Sound Barrier Windows
Houston City Life Can Be Noisy
Noise Reduction Windows
Neighborhood Noise Minimized
City life in Houston can be vibrant and exciting, but when it’s time to relax you don’t want to bring city noises into your home. Dogs barking late at night, weed eaters and lawn mowers early in the morning, saws and hammers from construction crews down the street, and the loud banging of garbage trucks emptying dumpsters, are all common complaints. Renaissance Windows and Doors offers noise reduction windows to block annoying sounds and give your home the peace and quiet you deserve. These special windows have an extra layer of glass, or added layers of a thick, bonded, invisible, laminate film, which acts as a sound barrier. Let the noise of train whistles, screeching tires, yappy dogs, construction saws, and leaf blowers stay outside where they belong.
Measuring Acoustic Performance
OITC Explained
Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class (OITC) measures sound levels of exterior sourced noises. Ratings of glass typically range from 29 to 34. Simply put, the higher the rating, the more sound is blocked. Reducing exterior sound can be achieved in monolithic glass by increasing the thickness of the glass. Insulated glass units can reduce noise by varying glass thickness, increasing the air space, evaluating different gas fills, spacers and sealants, or laminating the glass.
