In the following blog we will look at how you can reduce noise with Ecoease Secondary Glazing.
Today over 80% of us live in urban areas in the UK. This provides convenience and good facilities but also lots of noise. Noises from traffic, shouting, dogs barking etc. can have a detrimental effect on your quality of life. Sounds like these can bombard the brain. The inability to switch off the noise can lead to hearing loss, anxiety and even cardiovascular problems. In fact One in five Europeans is regularly exposed to sound levels at night that could significantly damage health.*
You have a number of options for reducing the amount of sound coming through your windows. Firstly, you can do an excellent job with specialist sound-proofing glass. You can also add double glazing if your windows are single-glazed. Both of these include a gap between the panes which varies in size. The larger the gap you have, the more you will muffle the sound. However, both options are fairly pricey and require invasive work in your home.
Another option is Ecoease Secondary Glazing.
Ecoease fixes onto your existing window frame. It can provide quite a large gap between the existing glass and our PET glazing panel. This obviously depends on the design of your window. From single glazing, adding Ecoease can produce a 13dB reduction in noise. To the human ear this sounds like a halving of noise. Moreover, you won’t need any invasive work or any expensive fitters. You can put up your Ecoease glazing panels all by yourself, in minutes!
Ecoease is also more affordable, around 15% of the cost of double glazing or soundproofing glazing.
