We've all been there–right as you're about to settle in for a meeting, unwind with a book, or turn in for the night, you hear neighborhood kids shouting on the block, cars rumbling by, or neighbors enjoying a late-night cocktail on their porch. While a bit of noise here and there doesn't cause too much disruption, it can get bothersome if it’s happening regularly.
Instead of vowing you’re moving to an entirely new neighborhood, there are simpler ways to enjoy peace and quiet. The key? Sound-absorbing window treatments from Stamper’s Blinds Gallery.
The Truth About Window Treatments and Sound
So, are window treatments any good at blocking noise? The answer is that it depends on the materials you choose. For example, a sheer shade may provide lovely lighting, but it won't do much to block out outside noise.
On the flip side, window treatments with heavier, thicker materials help absorb outside sound and can even improve your home's indoor acoustics. These styles include drapery, shutters, Roman shades, and layered window treatments. By selecting these styles, you will notice a reduction of outside noise and echoes that carry inside your home.
