Soundproofing Your Home
How to Sound Proof Your Home

Soundproofing your home

We are regularly contacted by people whose quality of life is being impacted by external noise from traffic on busy or main roads, living in noisy neighborhoods or living in close proximity to external sources of noise such as lifts, communal doors or retail outlets. Simply put, these people just want to have some more peace and quiet in their lives & want to know about sound proofing for homes.

The good news is that by retrofitting double glazing or secondary glazing to existing glass windows &/or doors, we can dramatically reduce the amount of external noise entering your house or home.

Retrofitting double glazing is far cheaper than traditional double glazing & actually provides much better soundproofing & thermal efficiency than traditional double glazing.

Benefits of secondary double glazing for soundproofing homes

1. Retrofitted double glazing can be applied to existing windows &/or glass doors.
   When we install retrofitted secondary double glazing, we install completely new secondary windows (or doors) on the inside of your existing windows in your home. This means that our soundproofing solution can be applied to rented homes, strata title & heritage listed homes as we make no changes to the outside of the existing windows or external facade of your home.
2. It’s cheaper than traditional double glazing.
   Because our soundproofing solution requires us to manufacture and supply a window (or door) with only one pane of glass, it is typically 30-40% cheaper than traditional double glazing, where a new window (or door) with two panes of glass is supplied and installed.
3. It’s gives better soundproofing for your home.
   The science is quite clear and definatively proves this. If you read the Sound Test Results information we have provided, you will see that our Secondary Double Glazed Windows provide a Sound Reduction Index of 45dB (45 decibels). And you can also hear the difference if you watch & listen to the video on the Sound Test Results page.
4. You will save on your heating & cooling costs in your home.
   Our secondary double glazing provides better thermal insulation than traditional double glazing or other solutions such as window film or UPVC glass. Again, the science proves it.
   You will see on the Save Energy Costs page, the “U value” rating of our secondary double glazed windows is around half that of traditional double glazing, which means our retrofitted double glazed windows are far more energy efficient.
   This means you will spend lss money heating your home in winter & cooling your house in summer.
5. It’s quicker & less disruptive to install.
   Its really quite obvious that our process of installing a new interior window will be far less disruptive & much quicker than having to completely remove your existing windows & replace them with new double glazed windows.
   You can watch our double glazing installation videos to see for yourself just how simple the installation process is and how we can manage to install new secondary double glazing in your home in typically less than one hour per window &/or door.
