Enhancing Your Home’s Aesthetic with Acoustic Windows

In the present times, when peace and quiet are a luxury, controlling unimportant noises becomes crucial. If you live in a busy city with busy roads and your neighbourhood is lively, challenges like noise pollution are very common. This dramatically affects the quality of your life. That is why it becomes important to use effective noise management strategies that help improve your comfort and well-being indoors. Eternia’s acoustic windows are here for your rescue and are explicitly designed to reduce noise and create a quieter living space.

At Eternia by Hindalco, a brand of the Aditya Birla Group, we understand that the right window solution can make all the difference in ensuring tranquillity within your home. This comprehensive guide helps you choose the perfect acoustic window by understanding what it is, how it works, and the key factors you should consider.

What is an Acoustic Window?

An acoustic window combines materials and technology to allow the minimum amount of sound from a room to pass inside or for sound to escape. Such windows are suitable in situations with noise restrictions, such as bedrooms and home offices or even office buildings within highly urbanised regions. An acoustic window becomes such when an air space lies between two sheets of glass within the sash fitting. This space serves as insulation against sound. If standard windows are used with laminated glass, noise transmission levels drop profoundly. These windows are sealed to create a large flat pressure seal around the window to minimise sound escaping from the edges of the window.

Key Considerations When Choosing the Right Acoustic Window

Several factors should guide your decision-making process when selecting the ideal acoustic window for your home or office. Below are the top aspects to consider:

1. Glass Type and Configuration

   The type of glass and the configuration of your acoustic window play a significant role in its soundproofing capabilities. The two most common types of glass used for soundproofing are:

   • Laminated Glass
     This glass consists of two or more layers of glass with a special acoustic interlayer between them. The interlayer absorbs sound vibrations, significantly reducing noise transmission.
   • Double or Triple Glazing
     Double glazing consists of two panes of glass with an air gap between them, while triple glazing adds a third layer. The air gap in between helps to reduce sound transmission. The wider the gap between the panes, the better the soundproofing effect.

   We offer both the options making our windows the perfect acoustic windows.

2. Frame Material

   The material of the window frame also impacts soundproofing performance. Lightweight and durable, aluminium frames are popular for luxury acoustic windows. Our modern aluminium foldable windows and doors are designed with advanced sealing technology to enhance soundproofing further.

3. Window Sealing and Gaskets

   The seals and gaskets around your acoustic window are critical to its noise-blocking ability. Gaps or weak seals can allow sound to pass through, making the windowless effective at reducing noise. Eternia uses high-quality gaskets and fin-based woolpiles. This prevents sound from entering or escaping around the edges.

4. Installation Quality

   Even the best acoustic windows won’t perform well if installed incorrectly. The installation must ensure a proper fit, tight seals, and alignment. Poor installation can lead to gaps, air leaks, and reduced performance. Therefore, we have properly trained professionals to guarantee your acoustic window’s longevity and effectiveness. Experienced installers ensure your windows are correctly sealed and aligned for maximum noise reduction.

Maintenance Tips for Acoustic Windows

Once you’ve chosen and installed the perfect acoustic window, regular maintenance will help ensure it performs at its best. We also provide post-installation assistance as an extended service. All our products come with a 12-year and 5-year warranty on profiles and moving hardware, respectively. Apart from professional help, you must keep in mind the following point:

• You must keep the glass and frame clean.
• Use a soft cloth which is damp to avoid damaging the glass or seals.
• Keep checking the seals around the window for wear and year, periodically.
• Regularly lubricate the moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
