When striving to reduce noise infiltration you must be aware of what is needed to confront the problem in the most effective and productive manner. An increase in STC from 28 to 38 equates to a 90% reduction in noise. The following approach has successfully made Inside Mounted “Climatizer” Insulating Soundproof Windows the best window for noise reduction, for over 30 years.

DISRUPT ACOUSTICAL TRANSMISSION and OPPRESS AMPLIFICATION. NOISE SUPPRESSION FORMULA

• Internal Target
  The first step is to address the problem where it affects you the most, and where you’ll achieve the ultimate noise reducing results; Inside the structure.

• Create Interior Buffer Zone

  To disrupt acoustical flow “Climatizers” are installed on the inside of the home from approximately one inch to flush wall mount from your existing window frames. This second partition creates an air shield of 2 to 5 inches between glass panes. This noise buffer zone divider is responsible for the sound barrier required to help mute down harsh exterior noise pollution.The wider the air space the better acoustical control.

• Control Sound Wave Vibration
  Unlike regular windows where the glass is glued to the frame, the “Climatizer” window glass is encased half an inch into the window sash and cushioned with its own special sealing gasket to prevent movement and control sound wave vibration.

• Break Up Harmony Flow
  Another important key to window soundproofing treatment is the use of different gauge glass in the “Climatizer” window barrier. This discourages acoustical harmony flow, which enhances the benefits of the interior noise buffer zone.

• Non Amplifying Framing
  The use of non amplifying materials is crucial in noise control. Unlike standard window frames that amplify noise, “Climatizers” actually absorb sound instead of intensifying it, thus providing another intricate piece in the noise suppression puzzle.

Noise and Your Health

  A recent study shows that continual exposure to noise even at low levels can create health repercussions because noise is a psychosocial stressor that activates the sympathetic and endocrine systems. Constant unyielding exterior noise can trigger enough stress in humans to elevate blood pressure and cause muscles to contract. Persistent stress can lead to chronic hypertension, insomnia, indigestion and ulcers. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports; “The idea that people get used to noise is a myth. Even when we think we have become accustomed to noise, biological changes still take place inside us”.

The Double Pane Window Myth

One of the things that surprise people is that more than 2/3 of our business comes from homes that already have double pane windows and that some homes are but a few months old. The biggest myth is that you have to replace your windows to solve a window related acoustical problem. We have proven that wrong for over 30 years. Unless your windows are falling apart, why replace them? All you have to do is make your current windows more thermally efficient and acoustically sound!

The Extra Benefit

It turns out that improved sound control tends to impart an extra benefit, as the features also reduce thermal conductivity and air infiltration, this creates an improved energy efficiency invironment, thus reflected in lower monthly utility bills.  See Press Release
