How To Soundproof Your Home With Ecostar

When you choose Ecostar for your double-glazed windows and doors, you might wonder: How soundproof is double glazing? As our cities and towns are busier, this could inevitably lead to more noise. Whether it is your noisy neighbours, a dog bark, or a hedge trimmer, we could all benefit from some peace and quiet. 

In this guide, we will help you find ways to soundproof your home. To learn more, get in touch with us today. 

Add Decorative Glass to Your Double Glazing Windows

Here at Ecostar, we offer double glazed decorative glass designs that not only look fantastic but improve your home’s privacy levels. We can even add your existing designs to be fitted into thermally efficient windows. 

Most homes in Australia have single-glazed windows. However, we are dedicated to making double glazing the default choice for homeowners because it is eco-friendly and sustainable.

Double glazing has many benefits for your home. It offers outstanding thermal efficiency by helping trap warm air in winter and keeping your home cool in summer. Trapping natural heat in your home could help you save money on your energy bills. Get the best of both worlds with our soundproof windows. 

Our double-glazed uPVC windows can help create a sound barrier that could reduce noise by up to 90%. The barrier works by dampening vibrations within the window unit, which is essential when you consider how much time you spend in your home. 

Seal Gaps and Cracks

Another crucial step in soundproofing your home is sealing any gaps and cracks that may allow noise to enter. Even small gaps around windows, doors, and walls can let outside noise in. When you seal the gaps, this could help cut loud noises down to a whisper.

Use weatherstripping or caulking to seal these areas and prevent sound from entering. Additionally, consider installing door sweeps to seal the gap between the bottom of the door and the floor. This can help block out noise and create a more effective soundproof barrier.

Use Soundproof Curtains 

Another effective way to reduce noise in your home is by using soundproof curtains. These specially designed window coverings are made with a flexible material that’s designed to block out sound waves. Soundproof curtains and blinds can be particularly useful if you live in a noisy area or near a busy road.

When choosing soundproof curtains, look for options with a high noise reduction rating. These curtains are typically made with thick, heavy fabrics that provide excellent sound absorption. They can be a stylish and practical addition to your home, helping to create a more peaceful and quiet environment.

Add Insulation to Walls and Ceilings

Insulating your walls and ceilings can also help reduce noise transmission and create a more soundproof home. Insulation materials, such as fibreglass, are excellent at absorbing sound waves and preventing them from travelling through walls and ceilings.

Consider adding insulation to the walls and ceilings of rooms that are most affected by noise, such as bedrooms or home offices. This can help create a quieter and more comfortable space, allowing you to relax and focus without distractions.

Use Soundproofing Panels or Acoustic Tiles 

For those seeking a more advanced soundproofing solution, soundproofing panels or acoustic tiles can be highly effective. These panels are designed to absorb sound waves and reduce echo, creating a more acoustically balanced environment.

Soundproofing panels can be installed on walls, ceilings, or even as room dividers. They come in a variety of styles and designs, allowing you to choose options that complement your existing decor. Whether you’re setting up a home theater or creating a peaceful workspace, soundproofing panels can make a significant difference in reducing noise.
