Who Needs Soundproof Doors?

Many of us are used to the everyday noise and activity that surrounds us in our home and work environments – the sound of the kids running round, computer games and the TV at home, road traffic and general hustle and bustle of a work environment – all this noise can have a detrimental effect on both our everyday lifestyles and activities as well as our health.

Sleep disturbance, ischemic heart disease, hypertension and other detrimental mental health issues are all exacerbated by noise pollution in our everyday lives. There are many valid reasons to consider installing soundproof doors both at work and home – here are some noise aspects of soundproof doors to consider:

Soundproof doors

Soundproof doors are installed to prevent sound and vibration from passing into a room from other adjoining spaces and rooms – these doors are specifically designed and manufactured with heavy insulation and sound absorbing materials with acoustic seals to reduce all forms of noise.

Benefits of soundproof doors

The main benefit of a soundproof door is noise reduction – they can control acoustics whilst minimising any outside noise or sound disturbance, helping those inside the room to concentrate better leading to improved personal performance in whatever is being practised in the room. Noise reduction leads to improved mood, reduced anxiety, and undisturbed activity.

Where Soundproof Doors Are Used

Here are some environments and businesses that would typically require soundproof doors:

Recording Studio

An obvious example of a space that requires soundproof doors – whilst recording you need to be protected from any outside noise from adjoining rooms, street sounds and even other people’s activities.

Meeting Rooms

If you are involved in a team meeting or briefing at work you need all present to be able to hear the meeting content, free from distraction and interference from adjoining spaces.

Personal Office Space

In the office there are often needs for privacy and confidentiality, so there needs to be a relevant space where these discussions can be held without interference.

Hospitals

There are many rooms or spaces within a hospital where soundproof doors are required – operating theatres, consulting rooms and specialist medical procedures areas as well as general wards where rest and peace are essential!

Educational establishments

School classrooms and University lecture theatres need to be soundproofed to allow the appropriate concentration for the students being taught within them.

Around the home

Although it may not appear obvious, there are obvious advantages to having soundproof doors installed in some rooms around the house – especially if you have a large family. Private space is important in any environment – at home the bedroom should be sacrosanct for an ‘escape’ space from a busy day’s work and a bustling family and, with the rise in the number of people who now work from home, any office space in the house will need to be kept free of general ‘household’ activity.
