Standard residential windows and doors may be made far more noise efficient than they are today. Although noise effective products are available they are very expensive and usually contain several extra glass layers or greatly increased glass thickness. SmartSkin can engineer noise-effective solutions for residential windows and doors that require only minor modifications in construction, minimal additional cost, virtually no added weight or volume — and still significantly increase the Sound Transmission Coefficient of residential and light commercial openings.

Solutions can even be designed to concentrate specifically on varying frequencies in the noise spectrum, i.e. more effective in mitigating specific frequencies such as those associated with aircraft noise, traffic noise or the neighbor's barking dog. A "tunable" window or door, allowing the user to dial out specific frequencies more effectively is within the realm of possibility. SmartSkin also has the ability to work with architectural surfaces such as noise and vibration reduction in curtain wall and other more heavily commercial applications.
