In today’s fast-paced world, peace and quiet have become a luxury—especially in cities and high-traffic areas. Whether you’re at home or in the office, the constant noise of honking horns, construction work, or loud neighbours can quickly become a source of stress. This is where high-performance aluminium windows come into play. At GREFET, we often get asked: “Can aluminium windows reduce outside noise?” The answer is a confident yes—when designed and installed properly.
Understanding the Role of Aluminium in Sound Insulation
While aluminium as a material is not inherently soundproof, it serves as a strong and durable frame for acoustic glass units. The real power of noise reduction in aluminium windows lies in the combination of glazing, sealing, and engineering.
1. Acoustic Glazing Options
The first line of defense against noise is the glass. At GREFET, we offer double-glazed and triple-glazed glass units, which trap sound waves between layers. For even better performance, laminated acoustic glass can be used. This special glass contains a noise-dampening interlayer that significantly reduces mid- to high-frequency sounds.
2. Sealing and Installation
No matter how good the glass is, if your window frames aren’t sealed properly, sound will find a way in. GREFET aluminium windows feature multi-chamber profiles and high-performance seals to eliminate gaps and block sound transmission. A professionally installed system ensures the airtightness required for optimal acoustic insulation.
3. Thermal Break Technology
Many of GREFET’s aluminium window systems include thermal breaks—a feature that not only improves energy efficiency but also enhances sound insulation. By interrupting the pathway for sound vibrations, thermal breaks help in creating a quieter indoor environment.
4. Customization Based on Environment
Whether you’re living near a busy highway, running a business on a crowded street, or designing a high-rise apartment complex, we can tailor your aluminium windows to your acoustic requirements. Our team helps you choose the right glass thickness, glazing configuration, and seal quality to match your environment.
