Rollac Rolling Shutter Benefits: Reduce Noise

 

Rollac’s roller shutters cover the windows and doors of a wide range of commercial buildings across America, including equipment rental spaces, large warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and electrical supply companies. To the uninitiated, it may seem they’re only there to provide basic storefront security. However, for those in the know, they serve another purpose: noise reduction. 

Roller shutters are a fantastic barrier against noise by effectively dampening the flow of unwanted sounds to and from commercial spaces. From the loud clanging of daily operations to the hum of machinery, the constant noise in commercial and industrial environments can affect an employee’s productivity and well-being. 

Yet, using roller shutters for noise reduction isn’t exclusive to commercial facilities; they can also be used in residential settings. Whether you live on a busy street or near a commercial facility, noise-blocking shutters are one of the most effective ways to keep the din of the outside world at bay and turn your home into a quiet and private oasis.

If you’re seeking relief from your ‘noise problem,’ Rollac’s noise reduction roller shutters are your ticket to peace.

 

Can Rolling Shutters Block Noise?

Often, customers who contact us regarding our commercial roller shutters are searching for a covering that will increase their security, deter vandalism, and protect their business from hurricane damage.

They don’t realize that our insulated roller shutters can serve an additional purpose: noise reduction. Yes, roller shutters help block out noise.

Our commercial and residential roller shutters can be designed with a unique insulating core. This feature absorbs sound vibrations and can block up to 80% of outside noise, significantly reducing the ambient noise level.

Because all of our rolling shutters are custom-built to suit your unique window and door measurements, there won’t be any risk of gaps for noise to sneak in because these coverings will fit like a glove.  

Why Would I Need Noise Reduction Shutters?

Noise-reducing shutters can benefit everyone for the following reasons. 

You Work at Night

Imagine crawling into your bed after working an overnight shift doing inventory at the pharmacy you own. You’re exhausted and slowly drifting off to sleep when the sound of a jackhammer wakes you. The constant thumping and vibration keep you awake and shake your bed. You can try to put a pillow over your head and hope for the best, or you can invest in the same type of automatic roller shutters you have at your pharmacy but for your home. 

From now on, falling asleep after those overnight shifts will be a peaceful experience. Installing Rollac’s automated roller shutters over your home’s windows and doors means you’ll enjoy a restful sleep regardless of outside road work!

Working from Home

With so many people working from home today, noise reduction has become more critical than ever. No matter what tasks you happen to be working on, they can be difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish if you are subjected to outside noise from kids playing, cars zooming up and down your street, or other distractions. 

We understand this at Rollac. That’s why we recommend installing our residential rolling shutters for your home. Once complete, your home office will become the quiet and efficient workspace you need to tackle the most complex projects.

You’ve Got noisy Neighbors

Whether your neighbors are prone to hosting late-night parties, own yappy dogs, or are simply too loud, you’re on the hunt for some sort of noise reduction. That’s where Rollac’s residential shutters, with their insulated core, can help provide you with quiet and much-needed privacy. Our automatic and manual roll-down shutters can turn your loud house into the quietest residence on the block, blocking the sound of barking dogs, loud music, and even the rumble of passing traffic.

You’re The Loud House on The Block

Do shutters reduce noise? The answer is simple: yes, they do, and both ways!  If your neighbors have complained about your screaming newborn waking them up at night or your children playing too loudly outside, bring them in and lower your motorized roller shutters.  

Our noise reduction roller shutters will prevent the midnight crying and screams of delight of having a young family from bothering your neighbors. 

You Live on a Busy Street

Do shutters reduce traffic noise? Yes, they do! Imagine you’ve purchased your new home, which neighbors your local 24-hour convenience store. The house is in the perfect location during the day. However, things get a little inconvenient at night. The constant sound of traffic going to and from the parking lot prevents you from staying asleep. It’s time to invest in roller shutters for noise reduction. 

The initial cost of investing in exterior rolling shutters to block out the convenience store noise might be intimidating. However, consider the long-term benefits to your mental and physical health. Sleeping soundly and working in a quiet environment can significantly improve your productivity and well-being, making the investment worthwhile.

Additional Benefits of Rolling Shutters

At Rollac, our customers often select commercial or residential shutters for various reasons, including their noise-reduction capabilities. But these heavy-duty coverings offer other benefits.

Whether you’re looking to improve your home’s energy efficiency, create a more productive work environment, or enhance the security of your business, our noise-reduction shutters can meet your needs.

Energy Efficiency

Choosing noise-reduction shutters can help lower the energy loss from your home or business’s windows or doors. 

Approximately 25%—30% of residential heating and cooling energy use occurs from heat gain and loss through windows. Using automated shutters to cover your south-facing windows and doors can help you save on cooling costs and lower your home’s temperature during the hottest summer months.

Block Light  

In addition to blocking heat and preventing energy loss, automated shutters can prevent sunlight from entering your home or business. 

For instance, if you need to sleep during the day because you work at night, install roller shutters that lower at predetermined times. This will enable you to sleep continuously in a darkened room. You won’t have to interrupt your sleep to get up and lower the blinds. Automated shutters can also block the harmful effects of the sun’s UV rays, which can damage furniture, artwork, and rugs. 

Whether you lower your roller shutters using either an app or a remote control, the solar protection you provide for your home is invaluable.

Protection for Your Family and Business

Unfortunately, you never know if your home or business will be the victim of a robbery or an act of violence. Consider investing in roller security shutters to provide your loved ones and property as much protection as possible.

With so many factors to consider when purchasing commercial roller shutters, Rollac simplifies the decision with its ShopGuard commercial-grade security shutters.

Storms and Hurricanes

Rollac’s heavy-duty rolling shutters offer tremendous storm protection from strong winds to hurricanes. 

For example, let’s say you own a gas station along the hurricane-prone Gulf of Mexico. With the hurricane season on the horizon, you’re debating whether to install security shutters on your gas station’s windows and doors in case a significant storm makes landfall in your area. You don’t want to be robbed or looted like you were the last time a hurricane hit. 

The cost of Rollac’s hurricane-rated shutters offers you two solutions for the price of one. Our SecuraMax shutters are heavy-duty storm and security shutters in one.
