The Information Age has gifted us some of the most striking and world-changing advancements ever experienced. They have changed the way that we engage with our world, how we communicate, and our access to media. But this constant connectivity has had its downsides, too.
The inability to disconnect from the world of media, from work, or from social circles, means we are almost always ‘on’, available and ready, operating at the whim of a ringing smart phone or flashing alert. We seldom relax, and we are almost never bored, or bereft of activity. Mentally, we almost never take breaks.
But these breaks are vital for our mental health, and controlled environments – like our own homes – must be capable of catering to them. This explains the noted rise in popularity seen among soundproof windows. The need for a more relaxed environment, one promoting calmness and solitude, is evidenced by the rise in installations around Australia.
Soundproof windows must be double-pane, featuring a vacuum gap between the panes. Installation is of great importance – a renowned installer, such as the experts at Weatherall Windows, can ensure that no gaps exist around the glass to allow sounds to percolate through the walls.
Not only will you find more mental clarity through your day, your refuge at home will become a better spot for producing noise – if you are a musician, or an aspiring one, you can be sure that your neighbours will not be sharing in your passion as they otherwise would.
You can do wonders for your mental health with some careful, mindful additions to your home, and soundproof windows are perhaps the best example of a sound investment for you and your family.
