According to a study by Zonda, nearly half of respondents with children under the age of 19 at home are still having issues with being disrupted by noise during the work day, after a year of shifting to working from home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The offending sounds are caused by others working, studying or simply going about their day.
Home workers and students are utilizing technology like noise canceling headphones to minimize distractions, but they are still having trouble with noisy distractions. Fifty-five percent of respondents are working longer hours to finish their tasks due to noise disruptions.
Jeld-Wen Holding Inc.'s solid doors, such as its ProCore doors may help with noise abatement, according to a statement from Jeld-Wen. “Homeowners have been spending a lot more time at home during the past year and are making a lot of home improvements,” says Kathryn Caspar, VP of interior door products at Jeld-Wen. “One improvement they may not have thought of is replacing their interior doors to manage noise. Our ProCore solid-core doors reduce noise by up to 50 percent and are more affordable than one might think.”
Jeld-Wen ProCore Quiet Doors can be found at major home improvement retailers and via building supply distributors.
