Do you sometimes feel like you’re living in a drum? Barking dogs, the neighbor’s lawn mower at the crack of dawn, your teenager’s music shaking the floorboards, or even the loud discussion from the next office cubicle? Enough to drive anyone to desire a little peace and quiet.
You might feel your options are earplugs or a move to a desert island. What if, though, a sneaky sound-softener was lurking in your walls, or could be?
Surprise! It’s Insulation!
Yup, the same stuff you count on to keep your house warm in winter and cool in summer is a bit of a superhero when it comes to noise, too. We see it every day here at Pro Insulations – folks are thrilled about their energy bills, and then they say… “Hey, it’s quieter in here!”
How Does Fluff Stop a Racket?
Imagine sound as small waves that travel through the air and even through walls. When sound waves reach good-quality insulation, such as the type that we install, several things occur:
- It’s Like a Soft Blanket: Certain types of insulation are dense and fluffy. They soak up those sound waves, sort of like a soft blanket silencing a scream.
- It’s a Roadblock: Insulation takes up the open space in your walls and ceilings. That provides a greater difficulty for sound to simply zip right on through from one room to another, or from outside into your house.
It’s not magic, but it is ingenious! Various insulations all have different sound-dampening properties, but a lot of the popular ones are very good.
More Than Warmth: The Gift of Silence
Picture this:
- Your home office is really a place where you can concentrate.
- The nursery of the baby remains quiet even when the house is full of activity.
- You can talk in the living room without yelling across the way over the TV in the other room.
- At the office, productive meetings are not disrupted by external noise, and private discussions remain private. Isn’t that nice?
That’s the bonus that extra insulation provides. And, quite frankly, a quieter room just feels better. It’s more relaxing, less stressful.
Is Your Home or Office a Noise Magnet?
If you’re fed up with invasive noise piercing your space, it’s perhaps time to take inventory of your insulation. It’s not necessarily about temperature regulation; it’s about a quieter, cozier space.
Pro Insulations‘ staff is on hand to assist you in determining whether your existing insulation is keeping pace with the quiet factor or not, and whether an adjustment would turn down the volume of the outside world. We’re all about identifying the correct solutions to enable your space to function better for you.
So, if you’re wishing for a bit more “shhh” in your life, think of us. Improved insulation might be the easy solution you’ve been searching for. Peace and quiet? Yes, please!
