Sound insulation is one of the most important characteristics when choosing frames, especially when it comes to homes located in urban environments with high noise pollution.

According to surveys conducted among urban residents over the last decade, noise pollution is the main factor that negatively affects daily living. Therefore, the acoustic comfort is now considered a number one priority for the modern person who wants to live in places that protect him from external noise.

How can we be sure that the frames we choose for our home offer effective sound reduction?

Before we make the big decision, we make sure that we make the right questions that will lead us to the right answers, determining our choice: 

  • What waterproofing materials are used in the aluminium system we are interested in?
  • Are sound-reducing membranesused on the glass panel of the system?
  • The thickness of the glass pane is tailored to our needs?
  • Does the aluminium system we choose offers certified performanceof soundproofing?

In addition to the answers to the above questions, it is equally important to work with a reliable fabricator of aluminium windows, which knows and applies good installation practices and sealing techniques, so that our windows seal hermetically, maximizing their soundproofing capabilities. 

Finally, it is particularly useful to see in practice the performance of the frame we are interested in. By visiting our showrooms in Athens and Thessaloniki, you can get a taste of the advanced soundproofing chamber we have, experiencing the difference of living in a space completely protected from external noise with certified performance frames.
