Door Seals are a critical part of every soundproofing
project. Sound leaks from windows and doors are some
of the largest problems when creating a sound controlled
environment.
Unsealed
gaps and clearances in door assemblies effectively cancel
out the soundproofing qualities of the highest-rated
acoustical doors. A 1% opening around a door will allow
up to 50% of the sound to pass through that opening.
Consider this, a 1/8” opening around all four
sides of a door will reduce the effective rating of
an STC 52 door down to an STC 21 – guaranteeing
very poor acoustical performance.
Our acoustical door gaskets close off these clearances
or openings. Our acoustical door seals include an automatic
door bottom, which is spring operated, dropping a neoprene
seal onto a threshold and effectively sealing off the
bottom of the door. In addition to that, we offer high-grade
neoprene door jambs for the vertical sides and top of
the door. Packaged door seal kits are also available.
These acoustical door gaskets can be retrofitted to
an existing door or applied to a new door.
