Soundproof Window Panel

1) Nick : Have a window that is 74" in width about 50" in Height. What do you recommend? Cordially, Nick

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Nick, We would recommend a Window Panel 78" x 54". If you would like a price for that please email our sales dept. sales@tmsoundproofing.com

2) John: Does the velcro strip around the window come in white as well as black?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Yes. That can be requested in the customer notes box when checking out or by giving us a call. Thanks.

3) jeff: How should I measure for a sill that juts out from the window at the base?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Jeff, Add a few inches to the length to allow you to go over the ledge and attach it below the ledge.

4) Diane L: I will be calling tomorrow to place an order. I have two questions- 1. Is the window panel as easy to apply as it looks? 2. I live in Canada and my order is under 1000 dollars. What can I do to convince you to mail my window cover to Montreal, Canada! Of course I'm willing to pay Fedex/UPS charges.

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Diane. Yes it is as easy as it looks, however it is heavy at 1.2 pounds per sf, so it will depend on the size you are ordering. Please send an email to sales@tmsoundproofing.com with your address and order details and we will try to help you. Thank You

5) Lisa T: Hello, I'm interested in this product to block out dog barking, lawn mower noise, etc...I am trying to decide between your product and this one: How do you compare and what is your return policy if your product does not work? Thanks, Lisa

Trademark Soundproofing Reply:

Hi Lisa, Our window curtain is made from the highest quality commercial grade material and works great we have sold it as window and door blocking and have many repeat customers. Every order is custom cut to size therefore they are not returnable. We cannot comment on the other curtain you mention, you can read their customer reviews online here.

Keep in mind that the window is a weak link in sound control, however you can have noise coming through your walls and ceiling too.

6) Mike Swift: What is the sound attenuation in db?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Mike around 27.

7) Lorraine M: Hi - Does this do a good job blocking noise from fireworks?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Lorraine, yes it should help cut down a lot on that type of sound coming through your window.

8) Vern L: Are the soundproof window panels equally effective at reducing the sound traveling out from within a room?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Vern, Effective equally going both ways. Thank you.

9) Robert K: I live on a bluff about 40 feet above and 75 feet away from a busy street. The traffic noise especially the high frequency whining from motorcycles and skooters, and the low frequency noise from big trucks rumbling up and down the hill keeps me up at night. I already have quality double pane, laminated windows, so what percentage sound reduction can I expect? 10%? 25%? 50%? Please give me a honest answer. If you prefer let me know how many decibels of reduction I can expect. I get about 65 db of noise at the worst and 30db when no cars are going by. I do not want to buy another product like an acoustic curtain that makes a 0-10% difference. Thank you! Robert Krause

Trademark Soundproofing Reply:

Hi Robert. We are getting around 15db which is over 50% provided that the sound is coming through your windows and not through walls/floors/ceilings. You can see our videos here:

10) Judith : Would your product stop a barking dog noise? Shrill bark, Chiwawa? (sp)

Trademark Soundproofing Reply:

Hi Judith, It would definitely cut the sound down tremendously. It is hard to give an exact prediction as the sound can still carry through walls etc. You can see this video on a real life sound test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaGXpF07poE

11) Youngmin K: Hello, I am trying to figure out the best, least intrusive way of sound proofing the walls of a bathroom. The bathroom in my apartment shares a wall with my bedroom (there is a built-in closet between that wall and the bedroom space). The main problem is that sound of water running through the pipes (plus every bump coming from the bathroom, including toilet flush, etc.) echos loud and clear through the wall into my bedroom. It even passes through the closet even though I have clothes and other materials (some boxes) stored into that closet. My neighbors in the next door and the downstairs apparently run into very different schedules, so I am constantly woken up by hearing water rushing noise as late as 2am, and as early as 5am. I have not been able to have a decent night sleep because of this. Since this is a rental apartment, I figured that installing sound deadening drywall/sheetrock or using something like Green Glue would not be possible. While doing some research for fixing this problem, I discovered soundproof window panel in this website, and some plans come up with my mind: I am thinking what if I put this panel against the wall within the closet (where bathroom noise comes out and transmits to the bedroom). Do you think using soundproof panel in this way helps absorbing the noise coming out of the wall? Or, are there any recommendations using other products (in this website) to soundproof that wall? Thanks in advance for your advise. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Regards, Youngmin

Trademark Soundproofing Reply:

Hi Youngmin, The correct way would be using sound damping as you noted. Being that is not possible you can use a panel however keep in mind that some of the sound could be coming through your ceiling as well. If you go with a panel also look at our soundproof curtains which are the same material s the window panels in larger sizes.

