SoundProof Windows Serve as Storm Windows as well!

Storm windows are usually installed as a cheap, economical alternative to single pane windows. “Storm Windows” are installed on the outside of the single pane window (usually the primary house window). Homeowners can opt for interior storm windows or exterior storm windows, which are installed on already existing windows. Unlike SoundProof Windows, these do not prevent noise.

Do Airports Offer Noise Abatement Options to Homeowners?

With the 4th of July just around the corner, most of America is queuing up to have a celebratory barbecue with their friends, family, neighbors at home. Everyone will be inside, to avoid the bright summer sun, as hardworking homeowners sip their beers/cocktails and their kids run around in red, white, and blue attire. An idyllic scene of the American Dream, as anyone might say. An idyllic and satisfying scene it would be, until a Boeing 737 aircraft roared by at 150 miles per hour only 100 ft above the disrupted party-goers heads. The sound would leave everyone reeling, causing the kids to cry from fear at the unexpected noise and its volume.    Sadly, this scene will play out many times across the country,... Read More →

Why Our Soundproof Windows Work

For many people, the search has been a long one for a soundproof window that works, and is affordable. We started our company because the market wasn’t offering a decent soundproofing window, and we had a problem in our own home. Search after search, trial, and error, we found nothing that could actually solve our problem. We found that dual paned windows were sadly inadequate at stopping sound, so we set to work.

In-field installations proved it reduced noise by 75%, and we couldn’t locate any other company that had the success that we had.... Read More →
