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.

"After years of watching the wind move my drapes and hours of difficult cleaning, I decided to get new windows. I went with Renewal by Andersen because of the great reviews and quality. From Brent who did the consult, Gideon who did the measuring, to Jason, Josh, and I apologize I can't remember the third installers name, this is the most professional company I've ever worked with. I own a 1994 double wide mobile home, so everything in this place is hard to work with. I had a bay window, 6 double hung, 2 awning, and a front door replaced.. They said it would take 2 days and they were done on time! I did have second thoughts about doing this mainly because of the cost, but once it was done, I was very happy I did this."
