Acoustic Doors

Our acoustic doors are specifically designed to reduce sound and help to keep nuisance noise to a minimum, with the additional durability and security of steel.

Acoustic Steel Door Applications

Typically, acoustic-rated steel doors are used in buildings and rooms within the commercial, industrial, retail, or leisure sectors; however, education and media centres, particularly those with theatres and production rooms, can also benefit from acoustic doors.

The following dB reduction ratings provide a guide to the levels of noise reduction our Defender Soundguard can provide:

Single Door Acoustic Ratings:

Soundguard 35: Rw35db – Loud speech audible but difficult to distinguish

Soundguard 38: Rw38db – Loud speech faintly audible but difficult to distinguish

Soundguard 42: Rw42db – Loud speech faintly audible but cannot be distinguished

Soundguard 47: Rw47db – Shouting audible but cannot be distinguished

Soundguard 52: Rw52db – Shouting barely audible

Double Door Acoustic Ratings:

Soundguard 35: Rw35db – Loud speech audible but difficult to distinguish

Soundguard 38: Rw38db – Loud speech faintly audible but difficult to distinguish

Soundguard 42: Rw42db – Loud speech faintly audible but cannot be distinguished

Soundguard 45: Rw45db – Shouting audible but cannot be distinguished

Soundguard 47: Rw47db – Shouting barely audible

Acoustic-Rated Security Doors

In addition to reducing noise levels, acoustic security doors, such as the Defender Safeguard, also protect against attack. Available in a wide range of sizes and configurations, they offer the same protection as our other steel security doors, and come with ‘fitter friendly’ bolted corners and galvanised material throughout.
