At
Duramade Windows & Doors, we often are asked
whether or not new house windows will help reduce
the sounds of outside noises seeping into a
home. Whether you are a homeowner from a quiet
community near Clearwater or Melbourne, or you
live close to a large city like Tampa or Orlando,
it is understandable that you would want to
soften outdoor noises like sirens, traffic,
lawnmowers, neighborhood gatherings, and so
on.
The answer is that house windows
of any age will reduce inside noise to some
degree, but modern windows are better at muffling
noise than ones made 20 or 30 years ago. A good
example of recent vinyl
window technology that provides exceptional
noise reduction is Gorell house windows with
Armor Glass Plus. This insulating glass system
provides up to a 100 percent improvement in
sound reduction over other glass types such
as single pane and even double pane glass.
Duramade is happy to offer
replacement
windows featuring Gorell’s Armor Glass Plus
system. This glass system is made up of three
panes of glass, two of which are sandwiched
together with an interlayer of polyvinyl butyral.
Not only does this unique glass system give
our house windows incredible sound control abilities,
but it also protects your home from intruders,
energy loss, solar radiation, and hurricane
damage.

house windows can shield your home from excessive
outdoor noise in Lakeland, Jacksonville, West
Palm Beach, Ft Myers, and thousands of other
Florida locations, please call
