Shades for Better Noise Levels
At Blinds & Designs serving Marin County, making a home into a perfect relaxing haven means being able to control light and privacy—and to put a damper on unwelcome noise. Whether it’s from construction, a street traffic, or insensitive neighbors, noise can impact how comfortable you are in your own home. Luckily, window treatments can play a role in all of those goals, even reducing noise. If you’re looking for a noise-dampening solution, check out some ideas below, and be sure to speak with one of our specialists for more.
How to Reduce Noise
All window fashions act as buffers at the window, and they can deflect or absorb sound, helping any room seem quieter. Some treatments are better at it than others, in part because of design and in part because of the materials they’re made of. For example:
- Insulating Treatments. Duette Cellular Shades will meet numerous needs and goals, including helping to insulate a room—their honeycomb design traps air at the window, keeping outside air out and inside air in. Those same properties help it absorb noise. In fact, Duette® Honeycomb Shades can absorb up to 70% of sound energy, helping create a tranquil, serene space.
- The Roman Shade. A traditional window treatment that brings elegance, style, and a classic look to a room, Roman Shades absorb and dampen sound while heightening the aesthetics of the space. They are available in numerous fabrics, colors, and opacities, so you’ll be able to match your décor effortlessly. One Hunter Douglas option is the Vignette® Modern Roman Shade, which comes in a variety of fold styles, from soft and full to crisp and flat.
- Layers of Treatments. Laying window treatments can also help reduce noise levels. If you pair drapery or side panels with your blinds or shades, you can add both a new, more glamorous look and a certain amount of sound reduction. Plus, this style will add depth and dimension to your space, making it more dynamic and eye-catching.
