Acoustic Rated Doors

The Importance of Acoustic Steel Doorsets

Whether in the office, in public buildings or at home: sound insulation is of great importance for the health and well-being of people.

Noise and loud sounds, especially in the workplace, significantly influence the "working atmosphere". They can also limit the ability to concentrate, as well as the ability to absorb significantly. Some obvious applications are in heavy engineering factories or theatres and cinemas, but acoustic doors are being specified more and more in an increasingly noisy world. The doorset is measured by its ability to reduce decibels from any particular noise generated.

For optimal performance, well-being and healthy sleep, people need rest and proitection from excessive noise in the workplace. A conventional door can only partially swallow the noise entering from the corridor or from other rooms. For this reason, there is the specific soundproof door which can often be combined with high levels of thermal insulation and security too which is also useful in many applications.

Application Types & Installations

The Steel Acoustic door range can be used as exterior and interior doors, and Samson are able to install acoustic steel doorsets for any industrial areas, including:

• Warehouses

• Factories

• Cinemas, theatres and concert halls

• Conference rooms

• Public buildings and test facilities

• Housing and apartments

Of course, acoustic doorsets are not limited to only industrial and commercial environments.

With a sound-absorbing door, two functions can be fulfilled: on the one hands the noise protection from the inside to the outside, e.g. in rooms with high noise levels.

On the other hand, they can keep the noise outside to keep quiet areas undisturbed, for example in residential locations or office buildings.

The tightly insulated door leaf of a soundproof door is designed in such a way that optimum sound insulation is achieved by means of special gaskets.

Depending on the equipment, Steel Acoustic door, have been tested in accordance with DIN EN 20140 / 717-1, achieves outstanding values up to a high-attenuation 57 dB (decibels).

Teckentrup Steel Acoustic Doors

The Teckentrup acoustic steel doorsets have been manufactured to prevent the spread and volume of sound emitting between the door leaves.

They are perfect for working environments where a busy, noisy location is located near rooms where more quiet is required.

Available for both internal and external use, Teckentrup's acoustic doors are also perfect for the home as they effectively prevent sound spreading in both directions, keeping noise out from outdoors, and vice versa for privacy. This is achieved as a result of the steel skin leaves, frames, and open cell insulated cores and fillings.

Such capabilities have led to the door being tested alongside DIN EN 20140 and DIN EN ISO717 Part 1. The doors can be fitted in sizes up to 3000mm x 3000mm, in various finishes and in any RAL colour.
