Soundproof Windows can be added to glass in historical buildings where various scenarios can prevent removing the original windows and glass. Insulation and soundproofing can be achieved in such situations, in addition to solving air infiltration issues found in older windows. It is possible to double the insulation value of the window and reduce air infiltration by more than 95 percent by adding our Soundproof Windows.
Why are Soundproof Windows are Perfect for Building Restoration Projects?
By adding Soundproof Windows, the following can be achieved:
- Effectively convert a single pane window into a dual pane window
- Convert a simple dual pane into a good quality low-e equivalent window
- Convert a high-efficiency dual pane into a super-high efficiency window
Soundproof Windows added to existing windows help insulate and conserve energy. This is perfect for old buildings with outdated A/C or heating features. Not only will there be a reduction of noise from the outside, as many buildings built a few decades ago have drafty and old windows, they will get necessary insulation that is needed as well. This helps keep the warmth and cool air in and help with energy bills.
Keeping the same outside appearance for all of the windows on a historical project is crucial. Add Soundproof Windows only behind those windows that need soundproofing, and more can be added after project completion if needed.
Soundproof Windows work well in residential soundproofing and commercial building soundproofing. While not specifically designed to be energy efficient windows, our windows save energy because they insulate the windows already installed on homes and commercial buildings. Many customers contact us because they cannot replace their windows or do not wish to, but need to save on energy bills. Visit our American Institute of Architects brochure for additional technical details about our soundproof windows, including STC ratings, drawings, and LEED referenced energy performance.
There are many frame combinations available that will allow us to mount our Soundproof Windows to virtually any wall surface.
The drawings represented here are our most common mounting combinations. Regardless of frame selected, they will “disappear” and seem to be part of your existing window. Our near-invisible frames are excellent for historical preservation projects.
If looking to change windows on commercial buildings and homes or looking for an upgrade on them for the better, contact Soundproof Windows today and let us help you with your Soundproofing needs.
