RENO, NEV.—Loud exterior noise from traffic, train tracks, late night parties, and general urban living penetrates right through traditional windows and patio doors, making it difficult for hotel guests to relax and sleep. Left unaddressed, excess noise will negatively affect hotel bookings and cause unwanted reviews on social media. Negative guest feedback can compromise a hotel’s bottom line and are particularly important to avoid today as the hospitality industry strives to make up for the difficult pandemic years.

To resolve excessive noise issues quickly and cost effectively, Soundproof Windows, a national manufacturer of window and patio door soundproofing products, provides soundproof windows that can reduce external noise by up to 95 percent when installed in front of an existing window. Now, the company offers a test window program that allows hotel professionals to test out the windows by installing one or two before making a major purchase. The company even offers a 25 percent discount on the test windows.

The test program allows hotels a chance to experience the difference for themselves in a guestroom or two that face a problem area like a major street, freeway, or pool before deciding whether further installation is desired. The hotel’s existing windows are tested for external noise penetration and recommendations are made based on which windows need soundproofing the most.

Most External Noise Passes Through Windows

Research shows that most of the external noise passes through windows, not walls, and costly window replacement is not a viable solution. Traditional double pane replacement windows filter out only slightly more noise than single pane. The air space for both double pane windows does very little to retard the sound vibrations, and noise often enters through aging window seals.

In contrast, Soundproof Windows has created a “second window” that can be installed easily in front of the existing windows, designed to match, and function like the original window, no matter its design or whether it opens and closes.

Because no window replacement is required, the installation can take as little as one hour per window, which minimizes hotel disruption. A similar technique provides comparable benefits for sliding patio doors.
