No matter where you live, your home should be your peaceful, calming, safe haven. But if you’re beset by noise, that relaxing retreat is just a dream. At Treasure Coast Window Fashions serving Jupiter, Florida, we know that anything noisy—from construction to street noise to barking dogs and more—can reduce from the calm you might otherwise have indoors. So we’d like to offer a few tips on how to soundproof your home, so that you might get even a little bit closer to that peaceful haven you deserve. Check them out below!
Internal and External Changes
Inside your home, you can replace any hollow doors with solid-core ones, which are better at blocking noise. If you have gaps around doorframes, use weatherstripping to fill the, and use a door sweep to prevent sound leaking. If you want to absorb sound instead of just block it, consider acoustic panels or fabric wall hangings. Alternatively, you can go a heavier-duty route by doubling up your drywall. Using underlayment like cork, rubber, or foam under your flooring can help reduce vibrations, and if you add acoustic tiles to the ceiling, you can reduce noise from upper floors.
Using Window Treatments
Because a lot of the unwanted sound can be coming through your windows, a good plan is to use your window treatments as another buffer. Because they’re right there against the glass, all window treatments will block noise to some degree, and a few of them will actively absorb sound. For example, Providence® Woven Wood Shades and Vignette® Modern Roman Shades can absorb sound while also providing great aesthetics, sophistication, and timeless appeal. Honeycomb-style shades, like Duette® Cellular Shades and Sonnette® Cellular Shades, are designed to insulate the windows, which makes them excellent at absorbing and deflecting sound. If you have a slider or a wall of windows, consider our Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds, which are sleek, gliding panels perfect for tall or wide windows.. If any of these sounds like it can help your situation, contact one of our consultants today!
