Sound Control Series
Keep the Quiet Inside
When it comes to sound control in our home or business, there are very few things we can do to control the outside noise, but there are some solutions when it comes to controlling the noise that filters in. Because windows are the least insulated components in our structures, they are the best place to start. Soundproofing windows are one option, but like triple-pane windows they are a very expensive investment for the amount of additional benefit that they give. Another option to make your windows more soundproof is Magnetite’s sound control acrylic panels.
