Living in a quiet environment is essential for well-being and quality rest.
Fixtures with adequate sound insulation can significantly reduce unwanted external noise, making road traffic or neighbour noise less intrusive. Even more important, of course, becomes in urban contexts where traffic and human activities are particularly high and noise can have negative effects on well-being and health. Stress, sleep disorders and difficulty concentrating can become a rather serious problem.
Fixtures combined with special high-soundproof glass, they offer excellent acoustic protection and a solution to improve home life.
Investing in high-performance fixtures allows you to enjoy a quiet and relaxing atmosphere in your home, improving the overall quality of life, since doors and windows are the main points from which external noise enters our homes.
But how do you make a fixture more performant?
First of all, it’s a matter of materials. Wood, PVC and aluminum are all excellent insulation, as long as you choose to combine them with the right glass and quality gaskets. The structure of the window also has its importance of course: a double or triple glass, asymmetrical windows and gaps filled with inert gas are all improving features compared to a “normal” fixtures.
Glass, occupying the largest surface of a fixture, plays an essential role in protecting yourself from noise coming from outside. Their thickness, combined with acoustic films, influences acoustic performance. And also the type of fixing the glass to the structure is an element to take into account.
Another very important element is the gaskets. The high quality ones prevent noise from sneaking into the gaps between glass and door. Last but not least, it is the installation. The experience of the installer can really make a difference. A little experienced can nullify all choices on the quality of materials.
