Noise resistant windows are also a saviour during storms, high wind loads, and torrential rains, as they keep the noise outside.

How can windows reduce noise pollution?

The glass panes are rigid structures, they are ideal for conducting sound waves. Due to this reason, a single pane of glass in your windows will do very little work to avoid unwanted sounds from entering your home. Even double glazing will not make a significant impact. While it is not possible to completely soundproof your home, you can make a real improvement by installing windows with ‘soundproof qualities’.

To have a good noise-reducing impact a window should have a combination of two or more of the following factors:

• Thickness: Generally, if the glass is thicker, the less noise you can hear
• Laminated layers: For example, A layer of, PVB (polyvinyl butyral) between the sheets of glass can lower noise pollution without affecting the clarity of the glass
• Space between the panes: The more the gap between sheets of glass the more the protection. It is also possible to add heavy gases like argon in the gap which will further reduce noise.

So, just by replacing windows with newer versions will not be helpful. If you are in the market for noise-reducing windows, you are more likely to come across three main options:

• Secondary Glazing means adding a second sheet of glass. This is the lowest cost option but not effective particularly for noise problems.
• Noise Reduction Glass is manufactured with great qualities to avoid noise pollution.
• Noise Reduction Windows include the noise reduction glass but their frames and seals and general structure of the windows have been designed to keep noise reduction in view.

How much difference will a soundproof window make?

Replacing your present windows with good quality single or double pane glass can help in reducing some of the noise transmission, but this mostly will not exceed beyond a 20-50% reduction. For homes suffering from really serious noise problems, this will not be enough to make a significant difference.

According to the experts, to get a significant improvement the minimum noise reduction needs to be at least up to 75%. Some specialized windows like the ones used in recording studios can provide noise reduction up to 95% but these are not always suitable for residential properties.

In addition to this, the extra technology that involves soundproofed windows is generally tougher in their construction making them more safe and secure.
