Homes should be peaceful and quiet from the outside world. It\u2019s easy to shut a door to stop wind or to close the curtains to eliminate light, but it\u2019s not quite that simple when it comes to noise.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, the majority of sound enters through windows, being that a windowpane is usually 3mm thick. This does little to insulate against noise, regardless of whether a window is open or closed. So what options do you have if you\u2019re sick of noise and it\u2019s starting to impact your life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should I retrofit new windows in existing frames?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering whether retrofitting your existing frames with new windows will help reduce noise. So let\u2019s take a look at the possibilities. To understand the noise reduction abilities of windows, it\u2019s important to first take a look at the types of windows on the market alongside their Sound Transmission Class (STC). Keep in mind that a window can have an STC rating of anything from 18 \u2013 38, with 38 being the highest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single pane: 26-28 STC
Double pane: 26-32 STC
Soundproofed single pane: 48-54 STC
Soundproofed double pane:48-54 STC<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These ratings aren\u2019t final, but they give a good indication of what is expected with each type of window installation. As you can see, replacing existing window panes with a higher quality single or double glass still won\u2019t exceed more than a 50% reduction.\u00a0Acoustic experts generally say that for there to be a noticeable difference in noise reduction, at least 75% is required, so just replacing glass alone will not suffice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the best windows on the market for noise reduction?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To put it plainly,\u00a0double glazed windows with uPVC frames<\/a>\u00a0are the best option for noise reduction. uPVC frames are built with unplasticised polyvinyl chloride, and unlike traditional wooden or metal frames, they don\u2019t require sealing (or painting). This not only aids in noise reduction, it also significantly reduces the maintenance required over the lifetime of the window. Pairing a uPVC frame with a double glazed window further enhances insulation and is the best bet for noise reduction. This combination also provides numerous other benefits over traditional windows such as self-extinguishing abilities, high wind load performance and rot-proof characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you looking to add double glazed windows and uPVC frames to your home?\u00a0Energy Efficient Windows<\/a>\u00a0partners with\u00a0REHAU<\/a>\u00a0to bring you the comprehensive noise reduction qualities. REHAU is a trusted name in the window trade, having been in operation for over 70 years. They\u2019re the leading uPVC manufacturer of window profiles and can easily insulate interiors from sounds of up to 40dB, which is 10dB above the recommended max sleeping noise level for residential homes. REHAU windows and doors were used in Energy Efficient Window\u2019s very own\u00a0PassivHaus build<\/a>, and the results speak for themselves. The highly effective dual compression gaskets provide an excellent tightness of windows and doors, which aids further in sound insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
