With the festive season just around the corner, and families and friends getting together to celebrate, it’s expected that noise levels inside and outside the home will increase. If you’re trying to enjoy a quiet moment and escape from the hustle and bustle of this time of year, then double or triple glazing is a great way to reduce the noise from outside or even stop the noise from spreading outside.
How do double and triple glazed windows reduce noise?
Double glazing consists of two panes of glass separated by a gap filled with air or inert gas, while triple glazing has an additional pane and gas-filled space. This structure acts as a barrier to sound waves, dampening external noises such as traffic or festivities. As triple glazing has an additional glass layer and air gap, it creates even better noise reducing windows than double glazed windows.
Benefits of double and triple glazing
Not only do double and triple glazing provide excellent noise reduction compared to single glazing, but they also offer great energy efficiency. The insulating properties of double and triple glazing help maintain indoor temperatures, which leads to lower energy bills—a welcome benefit during the colder festive period.
As both double and triple glazing have additional layers of glass, they are stronger than single glazed windows. This provides better protection against potential intruders, as there’s an additional pane of glass keeping you safe. Triple glazing typically offers slightly better protection as well as soundproofing due to the extra pane and air gap, making it a great choice for homes in noisy environments.
Choosing the right window material
Choosing the right window frame material is another way to enhance noise reduction and increase the overall performance of your windows.
At K Glazing, we offer PVCu windows, which are known for their durability and low maintenance. Our new PVCu windows have window energy ratings of A as standard, keeping homes at a comfortable temperature all year round. They are available in various styles and colours to complement your home’s design.
We also have aluminium windows which can give a sleeker look to your home. Our aluminium windows are strong and lightweight, meaning they can accommodate larger panes of glass. This is great for maximising the amount of natural light that flows into a room. Aluminium’s strength also means they’re weather-resistant and cope with the typical British weather.
