One of the biggest functions that our windows is supposed to provide is for our home to be quiet. The world that we live in today is far different than it was even a decade ago. The lifestyle that we live in this day in age is one that is quite hectic most of the time. We are always on the move, trying to get our kids to school, get to work, make it to activities that we have signed up for, go grocery shopping, among other things. All of this activity creates noise in the world, noise that can trickle its way into your home.
Homes that have older windows are going to have a very difficult time with the world that we live in today. There is just so much noise on the outside and very few truly quiet neighborhoods that it does not take much for noise to just come right through the windows and disturb our peace. How can you keep your home peaceful then? One of the best ways to do that is to see a window replacement Jacksonville project. When we come in to replace your windows, we are going to be giving you an asset that is more than likely going to lead to a much quieter home.
How Noise Gets in the Home
Older home windows were made of just one pane of glass. This means that when the noise hit that single pane of glass it would pretty much pass right through it. Sure the noise would probably die down a bit from its original level, but there would not be too much diminishment that would take it away from a strength perspective.
Where New Windows Come Into Play
New window replacement Jacksonville comes into play from a noise perspective in the way that the windows have the ability to better block the noise than older windows did. When we work with you go through a window replacement Jacksonville project, we are going to set you up with windows that have multiple panes of glass, depending on your preference. This adds a whole new level of protection from the noise outside and guarantees that your home becomes that much quieter.
Outside noise will get trapped in-between the two panes of glass, where it is going to bounce back and forth between the two and really die down. Any noise that gets through that second pane of glass is probably going to sound extremely faint, if you can even hear it at all.
