Using Cellular Blinds To Reduce Noise In Your Home

In this article, we explore how cellular blinds reduce noise by absorbing and blocking sound that typically travels through windows. If you’re looking to create a quieter, more peaceful home environment, cellular blinds are a practical and stylish solution.

Looking to reduce unwanted noise in your home? If you live on a busy street or near noisy neighbours, sound control is essential. In many suburban areas, homes are built close together, making it easier for noise to travel. Glass, especially in large windows and floor-to-ceiling panels, lets sound pass through more easily than most wall materials. By upgrading your window coverings to block this noise, you can create a quieter, more comfortable, and private living environment.

Can Blinds Help Reduce Noise?

The right window treatments can significantly reduce noise, and they’re a cost-effective solution too. To help you choose the best option, here’s a straightforward guide to the most effective blinds for sound reduction.

1.    Cellular Blinds

Cellular shades (also known as Duette Shades) are renowned for being the most efficient window covering on the Australian market. Their honeycomb shape makes them an excellent thermal insulator because the air inside the shade acts as another layer of insulation. However, savings on your power bill aren’t the only benefits of these amazing window treatments: the design that makes them so effective as a temperature regulator also works brilliantly to absorb sound!

Cellular shades are available in a huge range of colours and levels of opacity. There’s a blind to bring harmony and elegance to any room and enhance any design palette. And for that extra level of luxury and convenience, opt for the motorised version. With the touch of a button, you can adjust your blinds to enjoy maximum privacy and noise reduction!

2.    Roman Blinds

This traditional window treatment is another good choice when considering noise reduction. Of course, the type and thickness of the fabric used will greatly impact how much sound is blocked. Opt for a block-out or lined fabric for that extra level of sound absorption. Roman Blinds remain an all-time favourite: intensely practical, easy to maintain and suited to most interior decorating styles.

3.    Roller Blinds

This is probably the most budget-friendly method of adding a bit more soundproofing to your home. Roller Blinds are a great choice for situations such as rental properties where the homeowner doesn’t want to spend any more than necessary. Again, choose a heavy material with block-out properties to achieve the best results possible.
