How Double Glazing Can Help Improve Noise Quality

Did you know that Ecostar’s double glazing can massively reduce noise pollution? The technology behind double glazing is simple yet effective, and it has quickly become a preferred solution for many looking to improve their living environments, especially in busy areas.

Improved Volume Control

For a quick recap, the basic idea behind double glazing is to use two panes of glass instead of one. The panes are separated by a small gap, which is typically filled with a gas such as argon or krypton. This gap acts as an insulator, trapping heat inside the building and keeping cold air out.

But something you may not know is that double glazing has a significant impact on noise pollution. This is because the two panes of glass act as a barrier, blocking out external noise and reducing the amount of sound that enter indoors.

The amount of sound reduction provided by double glazing depends on the thickness of the glass and the width of the gap between the panes. The thicker the glass and the wider the gap, the better the noise insulation will be.

Double glazing is particularly effective at blocking out low-frequency sounds, such as traffic and industrial noise. This is because low-frequency noise tends to travel through solid materials, such as brick and concrete, more easily than high-frequency sound. But by using two panes of glass, double glazing creates a barrier that is more effective at blocking them.

Other Benefits Of Double Glazing

In addition to reducing outside noises coming inside the home, double glazing also has other benefits. It can improve the overall thermal comfort of your home, making it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. It can also reduce UV light penetration, which can help to protect furniture and carpets from fading.

Overall, double glazing is a simple yet effective solution for reducing noise pollution. This will be especially good news if you live somewhere that gets very noisy. Maybe you have a particularly boisterous group of neighbours next door? Or perhaps you live on the same road as a heavy metal club or close to a busy airport?
