Sound insulation and noise protection with new PVC-U windows

For many people, their own four walls are a place of refuge to enjoy peace and relaxation and to recharge their batteries. In today’s times of increasing noise levels, this is a major problem. Especially in conurbations, along thoroughfares, or near airports and railway stations, noise levels are generally particularly high. Yet also if you are not living in a so called noise abatement area, sustained noise pollution can cause illness. Frequent symptoms of persistent, unhealthy noise are cardiovascular and nervous disease, as well as poor concentration.

For example, a maximum level of 20 dB (decibels) is recommended for the bedroom. This, however, can be found in only few homes. Windows are the ideal approach to counteracting this tendency. When fitted with the right glazing, window profiles can be assigned to different sound transmission class and even combined for greater effectiveness. Especially functional glazing exhibits a high efficiency and returns peace and quiet to your own four walls. Everyday noise is therefore banned specifically from your home.
The perfect sound insulation begins with the right choice of a specialised company. Not only the right choice of window, also its installation makes a key contribution to the final result. KBE window systems offer optimal solutions to virtually all sound insulation requirements, helping you to live in a home of peace and quiet.
