When it is time to look for replacement windows, many people make the switch to insulated windows to help with home heating and cooling costs.
Noise reduction
Those who upgrade from single-pane windows will notice an added bonus: peace and quiet. This is because the same layer of gas between panes that helps to regulate temperature also dampens and distorts sound waves. As a result, homeowners will notice a marked decrease in ambient outdoor noises.
Energy efficiency
Window companies can help consumers select an insulated window with an appropriate Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating. Most double-pane windows have STC ratings ranging from 28-32, while single-paned windows’ ratings hover around 18-20.
