Soundproofing: What you need to know to meet your needs

Sound insulation is one of the most important features when choosing frames, especially when it comes to homes located in urban environments with high noise pollution.

According to surveys conducted among urban residents over the last decade, noise pollution is the main factor that negatively affects daily living. Therefore, acoustic comfort is now considered a key priority for the contemporary person who wants to live in places that protect him from external noise.

How can we ensure that the frames we choose for our home offer effective sound reduction?

Before taking the plunge, we need to ask the right questions that will lead us to the right answers, that will drive our selection: 

• Whatwaterproofing materials are used in the aluminium system we are interested in? 
• Are sound-reducing membranes used on the glass pane of the system?
• Is thethickness of the glass pane suitable for our needs?
• Does the aluminium system we choose offer certified soundproofing performance?

In addition to the answers to the above questions, it is equally important to collaborate with a reliable fabricator of aluminium windows, who knows and applies good installation practices and sealing techniques, so that our windows seal hermetically, maximizing their soundproofing capacity. 

Finally, it is particularly useful to see in practice the performance of the frame we are interested in.
