass. This also further increases the soundproofing effect.
High-quality soundproof windows from Grandsea make it easy to block out noise. Instead of being too noisy to close your eyes at night, effective soundproofing makes an important contribution to your own well-being. Because whether in an apartment or in a private living space, it is absolutely necessary to relax from everyday life.
In order to achieve the best soundproofing effect with a noise reduction of up to 94%, we strictly control the manufacturing processes and standards of sound resistant windows. The decisive factors for effective soundproofing are the frame and glass used for soundproof windows. Since customized window production is allowed, the windows can be adapted to the needs of different customers. Depending on the thickness and quality of the glass, the shape of the glass is also an important component of the soundproofing effect. The greater the difference in thickness between the outer and inner glass, the better the soundproofing effect.
To know whether you need noise reduction windows, you can look not only at your subjective feelings, but also at the classification of the corresponding windows: Modern windows are divided into 6 soundproofing levels. The higher the soundproofing level, the higher the soundproofing effect. Choosing the right soundproofing level depends on the noise level of the environment in which you live and your subjective feelings.
Windows are particularly important in terms of soundproofing, especially outdated windows, which have a poor soundproofing effect compared to exterior walls. However, too much soundproofing also has some disadvantages. For example, there are
If the noise protection is too high, this is to be expected. To find the right soundproofing windows for your home, consult our windows and doors online. grandsea will help you find the perfect soundproofing for your windows.
To get a guide in advance for the required soundproofing, you can use the different soundproofing levels as a guide. According to international standards, soundproofing windows are divided into six soundproofing levels, which are subdivided according to the degree of soundproofing. The soundproofing index indicates how much annoying noise from the outside world is blocked through the window. Windows with a soundproofing rating of 3 reduce penetrating sound by 30-35 dB. A 10 dB reduction in decibels is perceived by the human ear as half the volume.
Make sure the window is tight enough!
Not only noise but also cold and moisture can penetrate through small gaps between the window and the wall, especially through the window or door frame. You can use a candle to test if air is getting in: where the flame flickers, there is a leak. The paper trick works better on windows - place a piece of paper over the open window frame and close the window. If you can still pull the paper out when you close the window, the window is not sealed well. If this is the case, you can seal the affected area with self-adhesive sealing tape. You can fill small holes between the window and the wall with sound proof window inserts such as sealants.
Soundproofing | Soundproofing level | Price per window sash(aluminum) |
20-25 dB | Level 1 | $100 |
25-30 dB | Level 2 | $140 |
30-35 dB | Level 3 | $180 |
35-40 dB | Level 4 | $230 |
40-45 dB | Level 5 | $280 |
45dB 以上 | Level 6 | $320 |
Soundproof windows use a multi-layer glass structure and are usually thicker than ordinary windows. Our soundproof windows use special soundproof glass and sealing technology to reduce up to 95% of external noise. Ordinary windows cannot achieve this soundproofing effect.
We use STC (Sound Transmission Class) ratings to measure soundproofing effects. The STC value of ordinary double-glazed windows is usually between 26-28, while our high-performance soundproof windows can reach STC 45-55, which means that most external noise can be blocked.
Of course. In addition to excellent soundproofing, our sound reducing windows also have excellent thermal insulation properties, which can help you save energy costs. At the same time, the multi-layer glass structure also improves safety and enhances impact resistance. It is a multi-faceted home improvement investment.
No. Our soundproof windows use high-transmittance glass, which will not significantly affect indoor lighting. At the same time, the windows can be opened normally without affecting ventilation. We also provide design options with vents to ensure good air circulation while maintaining soundproofing.
We offer a variety of frame materials, colors and styles to perfectly match the decoration style of your home. In addition, we can also customize the soundproofing level according to your specific needs to ensure that we provide you with the most suitable solution.