12) Debra: About the clear vinyl covering- do you have a a video that I could see this product on the window?and a demonstration of noise block. is it possible to secure this under my blinds ? I wand a product that will look nice and will blpck road traffic noise, -

Trademark Soundproofing Reply:

Hi Debra, You can see that on our window panel video at the 1:20 mark here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzNzXA8aPLA and another video here with it on the window and actual noise blocking here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaGXpF07poE   

Thank you,

13) Zhaoxu: About the clear vinyl covering- do you ship them to UK? If yes, how long would it take, and is there an option to choose a faster delivery with extra costs? Thank you very much.

Trademark Soundproofing Reply:

Hi Zhaoxu, Please see our shipping page for details on international shipping. http://www.tmsoundproofing.com/International-Shipping.html

14) WOLETTE : is this price for real? 1 window panel for $299.00 or is it a few panels?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Wolette, Price varies per size of panels. Once you choose your size from the drop down menu you will see the price. price is per panel. This is a high quality custom made product and the price reflects that.

15) Olga M: I did not find information on how much noise reduction are your Window sound barrier provide. Please let me know measured in % of noise reduction or any other way. I am interested to buy clear panel.

Trademark Soundproofing Reply:

Hi Olga. Please see these videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzNzXA8aPLA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaGXpF07poE

16) Daniel: How would this product work with windowsills? Wouldn't it prevent the padding from completely sealing off the entire window?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Daniel. You can actually attach the panel to the window sill itself.

17) Chris L: Your website does not show a photo of what your soundproof window panels look like from the OUTSIDE of the building. Are they plain white, beige or black? Our HOA CC&R's dictate that all window coverings must be neutral in color when viewed from the outside of the building. Please advise. Thank you. Chris LeMond

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Color is the same on both sides.

18) Veronica K: Hi, I am interested in the product though I have wide window sills and frames. How bendable is the product? My window looks nothing like yours in the video. Am afraid the curtain won't lay flat and not work properly.

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Veronica, It is flexible and with 2 inches of Velcro on the edges you should have a tight seal even when installing it onto your sills.

19) Dan C: I'm interested in this product. But I don't want to spend $500 for a window not knowing for sure is this will do what I need it to do. Is there a money back gurantee with the product doesn't do what I need it to do? Please advise

Trademark Soundproofing Reply:

Hi Dan, These are custom manufactured per window size so they are non returnable. We have had great feedback from customers. This video may be a help for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaGXpF07poE

20) Chris t.: Hi, we can hear neighbors voice from our bedroom in our apartment (mainly through the shared wall). do you think if we hang this product (sound proof window panel) on wall , it could help dampen noise. we were thinking about 48 X 72 size.. that might cover about 1/2 to 3/4 of the offending wall .. or would the Sound Curtain- Heavy Duty be better? also, are these made of safe materials to inhale every night?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Chris, You can use it that way. For proper sound control you would want to cover the entire wall. You may want to consider adding

21) Jeremy R: How does installation work if there is a window sill at the bottom of the window?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: You can attache the bottom to the top of the sill. Or you can order a few inches longer and go over the sill to the wall below.

22) Stephanie: Hi - we are in Singapore - we want to order 2 panels... are you able to ship to us? Regards, Stephanie

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Stephanie. Yes that is possible. Please send details of the order and the ship to address to sales@tmsoundproofing.com

23) Julie M: I have a window sill/shelf on all of my windows. How would the velcro seal on the bottom of these windows?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Julie. You can go over the sill to the wall under the sill. Or you can seal to the top/flat part of the sill.

