What is Acoustic Door?

A door with a barrier of sound with the capability of ventilating naturally and lower down the noise levels like traffic with a rigid construction which reduces the chances of a fire or a smoke spread out is Acoustical. These Acoustic Doors are the pre-requisites for sites where the noise level has to be kept as minimum as possible like libraries, museums, board meeting rooms, hospitals, hotels, recording studios and a lot more.

The Designing and Implementation:

Any ‘sound’ is said to be the output of the vibrations which travels through any medium and is audible. The role of a barrier is to minimise the vibrations which can penetrate through the Acoustic Doors. In other terms, these Acoustic Doors are insulators of the sound. The best ways to get the insulators working are either to reduce the mass with the help of double leaf partitions.

Types of Acoustic Door:

Different sites may have different requirements for these doors. As per the needs, an Acoustic Door can be:
  1. Single or Double door (swinging)
  2. Single or Double door (sliding)
  3. Smoke / Fire door
  4. Heavy weight or Light weight door
  5. Electric door
  6. Magnamatic or Automatic door
These designs can be implemented to create Acoustic Doors.

Validations:

The Acoustic Doors are measured and compared using the Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings which defines the sound reducing quality of the doors. The damping compounds in between the layers of the Acoustic Door increases the loss of transmission.

The Myths:

The STC ratings of these doors are not only meant to judge the quality but they define the requirement for specific sites of use. An STC40 may works good enough in a hotel room but with a home theatre, this rating would not fulfil the purpose of the door.

Also, the purpose of the insulation is to create a barrier from the noises outside. This doesn’t mean that the room will be the most silent place in the world. These Acoustic Doors only deal with the airborne noises. The noises from a neighbour’s garden may still be audible. 

For sites with noise being a problem, the Acoustic Doors are the best possible way to avoid it. Be it a household or a legal requirement, these doors act as the best insulators to negate effect of the noise pollution. The same concept is being treated on windows, walls and ceilings as well.

Ideal Doors offers proper inspections and requirements so that they can deliver a quality acoustic door for house or workplace as a magnificent service.

How to identify a fire proof door?

Each fire door is labeled with a permanent label that must remain legible. Fire-rated frames may have a label from a listing agency. The door and frame labels contain a wealth of information, including the manufacturer, length of time the component is designed to resist fire, whether the opening is to be equipped with fire exit hardware, and whether the door carries a temperature rise rating or is a smoke door assembly. Fire door labels usually include a number allowing manufacturers to access more information about the door’s original construction. Frame labels may state a fire resistance duration longer than that of the door. In this case, the assembly’s rating will be the lower of the two. Some hardware, such as fire exit hardware, will also be labeled, but the information on the label is typically less detailed.
