Soundproofing wooden doors materials. Soundproof (acoustic) doors

Coming home after working day, we want to relax and enjoy the silence. But this is not always possible: sometimes the noise from the street or from neighboring apartments is very intrusive. To protect yourself from intrusive sounds and ensure a comfortable stay at home, you need to soundproof your home. Soundproof doors will help with this.

Why do you need sound insulation in an apartment?

Soundproofing is the reduction of the amount of noise that enters the home. It is achieved by sealing walls, windows, ceilings and doors. The noise level is specified in decibels. This characteristic established by state standards and measured with a special device.

It is impractical to install soundproof doors in an apartment if the windows and walls do not have such properties. If you nevertheless decide to protect yourself from noise, then this should be done from all sides.

Soundproofing your home can help you relax, relieve stress, and protect your nervous system from negative influences... Such doors are especially relevant for children's rooms. They will provide your little ones with a calm and comfortable rest.

In addition to smoothing out noise, soundproof doors perform a number of related functions:

  • Anti-corrosion. The insulating filler prevents the development of mold in the sashes of interior doors.
  • Durability. Since "quiet" doors require additional reinforcement, this strengthens their structure. Makes it heavier and more resilient.
  • Keeping warm. Most noise-suppressing materials have thermal insulation properties... They eliminate drafts, restrain the penetration of cold into the apartment.

Thus, by purchasing soundproof doors, you get a few more pleasant bonuses.

Types and materials

Conventional doors are capable of withstanding noise levels up to 30 dB. But if there is a need to improve sound insulation properties door block, soundproofed doors come to the rescue.

Externally, soundproofed models are similar to standard ones, but inside them there are layers of soundproofing material. This could be:

  • Sintepon- rather soft fiber, characterized by high durability. For good sound insulation, it is arranged in several layers;
  • Polystyrene has good soundproofing properties. Release form: granules, sheets or liquid;
  • Mineral wool- fire-resistant material, but capable of absorbing moisture and shrinking over time;

  • Foam rubber- the cheapest raw material, most often used for the door leaf;
  • Splen or acoustic foam. The sound wave, penetrating into it, is lost and does not find a way out. It is glued to the surface with a sticky layer, which provides it with a tight fit;
  • Izolon is also a derivative of foam rubber, but significantly benefits against its background;

  • Styrofoam protects well against noise, but has low fire-resistant qualities. Not the most suitable option;
  • Foamed polyurethane- good soundproofing sheet. Has a high resistance to fire;
  • Vibration filter- multilayer material, which includes bitumen and aluminum foil. Provides tightness, as due to its elasticity it adheres tightly to the surface. This increases its soundproofing ability.

In addition to ready-made soundproofed doors, there are types of soundproofing with which you can independently supplement your usual entrance accessories:

  • Lay the above-mentioned insulating fillers inside the canvas;
  • Install additional panels that are attached to the main canvas. It can be fiberboard, MDF, laminate, lining, leatherette;
  • Establishment of the second door. At the same time, not only the additional canvas, but also the air space between the doors will help to reduce the level of noise entering the apartment.

Additional soundproofing methods

Also, such simple devices will help to increase the effect of noise isolation:

  • Automatic threshold: A magnetic strip is installed in the floor. When the door is closed, it connects to the metal strip in the door itself, which ensures an airtight closure.
  • Door frame. If it is made of metal, then with inside the box is poured with concrete. If made of chipboard, it is used polyurethane foam... The goal is to reduce the gaps between the opening and the frame. According to the standards, their size is allowed up to 1 cm.
  • Sealant located around the perimeter of the doorway. It also achieves hermetic closing of doors. The most used are:

  • rubber bands or pipes;
  • foam rubber (soft yellow tape);
  • isolone ( white, in terms of density higher than foam rubber);
  • silicone contour;
  • magnetic (provides the greatest tightness).

