Doors
Custom Isolation Door
Our proprietary isolation door designs have full sound tests from the most accurate acoustics lab in the country in both individual and communicating door assemblies. Each door arrives pre-hung in a jamb to match your wall spec with perimeter full seals included. We can build our doors in any size up to 48" wide and up to 96" tall.
Seal the Door Slab
Every door needs at least an automatic door bottom to seal the bottom gap. It has become common for large adjustable stops to be used for the sides and top, but we found light weight seals to work just as well, if not better. We suggest a combination of the soundproof door bottoms found below as soundproof material for doors.
Seal the Door Frame
The gap between your door jamb and frame needs to be sealed to maintain a high STC rating. Instead of stuffing a lightweight gasket in this gap, we suggest flexible mass to soundproof your door. It usually takes about 5 putty pads and a tube of acoustical sealant per standard sized shop door.
