How to Reduce Noise in Your New Pittsburgh Home with Custom Window Treatments

Moving into a new home in Pittsburgh is exciting—but outside noise can quickly turn it into a distraction. Can window treatments help? The answer is a resounding yes! While not true soundproofing, the right custom blinds, shades, and curtains can significantly soften noise and restore your home's peaceful vibe.

At Best Pittsburgh Blinds, we specialize in smart window treatment choices that boost style and sound reduction—so you can reclaim the calm in your sanctuary.

How Window Treatments Help Reduce Noise

Window coverings act like soft acoustic panels, absorbing sound waves before they echo around or pass through windows. Heavier, more insulated fabrics and clever layering do wonders in buffering outside noise.

Here’s a breakdown of the best options:

• Cellular (Honeycomb) ShadesTheir structured honeycomb pockets trap air and muffle sound, while also improving energy efficiency.

• Heavy Drapes or Thermal CurtainsThick velvet or thermal-lined curtains are excellent at blocking noise entering through windows.

• Roman ShadesWhen made from dense fabrics, they add a layer of sound absorption without compromising elegance.

• Shutters & Faux Wood BlindsWhile not as effective as fabric on their own, they reduce draft-driven vibrations and help seal the window area.

  
  

Top Tips for Better Noise Reduction

• Layer StrategicallyCombine a cellular shade or blind with a heavy drape for max acoustic benefit (and style!).

• Ensure a Tight FitProperly sized window treatments prevent noise leaks—no cracks or drafts.
