Soundproofing is Essential When Big Construction Projects Escalate Neighborhood Noise To combat the noise from construction and increased traffic, soundproofing is required to preserve a quiet home/work environment and maintain property values. Soundproof Windows, Inc. has adapted recording studio window soundproofing for residential and commercial properties by creating a secondary soundproofing window that installs inside, behind the existing window. For developers as well as the owners of homes and commercial sites, the trend toward big construction projects can be not only a blessing, but also a curse – if exposure to greater levels of external noise is not effectively handled. Whether for airport expansion, stadium construction, or mixed-use property development, on big construction projects the noise from heavy equipment... Read More →

This article was featured on www.ccr-mag.com (http://www.ccr-mag.com/preserving-history-of-historical-buildings-windows/) Unique “soundproof” windows dramatically reduce outside noise and increase energy efficiency with a hands-off approach to the original windows “Windows are one of the most important and integral character-defining features of historic buildings,” states the D.C. Historic Preservation Review Board in its publication Window Repair and Replacement Preservation and Design Guidelines.  “They provide a sense of scale, craftsmanship, proportion and architectural styling.” As such, the primary objective of historic commissions and review boards, not to mention federal and local preservation statutes, is to ensure the existing windows remain intact whenever possible.  For this reason, repair is often recommended over replacement with more modern, double-paned windows that can quickly ruin a building’s character and charm. Repairing aging historic windows,... Read More →

This article was featured in HPB Magazine (http://www.ccr-mag.com/preserving-history-of-historical-buildings-windows/) For hotels and motels located near noisy streets, highways, train tracks, airports or urban city walks, keeping external noise from penetrating into what should be the quiet, peaceful sanctuary of the guest room might seem an impossible task.With the cacophony of loud sirens, traffic, construction, garbage and delivery trucks, aircraft, and nearby nightlife, guests are often inundated with unwanted noise until the early morning hours. Even a raucous swimming pool or other common area open late for guests can be a continual source of aggravation.Such noise can make it difficult for guests to sleep soundly, if at all, during the night or for needed daytime naps. For those conducting business in their hotel room or simply relaxing,... Read More →

RENO, Nev., October 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — The stress of constant noise is much more than an annoyance or a cause for a lack of sleep. It has been independently linked to an increased risk for cardiovascular disease in a German study of more than 4,000 individuals. Experts now see that noise pollution plays a significant role in increasing certain contributors to conditions like atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. To assess an individual’s risk for cardiovascular issues, researchers at the Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine used a measure of arterial hardening known as “thoracic aortic calcification” (TAC). When the data was complete, noise pollution was found to increase TAC scores by 8 percent. People who live near 24-hour businesses, like airports, truck stops,... Read More →

  In 1998, what started out as a desperate attempt to silence traffic noise turned into a crusade to bring peace and quiet to noise sufferers everywhere.   RENO, NV (PRWEB) December 16, 2008 — Ten years ago, Soundproof Windows Founder and President, Randy Brown, leased a house next to the 24 freeway in Lafayette, California. As he had just moved there from another state, he had no idea that it was one of the most heavily traveled commuter routes in the San Francisco Bay Area, but by that time, it was too late. “The noise was unbearable and I was unable to get out of the lease,” he said. Frustrated and sleep deprived, he spent countless hours of research and engineering to solve the... Read More →
