Ottawa Condominium Window Soundproofing
Ottawa condominium window soundproofing have completed 8 Hawthorn ave Rosedale in Toronto. When the condo corp couldn't afford to replace the windows without raising the maintenance fees significantly we were called in the solve the problem and residents are now seeing a reduction in the energy bills of approximately 25% already.
How does noise travel through windows?
- Sound vibrates from the outside which conducts noise leading to increased internal noise.
- Leaky windows and poor seals will cause air infiltration between window joints.
To reduce sound infiltration a window system should have minimal air infiltration, possess an insulating air cavity and have enough weight to limit acoustic vibration.
Magnetite Canada’s Answer
Ottawa Condominium Window Soundproofing double glazing retrofit system is unique and is designed specifically as an interior and secondary system. We magnetically attach a virgin acrylic grade glazing panel to the interior of the existing window. This creates an airtight cavity between the window and the Magnetite system.
The air cavity acts as an insulation buffer against noise transference and seals air infiltration and drafts, which cause noise. Our product has been CSA tested to allow virtually zero air infiltration.
Eliminate outside noise by up to 70% through your existing windows.