24) Ciaran: Dear TM, I am looking at your soundproof window panel. It says they provide STC 29, yet I have read that the average STC of a single pane window is 26-28. Is my data correct? If the product offers such a marginal difference to STC, how can it be reducing the sound entering my home. I look forward to your answer. Many thanks. Ciaran

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Ciaran. It is an additional 29 STC points. However it will not be a full 29 points when put over an existing closed window (the STC 29 is when it is free standing on its own) more like somewhere between 7-15 points as shown in the video.

25) Destiny: Do you ship intl? Im in the UK

Trademark Soundproofing Reply:

Hi. Please see our international shipping policy.

26) Metheavy: Hello, I might be interested by your soundproof window clear panel. I would like to use the velcro. However, my top, right, and lower windows frame are 1 inch wide, instead of 2 inches as required. Can I still install the clear panel on my windows frames? Or can I install the velcro directly on the windows? Thanks

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: I would not install it onto the window directly. Rather use the 1" of space and strengthen it with mechanical fasteners like staples, that should hold it in place.

27) Chester E: Is it possible to get this product with white or clear velcro for hanging?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: That may be an option please contact our office and they will check on it for you. sales@tmsoundproofing.com or call 845-388-1200

28) janel: What is the stc rating of the transparent window panel?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Approximately 26.

29) janel: Does the tan vinyl block out light completely? Can I use the clear and fabric panels together to get twice the soundblocking?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Yes the colored panels will completely block light. Using 2 layers will not double the sound blocking rather add about 4 more STC points.

30) Phillip M: Hi, Does the clear panel block out side noise as well as the others? Thanks

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: It is very close. It does not have the absorption however in our testing when it came to blocking sound they were nearly identical.

31) Tejas K: Hi, I live nearby a main-street and my bedroom has a 96"x82" (WxL) window (not including extra 2" for velcro). I would like to get the light so I the clear vinyl sounds like an option for me. I have two questions: 1) Does a clear vinyl has same performance as an opaque one? 2) Given that 48" is the maximum width allowed per panel, would it be possible to install these on my large window? Thanks.

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Performance is very close. Given the width of your windows it would come as two panels connected in the middle with about a 2 inch Velcro strip.

32) Mike C: Our window measures 52 w X 62 h. That is the size of the frame not the glass. It says max width is 48. Does that mean we need to buy two panels. Mike

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: hi Mike, Yes that would have to be done as 2 panels.

33) JN: Can I place this window panel over horizontal window blinds or do the blinds have to be removed in order for the panel to be installed? JN

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: It can go over the entire blinds area as long as you have an area to attach the Velcro to and the blinds do not get in the way (They do not jut out too much).

34) Paul: My window is round at the top: Top half is a half circle 70 3/4 wide x 35 3/8 tall Bottom half is a rectangle 70 3/4 wide x 35 3/8 tall Should I just order oversized square (say 75 x 75) and attach velcro to wall instead inside window opening on window frame?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Yes that would be the correct way to do it.

35) Jay W: If you use clear is there a difference in DB reduction as a result of using clear over material?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: A very slight reduction, not that noticeable,

36) Mustafa: Good evening; I'm interested in your product but i wonder what are the differences between soundproof window and door panel ? I need to use it on a door but its too expansive for me to buy the door panel so can i use the window panel on my door ? Thanks

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi. They are both the same material. The door panel is more expensive because it is larger and has special cutouts for hinges, door knobs etc.

37) Jian: Hey, I'm looking for a way to help reduce the traffic noise for my two bedrooms as they are facing to the street way which is also close to the free way. I have dual pane, but the noise is still around 51-55 db. I really want to reduce it to around 40 db if possible. I was thinking to replace the windows with the laminated glass, but it's price and not sure whether it's worth the investment. I found your product - SOUNDPROOF WINDOW PANEL on youtube. I have a bed room window with 75" width(including 2" for each side), and 60" height (only including 2" on top because there is windowsill at bottom which outward the wall). I need a grey color, but I would like to know whether the transparent panel has the same noise reduction as the regular color one. Looking forward to hearing feedback form you. Best, Jian

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: The clear panel is very close in noise reduction to the padded one, barely discernible to the human ear. Keep in mind that you will need 2 panels for a window that size, so there will be a line in the middle where the 2 panels meet that is not clear/see through.

38) Jim B: can u mount this or anything like this on the outside window frame? thanks

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: You can. However if it is exposed to the elements you will need to better secure the velcro strip to the exterior.

