What factors affect the level of noise protection?

To make the right choice when ordering plastic windows, it is better to get to know everything about such an important characteristic as soundproofing. From what factors it really depends on? 

1) The level of noise insulation depends on the magnitude of the distance between the glasses. The thicker the glass, the better noise protection it can provide. 

2)If you chose triple-pane windows, pay attention to the distance between the glassrs. Different distance between the glasses will not allow the resonant frequencies to match up and add up.

3) Thickness of the glass. The thicker the glass, the higher level of noise protection it can provide for you. In addition, if glass of a different thickness, it will also increase the level of noise reduction.

4) Quality installation is especially important for soundproof windows. Any cracks and gaps between the wall and the plastic profile have a negative impact on the level of sound proofing and can negate the insulating properties of even high-quality window construction.

Don't forget about the glazed balcony, if you want to minimize street noise. And most importantly, remember that when choosing glass it is not necessary to choose the highest possible characteristics. Your choice should be an optimal ratio of price and quality.
