ENHANCING HOME COMFORT:

ENERGY EFFICIENT AND QUIET SPACES

Evolving home designs in America place laundry spaces closer to bedrooms and living areas, contributing to increased noise load. Owens Corning Insulation inside appliances help create quiet spaces.

Here are the top three advantages of owning insulated appliances

Sustainability

Sustainability guides every aspect of our business. From development to production, it's integrated into all operations. Setting new long-term goals, we prioritize growth and responsibility. Our commitment to a sustainable future is unwavering.

Energy Efficiency

Insulation technology in appliances reduces energy consumption and lowers utility bills. It maintains desired temperatures year-round, minimizing environmental impact. Enjoy comfort while contributing to a sustainable future.

Noise Reduction

Quiet and efficient, insulated appliances help transform your home into a peaceful sanctuary. Enjoy tranquility and enhanced comfort with minimized noise levels during operation.

Quieter Washers

Whether your washer features a plastic tub or a stainless steel tub, the application of acoustic insulation in its production effectively lowers the noise level produced by the appliance. The plastic tub reduces noise by nearly 5 decibels, while the stainless steel tub reduces it by 4 decibels. 

Typical conversations register at around 60 decibels, signifying that this noise reduction achieved through the use of insulated appliances would not interfere with or disrupt your domestic tranquility.

Quieter Dishwashers

Concerning dishwashers, the inclusion of acoustic insulation during manufacturing results in a reduction of 7 decibels in noise levels.

Whispers typically register in the 30s on the decibel scale. This implies that when you use insulated dishwashers, you can run your them without worrying about it creating excessive noise.

ACHIEVE THE NEXT LEVEL OF COMFORT AT HOME

The noise from the washing machine shouldn't distract you from your important activities. Experience enhanced comfort by choosing appliances made with Owens Corning Insulation.

LAUNDRY ROOM DESIGN BASICS

From the guide: "If you choose a location near living or sleeping areas, shop for appliances with extra insulation and improved suspension that promise quiet operation and reduced vibration. if the dryer doesn't list a decibel (db) rating, it's probably too noisy to place near the bedroom or in the kitchen. The same logic might apply to washing machines with high-speed spin cycles (more than 1,000 rpm); they might vibrate too much to be located near living or sleeping areas."