Almost all seals are equipped with an adhesive base, thanks to which they are fixed to the door. The exception is silicone, which is attached with a plastic rib. The seal is the lightest and most effective option to enhance the soundproofing of doors.

Standards

First of all, soundproof apartment doors are designed to inhibit the passage of sound from the street to the apartment.

There are the following types of noise:

  • Airy: is born in the atmosphere and through sound waves passes through an obstacle;
  • Impact: formed as a result of any manipulation (rearrangement of furniture, jumping). It is measured with a "top" machine.

State standards insulation standards have been established for both noise categories.

It is worth mentioning the classes of houses, since each category has its own norms:

  • Class A: superior comfort;
  • Class B: comfort of existence;
  • Class B: Acceptable Conditions.

The suppression of airborne noise is carried out not only by doors, entrance and interior, but also by surfaces of other structures. A special term for sound insulating capacity has been introduced. It characterizes only one design.

It is measured in decibels and is determined by the insulation index:

  • class A room - 54 dB;
  • class B room - 52 dB;
  • class B room - 50 dB.

The impact noise index of an apartment and interior door is:

  • class A room - 55 dB;
  • class B room - 58 dB;
  • class B room - 60 dB.

Noise isolation levels

Noise is a rather unpleasant sound to hear. It irritates the nervous system and is able to unbalance. A person reacts calmly to sounds in the range of 25-60 dB. When exposed to high sound waves of 90 dB for a sufficiently long time, nervous disorders in the form of insomnia and neuroses can develop. At a sound of 100 dB, a person can become deaf.

To protect yourself from strangers negative impacts, choose doors with good sound insulation for your home. They are of the first level and advanced.

The first class includes doors that are able to protect against a noise flow of 32 dB. In comparison, the sound wave of a conversation is 45 dB. Reinforced structures withstand noise levels of 40 dB or more. It all depends on the material of construction.

Doors made using sandwich technology have good soundproofing properties, that is, they have several layers of sound-absorbing material. Plus, on the outside, such products are sheathed in the form of MDF or leatherette panels.

How to choose the right one?

First, decide what you need to isolate. If we are talking about a door for a house, then here, perhaps, option will do its independent soundproofing. The thing is that, according to the standards, the door structure must withstand 26 dB. Thus, if outside the noise level is 60 dB, then 34 dB penetrates into the room. And a sound wave from 25 to 50 dB is considered comfortable for a person. Therefore, for such sound insulation, it will be enough to independently lay an insulating material or reinforce the door upholstery, install a seal or a sealed threshold.

If we are talking about a specialized room (recording studio), then it is better to purchase a ready-made model. To date, manufacturers offer enough wide choose interroom doors to resist noise. Outside, they are like ordinary door structures, can be finished with chipboard, MDF or laminate. But the inside must necessarily contain several layers of insulating filler.

Good reviews about sound insulation properties are received by wooden doors made of oak or pine. Fire protection models also help to reduce the penetration of sound. Their heat insulator is able to suppress sound up to 45 dB.

Separately, it is worth talking about room doors... It is not necessary to install all soundproofing interior doors... It is enough to choose several rooms where it is really necessary. This could be a bedroom or a children's room.

Soundproofing of buildings has great importance for human health and comfort. In particular, noises in the workplace not only affect the -working climate-, but also significantly limit the ability to concentrate and perceive. At high noise levels, soundproof doors produced by MGK-Group provide optimal protection.

They provide pleasant acoustics, reduce noise emissions, increase work efficiency and protect health. Due to the special design of the door leaf, certified insulating material and special door seals ensure optimum sound insulation values. When used as a multi-purpose door, a combination of fire and smoke protection and thermal insulation properties is additionally also possible. Since in reality there are no ideal conditions, 5 dB should be subtracted from the tested sound insulation value. To customize the specificity of the noise source, a wide range of protection from 28 dB to 45 dB is offered for any construction situation. Areas of use of soundproof doors: doors for hotels; doors for offices, in meeting rooms; doors for recording studios.

