GENERAL FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Soundproof Windows
1. Can I add an extra layer of glass to my existing window?
Each window is made to hold a specific type and size of glass. Therefore, adding another layer of glass to your existing window may not be possible without changing the window design. Instead, you can consider installing soundproof windows or a double glazed window system to help reduce outside noise.
2. Can I keep my existing window frame and install soundproof windows on it?
It depends on your existing window frame. Standard aluminium frames and Fortuna’s uPVC window frames have different sizes and designs. Fortuna’s uPVC window frames also have multiple chambers that help reduce the transfer of sound and heat. Our team can assess your existing windows and advise on suitable options.
3. Can I install soundproof windows in my new BTO flat?
You may be able to install an additional window on the inside, subject to the relevant requirements. However, HDB rules may apply depending on the type of work. Before proceeding, check the latest HDB window renovation guidelines to ensure your plans meet the requirements. You can also contact Fortuna to discuss possible soundproof window options.
4. Can I install soundproof windows in a shopfront, condo or landed property?
Yes, Fortuna provides soundproof window solutions for different types of properties. However, the requirements may vary depending on the building and its management rules. For example, some projects may require approval for window design, colour or installation. Our team can discuss your needs and help you understand the requirements before work begins. We also offer soundproof door solutions for suitable properties.
5. Can I visit a showroom to see the products?
Yes, showroom visits are available by appointment. Please contact Fortuna before visiting to arrange a suitable time. Our showroom is at 10 Kaki Bukit Road 1, #03-22 KB Industrial Building, Singapore 416175.

Technical
Technical FAQs About Soundproof Windows
1. Which material is better for soundproofing: uPVC or aluminium?
Answer: uPVC (Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride) has several benefits over aluminium. It is rigid and durable. In addition, its unique frame structure helps reduce the transfer of sound and heat through soundproof windows.
2. Which type of glass is most effective for soundproofing?
Answer: Laminated glass is a good option for soundproofing. It consists of multiple layers of glass with a PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) layer in between. This layer helps reduce sound transmission. When choosing a noise reduction window, the glass type and overall window design are both important.
3. What is the difference between STC and sound decibels?
Answer: Decibels (dB) are used to measure sound levels. STC stands for Sound Transmission Class. It is a rating that shows how well a building material or partition reduces airborne sound. Both terms help explain sound performance, but they measure different things.
4. Does thicker glass provide better soundproofing?
Answer: This is a common misconception because thicker glass may seem like a better choice. However, sound insulation depends on the quality and combination of barriers in the window. For example, a PVB layer in laminated glass or an air gap between glass panes can help reduce sound transmission. Therefore, the overall design matters when choosing soundproof windows or a double glazed window system.
5. I have installed double glazed windows, but I can still hear outside noise. Why?
Answer: Not all double glazed windows provide the same level of noise reduction. Here are some points to check when choosing soundproof windows:
- Frame chambers: Check whether the window frame has at least five small chambers within its structure.
- Frame size and thickness: Compare the width and thickness of the new frame with your previous window frame.
- Window handle and seals: The handle should lock the window firmly when closed, while the seals should minimise gaps where sound can pass through.
- Frame joints: Check the L-shaped corners of the frame. Poorly fitted joints or visible gaps may allow sound to pass through.
These checks can help you assess your existing windows. They are also useful when comparing uPVC window systems and other noise reduction window options.
