How Windows Make Your Home a Peaceful Place

If you live in a bustling neighborhood, then chances are that you get woken up very early in the morning due to the noise of cars and the general atmosphere around you. In that case, then getting new replacement windows will help you tremendously get that much needed peace and quiet. Thankfully, replacement windows aren’t only energy-efficient and beautiful, but they can also block out outdoor noise.

Here’s how new windows can make your home a peaceful and quiet place.

Sound Transmission Coefficient (STC)

If you’re looking for replacement windows, make sure that you take note of their STC ratings. The STC rating measures how well a window blocks exterior noises. A generic double-pane window with 2.5-mil, single-strength glass has an STC range of around 28 to 31. The higher the STC number is, the better they are at blocking out exterior noise.

It’s almost a given that energy-efficient windows are great at blocking out sound. This is because the same air that carries noise is the same air that provides cool and warm air. Both of which can affect your home’s energy efficiency. Your window company would tell you that installing energy-efficient replacement windows can help you save on your monthly energy bills as well as making your home feel and sound peaceful.

Great Window Designs

Andersen® windows come with High-Performance™Low-E4® that feature special coatings that let light pass through while blocking ultraviolet (UV) and infrared rays. The Low-E coating protects your home’s interior from damage and blocks noise from entering while keeping your home energy-efficient all year long. However, it should be installed properly since air and sound leakage can occur from faulty weatherstripping installation.

Reviews

"Quality product, quality workmanship. Everyone I interacted with at Renewal by Andersen of SW Missouri had pride in their work from sales to financing to project oversight to installation. It must be a great company to work for because that shows in the professionalism of the staff. Best of all, they want happy customers and go out of their way to make sure that happens. Yes, I love my windows (but I knew I would--it's a great product). Friendly, helpful, easy financing, and yes--they pass costs on to the customer for this, but it meant that I was able to get the windows I wanted and needed for my creaky, lopsided old house. Couldn't be more pleased."

"The company representative who met with me initially was very direct, told me how the process would go, explained about why Anderson windows are of such good quality and how they stand by their products and their workmanship. My 3 windows arrived when they said they would, & the men who installed them were very professional, polite, & efficient. They showed me how the windows work and left the room as tidy as it was before they did the installation."

"We just had our windows done by Renewal. They kept us informed about the progress of manafucture & installed at the approximate date. Good qualtity & if you didn't know that there were screens on the windows you would think they were missing. Very clear view. Great in this hot weather, the house stays cool."
