For those conducting business in their hotel room or simply relaxing,... Read More →

Soundproof Windows can provide soundproof sliding doors and soundproof windows that will end your noise problem for good, with an STC rating that is the highest offered on the soundproofing market today. More often than not, noise is let in through your windows not your walls, and by installing a soundproof window in your home, office or studio you will reduce the noise in your building by...

Hotel Mark Twain finds Peace and Quiet!

Built in 1928, the Hotel Mark Twain is an amazing Boutique Hotel, located in the heart of San Francisco’s Shopping District. Within walking distance of Union Square, Market Street, countless restaurants, and great local activities. The Hotel and location are both extraordinary, but being a “Big City” Hotel also comes with its challenges. One challenge, in particular, was at one time thought to be impossible or impractical to address?

All making their own contributions to the choir of San Francisco’s city noise, nearly 24/7. To make things even more of a challenge, the Hotel Mark Twain is a Historical site. This means that any changes to... Read More →
