Sound insulation of windows
Noise can significantly reduce life comfort and is often a cause of stress and irritability. Soundproof windows provide:

noise reduction solution.
Why is quality sound insulation of windows important?
Sound insulation of windows should not be neglected in new construction and renovation. The human ear is one of our most sensitive sensory organs and can hear the range of 16 to 16,000 Hz. Even in the phases of silence, human hearing is very active and sensitive. According to scientific findings, the upper limit of ambient noise for relaxed sleep is 25 dB. However, this value is difficult to achieve in our modern world without proper sound insulation, so much of the population today is uncomfortable with outside noise and feels upset. The English term “noise pollution” has long existed in Germany, and noise as a disturbing environmental impact on people is increasingly being discussed in public.
