Fibrex® Windows: Your Key to a Tranquil and Noise-Free Home

November 20, 2023

Your home should be a space to relax, unwind, and escape from the craziness of everyday life. If you think outside noise is making its way into your home through your windows, here are four tips to help!

Tip #1: Acoustic Curtains: A Stylish Shield Against Noise

Available in all kinds of sizes and colors, acoustic curtains do a great job of absorbing and blocking sound that could otherwise come through your window. Plus, they’re a great excuse for a little home decor refresh!

Tip #2: Sealant and Caulking: Filling the Sound Gaps

Sometimes, it’s just a small crack letting in those big decibels from your neighbor’s leaf blower. Some fresh sealant or caulking around your window can fill those gaps and crevices and help keep headaches at bay.

Tip #3: Heavy Drapes and Carpets: Softening Sound Reflections

Have you ever noticed how loud and echoey a home feels on move-in and move-out day? That’s because there are no furnishings to dampen sound reflections. Consider adding heavier drapes or more carpeting and rugs to help absorb and disperse those sound waves. 

Tip #4: Upgrade to Fibrex® Windows

Did you know Fibrex® windows usually rank around a 34 on the Sound Transmission Class scale?  The ratings range from 18 to 38; the higher the rating, the better! Not only do our Fibrex® windows provide a better seal against outside noise, but they are also more insulated and energy-efficient. And they’ll look beautiful in your home!

Replacing older windows with Fibrex® windows can work wonders in the soundproofing of your home. With advanced glass technology, custom sizing, and professional installation by the Renewal by Andersen team, you can rest easy knowing that you’ve got hard-working windows that fit your home like a glove.
