Impact Resistant Products and Noise Reduction

People are often surprised when one of the more overlooked benefits of impact products, noise reduction, occurs. Suddenly their house is quieter.

Sound is transmitted through a home’s feeblest points, the windows and doors. Even if you have strong walls, a weak window will almost completely prevent any noise reduction the walls would have provided. The combination of laminated glass and low air infiltration of impact products greatly increases their STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating. For instance, WinDoor products have a STC range up to 54.

Impact Resistant products can provide up to 32% noise reduction for aircraft, railroad and vehicular traffic noise versus a dual pane window.

Impact products will not only help you sleep at night by protecting you from storms, but also because they will provide less distraction from the outside world. Give us a call or request an estimate to get started.