39) Mark: How well will these reduce noise from a neighbor's noisy outside central air conditioning unit?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Mark. Hard to know as sound can come through the walls/floors/ceilings etc. Customer feedback has been from the low end of 50-60 percent reduction all the way up to 90-99 percent noise reduction. You can read verified customer reviews on the page here under the "Reviews" tab.

40) Mel: Hi! My bedroom is in the back of the house next to my neighbors backyard. They sometimes play loud music and are talking loudly in the middle of the night when it's quiet outside. Will this help with that noise or will the sound likely still come through the walls?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Mel. Yes it will definitely help. You may still have sound coming through your ceilings etc however this is a very good start.

41) Kevin H: I'm renting a place and would like to remove the soundproof clear window panel when I leave. Will the adhesive on the velcro be hard to remove, cause permanent marks, or remove paint? Also, can the 2" margins around the clear panel be another color than blue?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Kevin. It is a strong adhesive and will most probably leave marks. The margin can also be made in gray however you should speak to a customer rep before placing the order to ensure.

42) Yuan: How important is it to use the Velcro? I like the fact that there are hills in the panels because I want to be able to hang and remove them. Will there be a notable difference if I hang a panel against the window instead of using the Velcro?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: If you don't use the velcro you can have some gaps along the edges which will allow sound to seep through.

43) Michael Xie: My window is in a wood frame. One side of the frame is not even. (The middle part is higher) Is the material bendable? Or could I use some foam to fill in the gap?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Yes it is bendable (somewhat) enough for your purpose. you can fill any small gaps with foam if needed.

44) Tom H: The video showed the level of sound coming through the sound barrier panel but did not show it for the clear see through vinyl. The sound we are trying to block is dribbling of a baskeball in driveway next door.

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Tom. Our in house testing has shown that the clear vinyl is very close in performance to the full barrier.

45) Mark: Hello, I would like to reduce road noise, more specifically, freeway noise in my dwelling. I see that the vinyl window panels have a STC rating of 29. If my windows have the same rating i.e. 29 would my total STC rating for my window unit be approximately 58 ? If not, please explain. Thanks

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: It would not. STC ratings are when the product alone is being used. The ratings drop when used in conjunction with other layers. We have seen a 15-20 db drop with this panel when used on standard windows.

46) John G: Hello, I am very interested in your product. My current problem is the new apartment I moved in faces a busy highway, and the windows that face this highway are very old and do not seal well. It sounds as the widows are open even when they are not. The length of this window is roughly 95 in wide by 52 in tall. My questions / concerns are: 1. How well will this soundproof window panel eliminate the noise from the street? If I am not happy with it is there a return policy? 2. Does the clear soundproof window panel provide any less sound proofing? I would like the ability to have the natural light come through - if possible. 3. If I choose to purchase, what is the usual delivery time it takes for my panel to arrive? Thank you very much! Best, John

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi John, The window panel does a great job. Hard to give an exact number as there may be sound leaking through other parts of your wall. You can read customer reviews of the window panel under the Reviews tab here. The clear performs just about as well as the non clear. Since these panels are custom manufactured per order they are not returnable. Lead time is 2-4 weeks.

47) suneel: 1. How would this work if there is a jutting at the base of the window. i have some pics to show you of the what i am talking about. In such windows it will not create a proper seal to block out the noise. 2. What is the STI rating for these

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: You can order it longer and go over the jut out. Or you can seal it to the actual sill. STC rating is 29.

48) Laurie H: What is the insulation value of the quilted panels? and of the clear vinyl panels?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: This product has not been tested for R-value

49) Angie : Will these soundproof window panels help eliminate the noise in my bedroom from my neighbors barking dog? I recently had my windows replaced with triple pane pella windows and I also run a sound machine and i can STILL hear the dog next door bark. It is a jack russel/chihuahua mix and it is about 50 feet or more from my bedroom window. PLease help!

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: It will definitely help if the sound is coming through the window. Sound may also be coming through your walls/floor and ceiling.

50) Jon: Does the velcro adhesive damage the paint on the wall if/when it is removed? We are leasing.

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: It would probably peal the paint off when being removed.

