Springtime is one of the best times of the year. During this season, gardens are full of life and everyone gets a boost in energy levels. The only downside to spring is that the season can get pretty noisy. Everyone tends to be busier because the weather is more suitable for outdoor activities, many of which can result in a lot of noise.
If spring noises are becoming too much to bear then it may be time for you to invest in add-on double glazing.
What Is Add-On Double Glazing?
Add-on double glazing is a type of window conversion that is specially developed to soundproof homes and offices. This type of window fitting is installed in addition to your current windows yet doesn’t impact the functionality or look of your windows. This type of soundproofing can reduce the noises you hear by up to 70 percent and is an ideal solution for anyone that is sensitive to noises.
Spring Noises Add-On Double Glazing Will Block Out
As with any type of soundproofing material, this type of glazing might not fully block out all the noises you hear coming from outside. But it will block out many annoying sounds and is sure to make a huge difference since it will reduce the noise intensity by 50 to 70%. Here is a quick look at sounds that are going to be much more bearable or entirely blocked out by this type of window fitting.
Leaf Blower Noises
Leaf blowers are commonly used during springtime as everyone will try to spring clean dust and leaves from their yards. These devices are super loud and can make it very difficult to focus on work or sleep. Leaf blowers have a noise level of 70 – 90 decibels which can be damaging to your hearing. With add-on glazing, these noises can be reduced to 49 – 63 decibels. Normal human conversations are only about 60 decibels which means that a loud leaf blower will sound about the same sound level as average human conversations.
Lawn Mower Noises
Lawn mowers run a lot more often during spring and summer times. At a 75 decibel sound level, they are not too loud but can be annoying. With soundproofing, this noise level will reduce to just 37.5 – 52.5 decibels which is much quieter than human speech and quite tolerable.
Traffic Noises
Traffic also becomes busier during springtime as people get busier with outdoor activities. The noise level of traffic is about 70 decibels if you live right next to a highway. This can be reduced to 35 – 49 decibels with add-on double glazing which means you will hardly hear the noises anymore.
Music or Party Noises
A lot more people enjoy late-night parties during the spring season since it is warmer outside. The noise level of parties can vary depending on the type of sound systems your neighbours might have. During these parties, people usually push their limits and create noise levels of up to 140 decibels which can make it impossible to get some shut-eye at night. With add-on double glazing, even the loudest of street party sounds will be reduced to 70 decibels or less. While these noises can still be annoying, your bad neighbours will be much more comfortable to live in.
Pressure Washer Noises
Commercial gas pressure washers produce sound levels of 85 decibels. These devices are commonly used during spring as people spring clean and freshen up their homes after the dusty winter. Even these loud machines will sound a lot more tolerable with double glazing because the sound will be reduced to the same level as average human speech.
