27 Feb Reduce unwanted noise in your home with Aluplast IDEAL 70 casement windows

If you want your home to be quieter, you need windows that can block out unwanted noise— windows like the Aluplast IDEAL 70 casement windows. These windows are made to reduce outside sounds so your home feels more peaceful and more comfortable. 

What makes these windows so good at stopping outside noise?

Multi-chambered profile: The Aluplast IDEAL 70 windows are made with a five-chamber PVCu profile. The window frame has five small air pockets inside, and these pockets create barriers that make it hard for sound to travel through the window frame. 

Noise-reducing glass: The glass in your window has a big impact on how much noise can get through. The Aluplast IDEAL 70 casement windows come with either double glazing (24mm or 28mm thick) or triple glazing (24mm or 28mm thick). Having more than a single layer of glass helps block more noise because each extra layer absorbs and reduces sound waves. 

Co-extruded gaskets: Even the best window glass will not be effective if the window has small gaps around the frame. This is why the Aluplast IDEAL 70 system uses co-extruded gaskets— these are rubber seals that fit tightly around the window frame. These gaskets stop air, dust, and noise from leaking through the small spaces around the edges of the window.

Internally glazed design for even better soundproofing: Most windows have their glass secured from the outside, but Aluplast IDEAL 70 casement windows use an internally glazed design, which means that the glass is secured inside the window frame. When sound hits an externally glazed window, vibrations can travel more easily through the glass. But with internal glazing, these vibrations are reduced, and this helps you keep your home quiet and relaxing.

How much noise can these windows actually block?

How much noise the Aluplast IDEAL 70 casement windows block depends on the type of glass you choose. For example, double-glazed windows reduce noise by 30-35 decibels (dB), whereas triple-glazed windows can reduce noise by 40-50 decibels (dB). 

To give you some perspective, a busy street is about 70 dB, while a normal conversation at home is about 50 dB. In other words, with Aluplast IDEAL 70 windows, most outdoor noise becomes barely noticeable inside your home.

Blocking outside noise is important for a comfortable home.

Loud noises from traffic or neighbours can wake you up at night, and this lack of sleep can make you feel tired, stressed, or even sick. With soundproof windows, your home becomes calm and peaceful, so you can sleep better and wake up feeling refreshed. A quieter home is also great for studying, working, or just relaxing after a long day.

On top of blocking noise, Aluplast IDEAL 70 windows are energy-efficient. The same multi-chamber profile and triple-glazing technology that keeps noise out also minimises heat loss, which can help you lower your monthly heating bills.