51) evens p: Is the vinyl (MLV)? Also, if you use MLV #1, Can you make the clear vinyl panel with MLV#2?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: The clear vinyl is MLV and it is only available in the 1 pound.

52) Evens P: I understand that the clear vinyl panel is only a sound barrier. But If I just want to block outside noise from coming into my bedroom,should not that be enough? what is the purpose of sound absorption? Also, If I am not blocking sounds from going out, how is it necessary?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: The clear vinyl should be enough.

53) Ken M: I was thinking of putting the white window panel on my windows but because of the fact that they will block out the sun light, I have decided to go with the clear vinyl panel. Will there be a significant difference in sound blocking?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Not much. Our internal testing has them performing very close to each other.

54) Clive P: How many years of usefulness can I expect to get out of the clear vinyl panel? Will the sound barrier lose its efficiency over time?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: As long as it is handled properly you should get at least 5 plus years. The efficiency should last the lifetime of the product. The only issue that you may have from the clear vinyl is some discoloring over time.

55) Gary: 1.)What is the STC rating on this window panel? 2.)How well do these work at blocking out the frequency of a train horn? 3.)Is there a discount for ordering more than 1? -Thank You

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: STC 27. Yes they will work at that frequency as well.

56) thompson: considering a curtain to cover a typical twin double hung window. appears cheaper to order 81" wide unit vs two 40-1/2" wide units Advertisement states this will come as two units using velcro to join. Does this become a permanet joint or can they be easiliy seperated. also the window has a traditional sill (window is not picture framed) how do you account for this in order height and what is securing method at sill

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: The Velcro joint can easily be separated. You can add a few inches to go over the sill and attach to the wall or you can attache to the upper flat sill itself.

57) Robin T: 1. what percentage of sound does it block out 2. does it have an odor 3. what chemicals is it made with Thank you.

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: From 7-15 DB. It is a vinyl material with no real odor, however that is an individual case as same people are more sensitive to certain smells than others. There is Vinyl and Fiberglass material in this product.

58) maher i: Hello, What is the weight of a 56"x54" soundproof window panel? Thanks, Maher

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Approximately 22 pounds.

59) Danny O: I have uneven molding around my window frame. I can get 2 inches on all sides, but the Velcro strips will be adhering to a fairly uneven surface. Will it still work? Also, one window will have an AC in the summer. There?s no way that the panel could accommodate for the slight protrusion of the AC beyond the frame, is there? Would be awesome if so, but I imagine that?s asking too much.

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Danny if you make the panel larger it can adhere to the wall and accommodate the protrusion of the AC.

60) Robert: Hi, What's the STC rating for this product?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: 27 STC.

61) Bryan: Hello. I'm interested in your window panel. Just curious how to install if the bottom of the window frame has a lip/ledge?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: You can order it a few inches longer (and a bit wider) so that you can go past the lip and attach to the wall.

62) Mark C: I am interested in purchasing a couple of your soundproof window panels but have a few questions. Does the Velcro come off easily or is it likely to peel paint from the frame? Also, I have a wooden frame around the window with a sill that bumps out. Is it best to attach the Velcro to the wood frame and sill? Lastly, is there an issue with heat if I leave the panel up most of the time. For example, I have blinds installed, would the heat be a problem in the summer, damaging to the blinds or window frame?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: It is a strong adhesive and would probably pull some paint off. Yes it should be attached to the sill too. So far we have not had any complaints about any heat damage. It may depend on your particular location, strength of sun etc. In general if the panel is close to the window you should not have a heat problem.

63) Fiona L K: Hello, My window faces the street, it is a new build with good quality double pained windows but I can still hear traffic noise. Will these be of any benefit? Thanks

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi. They definitely are a benefit over the windows you currently have. However it is difficult to know how much of a benefit until you try as it is possible that you have sound coming through your walls/ceiling etc.

64) Bill N: I'm looking to do this in my son's college apartment, when moving, will the the tape that goes against the wall cause the paint to come off requiring the need to repaint.

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Yes it will.

65) eileen: how do you remove the velcro placed on wall around window without damaging the wall when you no longer need panel?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: It will damage the paint at some points.

