The Modern Noise Problem

Living in a vibrant city like Melbourne comes with many perks — access to cafes, transport, and a thriving lifestyle — but it often comes at a cost: noise. From passing traffic, construction sites, barking dogs, to early morning delivery trucks or weekend nightlife, constant sound exposure can make it difficult to relax, concentrate, or sleep.

Over time, this background noise doesn’t just irritate — it can impact your health, increasing stress, anxiety, and even blood pressure. That’s why finding effective soundproofing solutions for your home is so important.

Enter HOMIC roller shutters — your first line of defence against unwanted noise.

How Roller Shutters Reduce Noise

1. An Extra Barrier Between You and the Street

HOMIC roller shutters act as a physical barrier, sealing off your windows — one of the main entry points for sound waves. When properly installed, they create an air pocket between the shutter and your window, which dramatically reduces the transfer of noise.

Result: The sound energy dissipates before it even enters your room, keeping your space quieter and calmer.

2. Insulated Slats for Sound Absorption

Our premium roller shutters use insulated aluminium slats that not only block sound but absorb it. This design reduces mid- and high-frequency noise from:
– Traffic and passing vehicles
– Construction machinery
– Loud conversations outdoors
– Barking dogs and neighbourhood sounds

Tests show that well-installed roller shutters can reduce external noise by up to 50%, depending on the window size and building structure — a noticeable difference you’ll feel from the first day.

3. Tight Sealing and Minimal Gaps

Standard blinds or curtains don’t stop sound because gaps remain around the edges. HOMIC roller shutters, however, fit snugly against your frames, preventing vibrations and air leaks that let sound through. This precise fit ensures your home’s acoustic insulation performs at its best.

4. Dual Function: Sound and Thermal Insulation

While they’re known for reducing noise, HOMIC roller shutters also provide thermal insulation — keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This dual benefit means less outside disturbance, more indoor comfort, and even lower energy bills.

Real-World Benefits for Noisy Locations

If you live near any of these environments, roller shutters can make a huge difference:
– Busy main roads or intersections
– Train lines or tram routes
– Construction zones or industrial areas
– Entertainment or nightlife precincts
– Schools or sports facilities
– Densely populated neighbourhoods

Imagine: enjoying a morning sleep-in without hearing garbage trucks, or watching a movie without street noise leaking in.
