Whether it’s for a concert venue or a hospital, soundproof internal doors can ensure you make the most of your space without any outside interference. With that in mind, here are some ways soundproof doors are extremely beneficial. Soundproof doors contribute to noise reduction […]

The purpose of acoustic (soundproof) doors and their uses
If you’re considering some form of soundproofing, it’s going to be for one of two reasons: either you are responsible for noise creation and want to ensure it doesn’t spill out of a particular area, or you have an area where a low level of noise is highly desirable. Acoustic doors, alongside measures to reduce […]
Read MoreFeatures of an acoustic and soundproof door
Acoustic and soundproof doors are in demand when it comes to a variety of public and commercial buildings. They are packed full of a range of helpful features, and not only those pertaining to sound. In this blog, we take a look at some of the main characteristics of soundproof doors and acoustic doors. Who […]
Read MoreWhat makes a soundproof door?
We’ve talked a lot about soundproof doors in the past – this time we thought that we would look at what actually makes a door soundproof. To do this we’ll begin by reviewing what sound actually is, before looking at how barriers to the transmission of sound (such as soundproof doors) actually operate. What is […]
Read MoreThe facts behind acoustic ratings
Having returned to one of our favourite topics (soundproof doors) we’re now going to revisit how the volume or loudness of sound is actually measured. The unit of measurement is called the Decibel, originally named in honour of Alexander Graham Bell. Now let’s have a look at some examples, and how we define different noise […]
Read MoreThe industries that use soundproof doors
We’ve written several articles in the past on soundproof doors and we’ve covered a wide variety of topics: what sound actually is how it’s transmitted how the volume of noise is measured and comparisons made how to achieve noise reduction what are the maximum noise levels permitted (legally) in different workspaces and environments We’ve decided […]
Read MoreSoundproof doors and why they are perfect for recording studios
Recording (or sound) studios are possibly the most demanding environment of them all when we’re thinking of acoustics and soundproof doors. Let’s begin this article by taking a quick look at what a recording studio is, what goes on inside one, and what are some of its unique characteristics and requirements, before considering the things […]
Read MoreExamples and uses of sound proof fire doors
We’re delighted to return to an old favourite topic – sound proof doors. And more specifically, sound proof fire doors. We know all about fire doors now, having spent several weeks looking into them, so let’s add in the soundproofing dimension and see where we get to. What do sound proof fire doors do? […]
Read MoreThe sound of the Big Bang … and other matters of interest …
Last time we introduced the Decibel scale, and also mentioned the loudest sound ever recorded (the volcanic eruption on Krakatoa in 1883). While researching, we came upon the concept of the loudest sound possible … another one for the philosophers to mull over perhaps! Not unlike – at least to people who haven’t studied relativity […]
Read MoreThe loudest sound ever …
What’s the question that’s often asked at dinner parties? Something along the lines of – if an animal makes a sound in a remote forest, and no-one’s there to here it, did it in fact make a sound? Well, of course the scientists would presumably say “yes” – a sound wave (see our last blog) […]
