In today’s world, we value comfort and peace of mind more than ever. Noise can have a real impact on our well-being — not only affecting our mood on a daily basis but also our long-term health.
Acoustic insulation is one of the most important, yet often overlooked, parameters of a window. Models with enhanced soundproofing are an excellent solution for locations exposed to persistent noise. They are ideal not only in busy city centres or near main roads, but also in suburban and rural areas, where sounds such as lawnmowers, barking dogs, or nearby construction work can disrupt daily comfort.
Why acoustic performance matters?
The acoustic properties of a building depend largely on the materials used and the number of openings in its external partitions. The material of the windows and doors should harmonise with the building’s overall design — both aesthetically and functionally. That’s why acoustic insulation is a key consideration.
This property is measured using the Rw index, expressed in decibels (dB). The higher the value, the better the insulation. However, not all windows are tested or certified for sound reduction — so choosing a proven system is essential.
Aluminium systems – a smart way to reduce noise
For superior comfort, it’s best to choose aluminium window and door systems. They are designed with acoustic seals and soundproof glazing that significantly reduce external noise. The result is a comfortable, quiet, and peaceful home environment.
Such systems include both soundproof windows and soundproof doors, each engineered for optimal acoustic isolation.
Key acoustic features of aluminium systems
Aluminium joinery offers several performance advantages — including air permeability control and acoustic glazing options. Here’s why they matter:
Air permeability
Air leakage is one of the most important factors influencing sound insulation. When air escapes easily, overall acoustic performance drops. That’s why our aluminium systems are equipped with acoustic and central seals, which effectively improve airtightness and sound reduction.
Acoustic glazing
Our soundproof glazing uses asymmetric double panes, where the glass thickness differs on the inner and outer sides. This design not only eliminates thermal bridges, but also blocks sound waves more efficiently. For even greater performance, an inner laminated pane with PVB film can be added — enhancing both acoustic and safety parameters.
What makes Reynaers Aluminium systems stand out?
All our systems are made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant aluminium, ensuring durability and long-term acoustic stability. Even after many years, Reynaers systems maintain their excellent soundproofing performance.
If you live in a noisy urban area, external sounds can affect sleep, concentration, and overall well-being. That’s why it’s worth investing in our proven aluminium solutions — engineered for reliability, comfort, and long-lasting performance, even in the most challenging environments.
Plan acoustic comfort early
If you are at the planning stage of building your home, it’s important to choose systems that offer not only thermal efficiency and low energy use, but also effective sound insulation.
Our aluminium systems combine acoustic glazing, precision-engineered profiles, and specialised seals to deliver optimal comfort. They provide both noise protection and thermal insulation, allowing you to enjoy peace and energy efficiency in equal measure.
In addition, soundproof aluminium windows and doors look elegant and integrate perfectly with modern architectural styles — ensuring both performance and design excellence.
