HOW DO THEY WORK?

• The air gap that is created between the soundproof window insert and the existing window produces an insulated Sound TrapTM where sound waves are absorbed, reflected and cancelled. The result is a much lower volume of sound that makes it through the Sound TrapTM into the room. The air gap also reduces energy loss by 60% per window.
• The seal of our soundproof window inserts is very important because sound can act like water, seeping through openings. Our infiltration rate is less than .01 cfm/lineal foot, which far exceeds the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). Please note that "soundproof" drapes or curtains typically do not have a seal around them, hence allowing sound to enter the edges of drapes or curtains unabated.

PRICING & INSTALLATION

Pricing

Pricing depends on size, volume, existing window treatments, shape and installation. Residential Soundproof Window Inserts are usually between $22 and $58 per square foot, including installation and tax. For example, three 3'x6' inserts are approximately 25% less per insert than just one. Arched windows are about 15% more expensive than rectangular windows because they take much more time to cut and install.

Prices for Commercial Soundproof Window Inserts vary even more (both lower and higher). For example, window volumes and sizes are usually much higher than residential applications, reducing prices significantly. But, access to windows may be much more difficult, driving prices higher. Our hotel installations are a good example of this, i.e. many large windows, yet limited access to available rooms.

Installation and Timing

In most cases we can install your soundproof window inserts within two-three weeks of receiving your 50% down payment. They usually install in one to two days, depending on volume and accessibility.
