Is it necessary to replace all the windows in the new building? How much is a soundproof window?

Many owners are dissatisfied with the windows of the original building and want to change them after the new building is closed. I can understand this feeling too well, because my new house is the same. At first, I also wanted to change the windows. So it is necessary for the new building to replace all its windows?

If you are rich and willful, you can change all of them, but you should be mentally prepared, because changing windows may bring some hidden dangers. In addition, don't think that insulating glass is sound-proof. Today, Niteden will share my experience and experience in windows, hoping to bring some help to everyone!

Tell me about my failure to install soundproof windows. 1. Sources of indoor noise.

For cities, the main noise sources are traffic noise, the sound of automobile engines and exhaust pipes, the sound of automobile horns, wind resistance, braking, speed bumps and so on. Its low-frequency noise can easily penetrate the glass of the original building.

2. Is the insulated glass window soundproof?

Many people think that insulating glass should be sound-proof. Even if three layers of insulating glass were made, many people found that the sound insulation effect did not reach the expected value. The biggest reason is that insulating glass should not be chosen.

I was cheated last year and all I said was tears. My new house is not going to be decorated. One is that I have no money, and the other is that I still have an old house to live in. But last year, I closed the window of the hanging garden bedroom, mainly because I was thinking about the decoration of my neighbor downstairs, and I was afraid that rain would seep into his house, so I closed the window of the hanging garden bedroom.

At the beginning, I naively thought that there was a vacuum in the middle of sound insulation glass, and the sound insulation effect must be good. It happened that the community was buying windows, so I paid for a window to test the water. The result is very disappointing, the sound insulation effect is there, but the road noise is still obvious. Fortunately, I only made a bedroom window, but I haven't made a window for the garden and balcony yet. When decorating in the future, see if the bedroom with sealed windows is going to be smashed and redone. hey ...

3. What glass window has good sound insulation?

At the beginning of July this year, I spent two days writing an article about window sound insulation, looking up a lot of information, reading the comments of many netizens who installed windows, and consulting a friend who made doors and windows in other places. The conclusion is that insulating glass is mainly used for heat insulation, and the sound insulation effect is not very good. The best sound insulation effect is laminated glass.

Suggestion: Sound insulation for windows is required. You can choose a three-layer laminated glass window, or even consider making hollow+laminated glass. Sound and heat insulation effect will be better.

4. How much is a soundproof window?

As mentioned above, laminated glass windows have the best sound insulation effect. Also inquired about the broken bridge aluminum three-layer laminated glass window, basically in the range of 800~ 1500/㎡. It depends on what you do. Glass thickness and profile selection will affect the price, and the price in each place is slightly different.

Is it necessary to replace all the windows in the new building? Newly built residential high-rise building, the windows of the original building are built according to national standards, involving four grades of glass water tightness, air tightness, wind pressure resistance and thermal conductivity. Safety is generally guaranteed, and it is generally not recommended to replace the original building windows.

What are the possible consequences of changing your own window? 1. Changing windows may cause water seepage.

When you take over the building, you will find that the windows of the original building are embedded in the concrete wall. It takes a lot of effort to remove the original window, but the key is to destroy the cement structure layer around the window. If the newly made window is not handled properly, it is likely to cause water seepage in the window. It is generally not recommended to replace the window that comes with it.

2. Changing windows may lead to security risks.

If you have consulted the owners who make windows, you will definitely find that there are many quotation schemes, such as aluminum thickness, glass thickness and technology, which will affect the price, ranging from 400 to 1500 (more than 400 are ordinary windows instead of broken bridge aluminum), but for laymen, it is the easiest to get lost. Finally, in order to save money, perhaps the windows made are not as good as the original buildings.

Reminder: At present, most doors and windows on the market are made by profile processing shops, and their tempered glass is customized by the glass factory, and finally delivered to the door by the door manufacturer for installation.

3. Be sure to talk with the door and window company about the installation safety responsibility.

Be sure to talk to the door and window company about the responsibility of installation safety. If the installation process causes casualties such as falling from high altitude, the owner cannot bear joint liability. Such falls happen from time to time, because someone has an accident around him. Do you want to ask the door and window company to buy insurance for the installer?

Under what circumstances do I need to replace the window? 1, the original self-contained window design is unreasonable.

My new house is like this, with both sides open and a large piece of glass in the middle, which greatly reduces the ventilation effect. The most dissatisfied thing when closing the house is the window below, and the layout of the window also makes it impossible to do cabinets on both sides. If you make a cabinet, the ventilation effect will be even worse, so I always want to replace it. I haven't decorated it yet, but after careful consideration, I decided not to change this window when I decorate it.

2. The original self-contained window is a plastic steel window.

Generally speaking, plastic steel windows are not used in high-rise residential areas, but they may be used in some areas. A few days ago, some netizens asked about changing windows in the comment area. His home is a plastic window. Why do plastic steel windows need to be replaced?

Plastic steel window is a window type actively promoted by the state in the mid-1990s. However, as the building gets higher and higher, its shortcomings become more and more obvious. The service life of plastic steel window is limited, the fire resistance is slightly poor, and toxic substances are discharged when burning. The popularity of the new broken bridge aluminum material has obvious performance advantages, so there are few plastic steel windows in the community now. If the home is a plastic-steel window, it is recommended to replace it, or it can be replaced once every few years. It is not recommended to take too long.

3. There is no room to seal the window.

For example, in my new house, there are four windows to be sealed. Considering the size of the head, the 3.3-meter-long window of the entrance should be sealed, and the balcony of the living room and the balcony of the living room should be sealed. The sealed bedroom may be smashed and sealed again. It pains me to think that it costs tens of thousands of dollars to seal the window.

Maybe you will wonder, isn't there a window in the bedroom? My bedroom in the Hanging Garden has no windows, because the developer is playing in the Hanging Garden. Just like the garden at home, there are no windows, so you need to seal the windows yourself. The advantage is that this space gives half the area.

Conclusion Is it necessary to replace all the windows in the new building? My personal suggestion is not to change if you can. If it is necessary to replace the sound insulation window because of noise, choose three-layer laminated glass window or insulating glass+laminated glass window, and the sound insulation effect will be better.
