Reducing Noise with Renewal by Andersen® Windows
February 12, 2016Sometimes you just want to stay indoors and enjoy the peace and quiet. Then you hear that annoying noise coming from your neighbor’s lawnmower or their barking dog. Fortunately, you can rely on Renewal by Andersen® of Eastern NY to provide you with windows that can help reduce such noises.
What Are Noise-Reducing Windows?
When we conduct window replacement in Clifton Park, NY, our windows come with impact-resistant glass coupled with a PVB interlayer. This layer is thick and can help break down soundwaves coming from outside.
What Does STC Mean?
Noise-reducing windows have a Sound Transition Class or STC. This rating tells you how much sound a particular window can reduce. The higher the STC rating, the quieter your home will be. The STC of windows can range from 18 to 38, with each increase in point value signifying a window’s efficiency at reducing noise. We take pride in our 400 window series, which has a 34 STC rating. This will give you the chance to enjoy more quiet moments.
Other Benefits
We can install casement windows in Guilderland, NY that will ensure you a good night’s sleep. Even if you live in a busy neighborhood, you can be sure to enjoy more peaceful moments with our windows.
Apart from these benefits, the glass that our windows have can help make your home cozier. They can help reduce heat buildup in your home and keep you from relying too much on your HVAC units, leading to more energy savings. In addition, our window frames come in an array of colors, finishes, and hardware that will match your home’s style.
