Living in the heart of Madrid, just a few meters from the M-30, has many advantages... but also a big drawback: the constant noise from the highway and higher energy costs due to insulation losses.
Our clients from Chamberí contacted us with a clear objective: restore peace of mind to your home and improve your home's energy efficiency.
The home suffered from insufficient sound insulation for the outside noise level, and old windows compromised thermal comfort and reduced air conditioning costs. The noise of cars was constant, and the feeling of cold in winter and heat in summer permeated every room.
We install 5 PVC windows Kömmerling 76 MD, with 6 air chambers and a slimmer profile of just 76 mm, along with RolaPlus blinds by Kömmerling in bronze and Planistar One Silence glass by Climalit.
This solution was the most appropriate since, due to the building's orientation, the glass reduces sunlight while maintaining light, improves thermal efficiency by preventing heat loss, and, thanks to the Silence treatment, effectively blocks noise from the M-30.

2. Above-average energy efficiency
- Energy demand: 19,61% reduction in heating and cooling (the average is usually between 8-10%).
- Non-renewable primary energy consumption: improvement of 16,29%.
- CO₂ emissions: reduction of 16,18%, which is equivalent to stopping the emission approximately 1000 kg of CO₂ per year.
- Energy label: step from the letter E to the letter D.
- 3. Year-round comfort
The change isn't just noticeable on the bills and in the silence: the interior temperature is now stable in all seasons, without drafts or peaks of heat or cold.
This project in Chamberí demonstrates how professional installation and the right choice of materials can completely transform a home.
Our clients have not only improved their health and well-being thanks to soundproofing, but they have also reduced their environmental impact and energy costs.
A quieter, more efficient, and more comfortable home… just meters from the M-30.
