You probably know how annoying it is to have to suffer through a neighbor’s disturbances if you’ve ever lived in an apartment. There’s nothing more frustrating than being kept awake at night by the noises that come through thin walls. While this is almost a non-issue for many modern homeowners, this doesn’t mean that detached homes are entirely immune to noise pollution. Depending on where you live, the dangers might be closer than you think.
As the go-to resource for awning windows installation and other related services, our professionals at Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City understand the importance of soundproofing your home. Here are our most useful tips to help you reduce the noise and enjoy some well-deserved peace and quiet.
What Noise Can Do
Apart from attracting the attention of your neighbors, high levels of noise can do all sorts of damage to your health. Studies show that continuous exposure to loud auditory stimuli is linked to high blood pressure, cardiovascular irregularities and poor mental health, as well as heart diseases and stroke. You don’t need an expert to tell you that the price of treatment to any of these conditions far outweighs the costs of proper soundproofing.
How Our Windows Can Help
Soundwaves are unlikely to penetrate solid objects such as walls, which leaves your windows and doors as the number one entryway for outside noise pollution to come in. This problem is magnified if you live closer to urban areas and busy roads, where the noise of everyday traffic remains audible within a mile-long radius.
You can reduce noise pollution by choosing the right type of home replacement windows. Our products have been tested to significantly lower the impact of noise as well as minimize the sounds that can pass through our standard double-pane glazing.
The Gift of Silence
It’s easy to find window and door manufacturers who make claims about what their products can do, but only a rare few can actually back up their statements with tested and proven evidence. Our replacement windows are designed to enhance your quality of life and give you and your family the gift of silence.
