When noise becomes an invisible threat to daily life. Noise pollution in modern cities has emerged as a significant health hazard. The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that prolonged exposure to noise levels above 55 decibels (dB) increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. In the face of noise challenges, a high-quality soundproof window is not only an upgrade for the home but also a necessity for safeguarding health. The Hidden Hazards of Noise – From Hearing to Systemic Chain Reactions ① The Three Major Sources of Noise: Traffic noise: Noise peaks on urban main roads can reach 85 dB, equivalent to being constantly exposed to the environment of a chainsaw in operation. High-frequency tire friction and low-frequency engine roaring form a compound disturbance to human hearing. Industrial noise: Low-frequency noise (e.g., 500Hz band) generated by factory machinery has strong penetration. Long-term exposure to this environment can easily lead to headaches, insomnia, and other neurological symptoms. Lifestyle noise: Medium to high-frequency noises such as square dancing speakers (90 dB) and renovation drills (110 dB) directly impact the eardrum, causing distraction and emotional agitation. ② The Physiological Impact Chain of Noise Hearing damage: Continuous exposure to environments above 90 dB can lead......

Ancient Chinese people had a deep attachment to windows. For them, the humor of opening a window lay in borrowing scenery. Through a window, one could borrow the boundless moonlight and scenery. This allowed them to enjoy a transparent connection between the inside and outside, warmth from the sun, and gentle breezes. In the cycle of the four seasons, one could witness the prosperity and withering of time through the window. The branches outside, swayed by the wind, inadvertently stirred the ripples in the viewer’s heart. We always crave more beautiful scenery in our busy lives. But in fact, the architectural wisdom of ancient Chinese people had already encapsulated all beauty within a single window. Today, let KANOD Window and Door Manufacturer guide you in understanding the differences between ancient Chinese windows and modern windows. Ancient Chinese Windows Ancient Chinese windows were works of art. Winter plum blossoms, summer flowers, birds, fish, insects, mythical immortals—almost all the beautiful scenery of the world could be found on ancient Chinese windows. The forms of ancient Chinese windows were diverse. They represented a perfect fusion of Eastern architectural aesthetics and Western geometric mechanics. Chinese ancient windows were composed of straight lines and curves.......

What is the purpose of a home balcony? Is it for drying clothes, working from home, or leisure and entertainment? The prerequisite for supporting these purposes is the careful consideration of windows and doors. For balcony space window and door design, KANOD Window and Door Manufacturer offers three customization options. Open Balcony For many residents, enclosing a balcony would undoubtedly compromise some freedom and ventilation. Therefore, many opt to retain an open balcony design. For those who choose an open balcony, KANOD generally recommends installing a sliding door or folding door at the interconnection between the balcony and the living room. This can fulfill residents’ ventilation and lighting needs. At the same time, the door and window settings also take on important tasks like burglar-proofing, dust prevention, and sound insulation. When choosing a sliding door, it is not advisable to opt for a narrow-framed sliding door. Although a narrow-framed sliding door can meet the demand for a wide field of view, its strength is not as good as that of a heavy-duty sliding door or a lifting sliding door—especially for balconies on higher floors. If the house area is smaller, a folding door is also a great choice. When fully......

In this era where land is incredibly valuable, homes have become the ultimate luxury. Despite significant fluctuations in housing prices in 2024, they have gradually stabilized but remain unaffordable for the average person. Affordable homes are shrinking in size. Smaller homes mean smaller spaces for various areas, yet furniture remains the same size, making already tight spaces even more cramped. In this article, KANOD Windows and Doors will share some tips on how clever design can effortlessly expand your home’s space. Let’s dive in. Defining Spaces with Lines When designing small apartments, the clever use of points, lines, and planes can broaden the space and make the entire home look more refined and spacious. Unlike solid walls, small spaces require obstacle-free partitioning techniques. Aluminum alloy windows and doors can be used to delineate functional areas, such as folding windows and sliding windows. In transparent glass windows and doors, small spaces can visually extend greatly. At the same time, they ensure ample natural light in indoor areas, avoiding the oppressive feeling of small spaces. This enhances the depth and modernity of the space, similar to the interior design cases showcased on PINTEREST. We recommend KANOD’s multifunctional folding windows, featuring large glass......

In China, there’s an old saying, “A new year brings new beginnings.” It means that when a new year arrives, we should shed our old bad habits and face the new year with a fresh appearance. For children, it also marks the start of a new learning phase. Studies have shown that children from families that provide them with a separate space for reading and studying tend to have better concentration and comprehension abilities in their studies compared to their peers. But do you know what factors are essential for creating a dedicated study space for your child? Soundproofing and Noise Reduction for Peaceful Study For lively and curious children who are still exploring the world, it’s difficult to refocus their attention on studying if they are distracted by external noise. Therefore, they need an environment where they can calmly study and ponder problems, ideally away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Hence, soundproofing is crucial!

Even in a small bathroom, windows and doors can be utilized to interpret another kind of beauty and happiness in home life.

However, not just any window will do. You need to consider the size of the bathroom. If the bathroom window is large enough, go for......
