How can you reduce noise in an office?
A question we are often asked is “How can you reduce noise in an office?” … and this question is posed by both those with home offices or those with offices in commercial settings.
We know, based on scientific evidence, that the most effective office sound insulation to reduce noise through existing glass windows & doors for soundproofing offices is via secondary double glazing and it is also far more cost effective, or simply put … it’s much, much cheaper than installing traditional double glazing.
How to soundproof my office?
Firstly, if you are asking this question we could safely assume that you have an existing office that is already fitted with glass windows &/or doors & you want to soundproof an office space or are interested in soundproofing commercial spaces.
Office Sound Insulation
So, it may be that there are noisy roads near the existing external facing windows or some other source of disruptive noise such as others nearby in the office space or maybe there’s even nearby construction going on.
Sound Proofing for Offices
Alternatively, you may have a need to keep sound in or contained in a particular glass enclosed space, for say a conference room where confidential meetings are taking place. Or you may want to keep noise out of a glass enclosed space so you can conduct meetings or day to day business in a more conducive environment.
So … how is our solution of retrofiting double glazing, superior to your other alternatives for office sound insulation, office soundproofing or office noise reduction?
Let us count the ways!
Benefits of secondary double glazing for office soundproofing
- Retrofitted double glazing can be applied to literally any existing windows &/or glass doors.
When we install retrofitted secondary double glazing, we install completely new secondary windows (or doors) on the inside of your existing windows. This means that our soundproffing solution be applied to most rental, strata title & heritage listed buildings as we make no changes to he existing windows or external facade of the building. - It’s cheaper than traditional double glazing.
Because our soundproofing solution requires us to manufacture and supply a window (or door) with only one pane of glass, it is typically 40% cheaper than traditional double glazing, where a new window (or door) with two panes of glass is supplied and installed. - It’s gives better soundproofing for your office.
The science proves this. If you read the Sound Test Results information, you will see that our Secondary Double Glazed Windows provide a Sound Reduction Index of 45dB (45 decibels). And you can also hear the difference if you watch & listen to the video. - You will save on heating & cooling costs.
Our secondary double glazing provies better thermal insulation than traditional double glazing or other solutions such as window film or UPVC glass. Again, the science proves it.
You will see on the Save Energy Costs page, the “U value” rating of our secondary double glazed windows is around half that of traditional double glazing, which means our retrofitted double glazed windows are far more energy efficient. - Quicker & less disruptive to install.
Its really quite obvious that our process of installing a new interior window will be far less disruptive & much quicker that having to completely remove the existing windows & replace them with new double glazed windows. You can watch our videos to see for yourself just how simple the installation proces is and how we can manage to install new secondary double glazing in typically less than one hour per window &/or door.
