The control of sound
Acoustic Doorsets
The Soundcel range of steel doorsets has been developed
using mineral wool or honeycomb cores to meet specific
acoustic performance requirements. The range has been
independently third party tested ensuring the performance
characteristics of the doorset.
Performance
The effects of acoustic privacy and nuisance noise are
subjective and influenced by background noise, distance
from sound source and general context, amongst others.
When considering walls containing doors, it is the combined
performance of both elements that is relevant, clearly the
proportion of door to wall area is particularly important.
Fitzpatrick offer a total engineered metal doorset solution that
provides very effective sound reduction for areas with high
noise levels, such as plant or generator rooms. With complete
engineered doorsets, all components are factory-assembled
to the closest tolerances and thoroughly tested to ensure
that required performance levels are successfully achieved.
Preparation, installation and best practice on-site are also
crucial elements in the process to stop sound leakage.
Acoustics is a complex field and a wide variety of
performance levels sometimes referred to including NR or
NC levels and dBA, DwdB and STC. Acoustic performance
for doorsets should always refer to RwdB. It should be
remembered that performance values quoted for products
and ranges are based on laboratory test results; on-site
testing will generally produce lower results.
