Peace and Quiet at Home With Impact Windows and Doors

When you're relaxing, you deserve peace and quiet at home. Whether you want to listen to music, enjoy quiet conversation, or enjoy the depth of uninterrupted sleep, the noise insulation of your home makes a big difference.

Noise pollution is when sound travels through the walls or affects nearby environments. Traffic, yard work, loud conversations, and airplanes overhead can all cause noise pollution inside your home unless its structure keeps the noise out. If you want to enjoy a quiet indoors (and audio privacy), the noise-reduction qualities of impact windows and doors can help you achieve your goal.

Impact Windows and Doors vs. Noise Pollution

Most of the time, we think of impact windows and doors as a security measure. They protect your home from intense weather and unwanted intruders by resisting outside forces, but most people don't realize that the insulated glass also has excellent sound reduction qualities.

Sound Qualities of Impact Glass

Impact windows and doors stop sounds because of how the glass is put together. Impact glass is made from two panes of dense, durable glass fused with a flexible laminate sheet in the center. While glass normally vibrates with sound waves, the laminate layer provides additional insulation against noise transmission. Because the laminate is flexible, it is less likely to vibrate and prevents the glass from vibrating.

It reduces the sound waves when they try to pass through your impact windows or doors. This creates a quieter environment and increases sound privacy inside your home.

Expert Installation

In addition to the glass, expert installation of your impact windows and doors contributes to noise reduction. Durable frames, secure installation, and perfectly sealed panes inside each window and door frame ensure unwanted sounds cannot slip through.

Benefits of Noise Reduction

When your windows and doors protect your home from noise pollution, you can enjoy an improved quality of life. Noise-insulated homes make it easier to sleep deeply no matter your schedule. Peace and quiet at home allow for greater stress release as you unwind. You will also enjoy greater privacy, as your indoor conversations and media are less likely to be heard outdoors.

Increased Home Security

When most people think of impact windows and doors, noise reduction isn't the first quality that comes to mind. Peace is a wonderful benefit, but the primary purpose of impact glass is to increase the security of your home against both storms and intruders.

Hurricane and Storm Protection

Impact windows and doors can withstand all kinds of storms and even Category 5 hurricanes. They will remain steadfast against high-speed winds, flying debris, driving hail, and other hazards that might put other types of glass to the test. Your home and family will remain safe indoors when protected by impact glass in your windows and doors.

Security From Intruders

That same incredible durability can also keep you safe from home intruders. Anyone trying to smash their way into your home will be surprised when the glass holds fast. Hurricanes are stronger than humans. Most attempts to break the glass directly will be thwarted, maintaining the security of your home.

Energy Efficiency and UV Protection

The unique construction of impact windows and doors contributes to your home's energy efficiency and protects it from UV rays. The laminate layer between two panes of glass provides a surprisingly high insulation R-value. The plastic layer does not change temperature as easily as glass and prevents the outer pane from changing at the same rate as the inner pane. Heat can't get in, and cold can't get out. This means your AC doesn't have to work as hard to maintain indoor cool temperatures, reducing energy bills with every impact window or door.

Impact windows and doors act similarly to double-pane glass glass in terms of insulation. The laminate layer also stops more UV rays than typical glass.

Peace and Quiet in Your Home

Impact windows and doors offer benefits, but most people don't realize the profound advantages of noise reduction. In addition to security and energy efficiency, you will enjoy greater peace and quiet at home once you install impact windows and doors. The glass design stops noise transmission, keeping outside noises out while increasing privacy inside your home.
