4 Benefits of Using Acrylic Sheets to Soundproof Your Windows
Posted on: 30 April 2020
If you live by a busy road, you are probably sick of listening to the sounds of passing vehicles all day long. Likewise, if you live in a noisy area or near a new construction site, you'll likely be in sore need of some peace and quiet. One very simple way to block out at least some of the noise from outside is by placing acrylic sheets over your glass windows.
And as well as providing your windows with an extra layer of soundproofing, acrylic sheets also offer several other useful benefits.
1. Various Thicknesses
One of the best things about acrylic sheets is that you have more options when it comes to thickness. This means that if your road sees many motorcycles roaring up and down it each day, you can order an acrylic sheet of 10mm or more to provide sufficient soundproofing.
2. Lightweight and Easy to Move
No matter how thick your acrylic sheet is, you won't have to worry about it being too heavy for you to move around. Unlike glass, which can be very heavy, not to mention dangerous if it breaks, acrylic is light and it doesn't shatter if accidentally dropped.
This means that you can place and remove your acrylic sheets easily, without worrying about dropping them and breaking them in the process. If, for instance, the street suddenly fills with the noise of passing cars on a quiet Sunday when you are trying to nap, you can easily grab your acrylic sheets and place them over your windows to dead the noise.
3. Easy to Customize
Your acrylic sheets don't have to be plain and boring either. You can ask your acrylic sheet manufacturer to create whatever design you wish. Acrylic is easy to customize and cut, so if you decide that you'd like to go for the church window effect and place colourful acrylic sheets over your windows, you can.
4. Tough to Break
Finally, you'll also benefit from the additional layer of security that acrylic sheets will provide your home. Acrylic doesn't shatter like glass. And acrylic can take a lot of punishment before it breaks. This means that your windows will have an additional layer of security that will slow a would-be burglar down and perhaps put them off.
Are you tired of the noise pollution that finds its way into your home every day? Then consider placing acrylic sheets over your glass windows.
