Here are some of our expert tips from PortwindowGlass.com to help you create that perfect soundproof home.

Windows are a very important factor to creating a soundproof environment. When planning out your windows, there are four factors to incorporate when trying to soundproof:

• Size

• Thickness

• Materials

• Soundproof Rating Requirement (also referred to as STC).

Size:

Basically, the larger the window, the more sound can leak through. You must plan an accurate size for optimal soundproofing.

Thickness:

The thickness will change depending on what type of applications you need. Different glass thickness will block out different sound-wave lengths.

Materials:

When soundproofing, it is essential to know your options for glazing and lamination. There are also tapes and acoustic foams to line your windows to enhance your sound control.

STC:

The air space between panes also affects the STC; larger air space between panes will have a higher STC. By laminating the glass and using an insulated glass unit (two or more panes) & incorporate varying thicknesses of glass, will help the overall soundproofing experience.