66) LG: 1) Do the clear vinyl sheets trap heat; 2) can they be easily rolled up? 3) What is the actual expected db reduction one can expect from the clear vinyl on an existing single paned, wooden framed door or window? In one answer above there is a statement of 7-15db, in another answer it states 15-20db. What is the correct answer? Thank you

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: 1) Yes 2) Yes 3) The sheet on it's own has an STC of 27. Hanging on your door you can expect the 7-15 db. However that would mean that the entire door is covered and the gaps all around are properly sealed.

67) LG: Another question: I have an old fashioned front door with glass panes. I want to still have the light coming in, so it looks like the only real solution you have is the clear vinyl window covers. Is there any reason this would not work on a door?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: That should work very well.

68) Leo: I only have 1.25" flat surface on which I could place the velcro strip around the window due to large built-in shutters. Would 1.25" of available velcro be enough to keep the panel up? The window is 78" in height and 60" width.

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: If you secure the velcro strip with fasteners, such as staples it should be sufficient.

69) Katherine: I live right next to a highway and hear traffic noise through my double-paned windows still. Will this dampen the loud engine sounds? If so, by what approximate percentage?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Yes it would. Hard to give a number as there are many other variables, sound coming through the walls/ceilings. Customers report from 30 to 100%

70) Scott: Does this product reduce low frequency noise such as train engines or heavy equipment? If so , what dimensions do you suggest? Larger than measured window I would assume? Also how much is shipping/handing?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Yes it does. See the video tab on how to measure. Shipping in the Continental US is Free.

71) wolfgang s: would putting 2 of them together make it stronger i need as close as i can get to the 90's percentile producing sound out side from getting in

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: 2 Would provide more soundproofing than one.

72) wolfgang : will 2 on top of each other make it even more soundproof like the thicker the better? and what is this made out of exactly?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Yes it would. Made from Mass Loaded Vinyl, fiberglass and a vinyl covering.

73) Eva B: My window is about 60" X 60". Can one large panel be made? And could I get an approximate price?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: That would require 2 panels. Just choose 60 inches from the dropdown of the width, same for the height and the price will automatically be calculated for you.

74) Sally C: Are these soundproof window panels good for lower frequencies (rumbling trucks) and are the plain clear vinyl as good as the vinyl covered panels with sound absorption? Are the sizes indicated in the description the length size? Would you recommend getting a panel a bit larger than the window in both length and width?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Sally. Yes they are used by many of customers for precisely these type of noise issues. Both perform well, the padded panels perform slightly better due to the absorption properties added to them. Yes we recommend 2 inches wider than the window on all sides. Please see the description tab on "how to order".

75) Manh Le: I have a a big windows in my apartment. Measured 71"x 78.5" (already included velcro measurement). I read some info on your website mentioning that the panel for my windows will be split into 2 panels. 0. Do you split this horizontally or vertically? 1. Will this affect sound blocking performance? 2. Not sure how mating velcro will work in my case? My windows are big and it does not have median in the middle where I can affix the mating velcro. Thank you

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: It can be done wither horizontally or vertically, whichever you prefer. Sound performance will not be affected and the mating velcro is strong enough to support your span

76) John K: Hi What is the difference between the sound blocking properties between the clear vinyl and the padded vinyl? BTW Great Website, I have learned so much, Thank you!

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: The quilted window panel has a 30% higher rating for 250 -2000 hz then the clear panel. Thank you. We hear that from many customers and appreciate the feedback!

77) Diane L: What is the stc rating of non clear panel and is this effective for blocking against very loud, deep low pitched barking of a dog about 25 ft from window? Thanks

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: 29. Yes it is effective for that.

78) joe: windows are 67x57 with a three inch casing all around. i do not intend to use velcro on the walls - even though i understand i will be losing some functionality. can these be made without velcro? they will be hung from the grommets, and will fit nicely inside the window frame.

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Joe. Yes we can make them for you without the Velcro. Please give us a call 845-388-1200 or email sales@tmsoundproofing.com

79) Deb j: What is the measurement (how much do you get) for this price for clear window panels?

Trademark Soundproofing Reply: Hi Deb. You can choose the size that you want from the drop down menu and the price will change accordingly so that you see the price for whichever size you choose.
