It seems every neighborhood has a barking dog. Or do you have rowdy neighbors, or heavy traffic on your street? There is an easy, inexpensive solution to lessen the noise in your home. There are many other added benefits as well such as light control, energy savings and pleasing decor. Also, honeycomb shade offer great UV protection.

If you are a light sleeper, they offer great noise reduction when the garbage pick-up starts at 5 AM, or the snow plow comes through during the night.

Honeycomb shades offer the best sound reduction as there are several fabrics choices that have multiple layers, blocking out most of the sound. Solid treatments such as Roller shades and Roman blinds offer greater sound block than slatted blinds such as Venetian or Vertical blinds, however, multi-layer treatment offer superior results. Another beautiful product is the SILHOUETTE shade. This product has the benefit of both privacy and view-through during the day.

Another thing to consider is indoor acoustics. Today’s home has less carpet, drapery treatments and fabric upholstery. These products absorb sound inside your home. The trend today is hardwood, granite, tile and leather. These can make you home seem noisy. Investing is good quality, multi-layer window treatment has so many benefits.
