Impact Windows Can Reduce Outside Noise — Here’s How

Discover the transformative benefits of impact windows beyond their well-known role in enhancing security and protecting against storm damage. At A1 Windows & Doors, we bring expertise in installing impact-resistant windows, particularly for Florida storm protection.

Here’s how impact windows effectively reduce outside noise while offering additional advantages for your home.

Impact Windows Can Block Out More Sound Than Standard Windows

The construction of impact-resistant windows makes them exceptional in noise reduction. With multiple panes, sturdy frames, and layers between the glass, these windows excel in eliminating noise pollution. The layered design absorbs sound vibrations, resulting in a quieter interior space compared to standard windows.

The high-density material breaks up sound waves and reduces the amount of noise pollution that can enter your home.

Each impact-resistant window comes with a sound transmission coefficient (STC) that measures the amount of sound the window can block. The higher the STC rating, the more sound will be kept out of your home.

While no window can completely block all sound, you can achieve a significant reduction by choosing a window with a high STC rating. With the right window, it’s possible to reduce noise pollution entering your home by 75% or more.

Enjoy Quieter Living in Your Home With Impact-Resistant Windows

Choosing impact-resistant windows offers a range of benefits that enhance your daily life, including:

• Improved privacy: Reduced outdoor noise ensures your indoor activities remain private.
• Better sleep: A quieter environment promotes restful sleep, which is vital for overall well-being.
• Enhanced focus: Quieter surroundings make it easier to concentrate, work, or study from home.
• Stress reduction: Lower noise levels contribute to a more peaceful and stress-free living space.

Beyond noise reduction, impact windows can lead to substantial long-term savings in several ways:

• Energy efficiency: Enjoy savings with energy-efficient windows and doors, with rebates offered by many utility companies for energy-efficient windows, which Florida building and energy code requires as a feature of your impact-resistant windows.
• Wind mitigation insurance credits: Replacing all glazed openings with impact windows and doors can lead to wind mitigation insurance credits of up to 30% of your wind load policy annually.
• Florida home-hardening sales tax exemption: Take advantage of this exemption in effect until June 30, 2024, for Florida impact-resistant windows and doors.
