Key Features & Uses Of 42db Acoustic Doors

There are a number of different environments in everyday life in which noise reduction is either preferable or essential! For example, if you’re sitting in the cinema trying to watch the latest blockbuster movie, the last thing you want is the accompanying soundtrack of the building site next door!  It’s not always a matter of keeping noise out of your environment – it’s equally as important, in some cases, to keep noise in.

Here are a few things to consider when looking for soundproof doors:

Features of 42db acoustic doors

As well as the practical applications of 42db acoustic doors, there are aesthetic issues to consider also:

Strong glass

Acoustic doors can be manufactured with appropriate glazing – there are a variety of styles and glass thicknesses – clear or wired glass is available – to meet any required integrity and insulation, along with approved fire safety standards.

Extra strong seals

All 42db acoustic doors have extra strong seals that drop to the base of the doors to reduce or eliminate noise.

Supplied as complete doorsets

All acoustic doorsets are supplied as complete assemblies with a frame, and carry industry respected and recognized Quiet Mark accreditation.

Dual certified

They can also be manufactured to dual certificate standard, therefore resistant to fire as well.

Veneers

If you’re ordering a number of 42db acoustic doors for the same installation then a consistent match throughout your door order is essential. There is a range of veneers to choose from, and your manufacturer will ensure a consistent appearance throughout.

Laminates

Again, a variety of options available – plain, patterned or wood grain – and all have excellent impact and scratch resistance, and are easy to clean and maintain.

Uses of 42db acoustic doors

As well as some obvious examples of environments that require noise reduction, building standard requirements have been introduced into a number of different environments which demand acoustic doors:

Cinemas & theatres

An obvious candidate for noise control and one of those environments where it is as essential to contain the noise inside as well as prevent outside interruption.

Recording studios

There is an obvious requirement for acoustic balance within these rooms, to aid the process within and avoid outside noise contamination.

Schools

Classroom noise control is massively important and acoustic doors can help achieve optimal reverberation times and acoustics. This is, of course, equally important in areas such school doors for music rooms and laboratories.

Industrial and manufacturing facilities

Probably the harshest work environments for excessive noise levels – there are health and safety issues and requirements in controlling noise in these environments.

Apartment doors

Reducing disturbance from late night arrivals – and early morning departures.

Office doors

Office doors provide privacy and a space for confidential discussion.

Healthcare environments

 Hospitals have a myriad of critical noise control environments, from exam and diagnosis room privacy and confidentially, to surgical operation areas and general patient care rooms.

Hotels

Outside of industrial and manufacturing environments, the hospitality industry probably emits the next highest level of noise. Whether it is a noisy restaurant or bar, an in-house casino or banqueting rooms, hotel doors  should provide effective noise reduction and control is paramount for keeping guests, employees and neighbours happy.
