(BPT) - Whether it’s the neighbor’s lawnmower, low-flying aircraft, heavy traffic or loud music, noise pollution can hinder you from truly enjoying your home. Nowadays, a quiet place to relax and chill out can be increasingly difficult to find. Yet, a smart investment in the right materials can let you achieve both solace and silence in your home. Noise pollution can noticeably contribute to issues such as cognitive impairment, language development problems, learning disabilities, mood disorders as well as social and behavioral issues, according to online medical resource, MedScape, While these conditions are more likely to occur in children, there is a chance that older residents can suffer due to noise pollution. Eliminating noise pollution can have a significant impact on motivation, education and overall mood. The wrong kinds of noise pollution upgrades can often mean homeowners spend a lot more than necessary and get a lot less in return. Building experts note homeowners are more likely to invest in soundproofing materials for their theatre or media rooms rather than tackle the issue of noise pollution holistically. Investing in heavy soundproofing drapes and double-glazed windows are a good start to minimizing external, airborne noises. But what about flanking noises? That is, those noises rumbling from piping and the water system within your home. One versatile option that addresses both airborne and flanking noise pollution is spray foam insulation. Spray foam insulation is ideal for targeting noise pollution while providing a range of other benefits. Conforming to any space when applied, spray foam insulation forms a thick, sponge-like barrier that blocks the chaos of the outside world and dampens the flanking noises from your home’s pipes improving the quality of life and health of you and your family. Installed by professionals, high performance spray foam insulation goes beyond just noise dampening. It fills every gap within the home’s walls and ceiling to stop air escaping as well as reduces the strain on your heating and cooling equipment. Spray foam insulation both insulates and air seals the entire building envelope letting homeowners cut their monthly heating and cooling bills by as much as 50 percent in some cases. As a long-term solution, spray foam insulation helps maintain a comfortable temperature yearround while helping to control noise pollution. The buzzing of a lawnmower and the late night house party can be a thing of the past thanks to a wellinsulated home. • OPEN HOUSE IN EL SEGUNDO • Sat. 2-4pm 900 Cedar #205 2/2 ,2 side by side parking $489,000 Bill Ruane Remax El Segundo 310-877-2374 • Sat. 2-4pm 709 Hillcrest 3/2 $779,000 Bill Ruane Remax El Segundo 310-877-2374 • Sun. 1-4pm 400 Bungalow Dr. 6/4, 4950 sqft. corner lot $1,299,000 Scot Nicol RE/MAX estate ppreperties. 310-529-5286 • Sun. 2-4pm 1421 Sycamore 5/4, 10,662 sq. ft. lot $1,649,900 Bill Ruane Remax El Segundo 310-877-2374 • Sun. 2-4pm 512 E.
