If you live on a busy road, you know the frustration of noisy road sounds disrupting your time at home. It may feel like there is no solution, but there are actually ways to reduce the noise. In this blog post, we discuss how siding installation by an expert siding and roofing contractor can help with noise reduction.
The type of siding you choose can play a major role in how much sound it absorbs. Generally, the thicker and denser the material, the better it blocks noise. Vinyl and fiber cement are two popular materials for exterior replacement because they are both durable and effective when it comes to reducing noise from the outside.
Siding thickness matters in noise reduction. You’ll want to opt for a material that can be installed in thicker panels to efficiently absorb sound. Usually, these siding materials are also weather-resistant, which means they will stand up well against the elements. Furthermore, installing insulation behind the walls will also help absorb sound from outside sources.
In addition to getting new siding, there are other home improvements that can help reduce noise. Adding sound-absorbing materials, such as acoustic foam or insulation, to the walls and ceilings of your home can also be effective. In the same vein, installing weatherstripping around your windows and doors can minimize the noisy drafts in your home. You may also reduce outside noise by planting thick trees and shrubs, like broadleaved evergreens, close to your home.