Soundproof doors and fire doors are similar in design. Colors and all kinds of textures finishing materials used in the manufacture of soundproof and fireproof doors, allow you to solve the most sophisticated design solutions... The standard door leaf thickness ranges from 40 to 59 mm, and the door dimensions allow it to be built into a wide variety of openings.

We produce soundproof doors with the following types of coatings:

  • Finishing Film

If you can't put wooden threshold in soundproof doors, we can offer you automatic soundproof up to 48 db thresholds manufactured by "PLANET", built into the door leaf.

Since various plates are used in the manufacture of soundproof and fireproof doors, doors can only be made smooth, with an overlay infill and with a milled infill. The canvases can be either without a fold (quarter) or a rebate.

In order to isolate the room from extraneous noise, it is recommended to install interior doors with good insulation and sheathe the walls with special sound-insulating panels.

Peculiarities

The following materials can be used for the manufacture of interior doors:

  • solid wood;
  • fibreboard (fiberboard);
  • plastic;
  • metal;
  • glass;
  • mirror.

The most widespread are doors made of solid wood and fiberboard, glass, plastic and metal are used in the manufacture of sliding doors.

Made of fiberboard door leaves the following types:

  • solid canvas;
  • hollow canvas;
  • filler canvas;
  • canvas with glass inserts.

Glass inserts noticeably impair the soundproofing properties of the door. The hollow sheet acts on the resonator principle, which also negatively affects the soundproofing ability of the door.

The highest soundproofing is provided by a solid wood door. Doors made of glass, plastic and metal have the lowest noise suppression properties.

There are ready-made soundproof doors, made on the principle of "sandwich". They provide high level sound absorption up to 26 dB when installed in special boxes with thresholds, but do not always fit into the interior of the apartment.

It is quite affordable to carry out soundproofing of the door in the apartment yourself.

Do-it-yourself soundproofing of interior doors

Right installed door able to reduce the noise level by 12 dB. The use of special materials for its cladding will further reduce the noise level.

Door soundproofing measures include the following steps:

  1. Carefully seal the gaps between the door frame and the wall using sealant.
  2. Trim the door on the noise side.
  3. As a filler, you can use synthetic winterizer, batting, foam rubber, mineral wool. Artificial leather, leatherette and other materials are suitable for upholstery.

  4. It is very easy to insulate the door with modern sound-absorbing panels. They must be glued to the door end-to-end with mastic, and then use any available decorative material as decoration.
  5. Glue the seal around the perimeter. The gap between the door frame and the leaf should not exceed 1 cm. A rubber profile hollow cord can be used as a seal.
  6. Install a sill to reduce noise from under the door.

Special sills are available with sound absorbing effect. You can use a door brush seal glued to the underside of the door.

Sliding interior doors have much worse noise insulation than swing doors... But if certain conditions are met, good results can be achieved, it all depends on the design and installation method.

There are two main types of sliding doors:

  • doors moving inside the wall (disappearing doors);
  • doors moving along the wall.

The best soundproofing properties are “disappearing doors”. Doors sliding along the wall have large gaps so as not to impede their movement.

  1. Reduce the gap between the door and the wall by replacing the skirting board.
  2. Reduce the gap between the ceiling and the door using special carriages.
  3. Reduce the gap between the wall and the door leaf using special door brush seals... They are glued to the platbands and to the strip that hides the track.

Exists ready sliding doors made of "sandwich panels" that have a very high sound insulation coefficient up to 50 dB.

They are heavy, expensive and are usually installed in offices.

Application modern materials and technology allows you to quickly, easily and cheaply perform soundproofing of interior doors with your own hands.

Soundproofing an apartment is one of the important milestones arrangement of living space. If there are usually no questions when soundproofing the ceiling and walls, it is necessary to understand the intricacies of the choice of doors in more detail. This will help improve the comfort of living in an apartment. You should also know how to do the soundproofing of doors with your own hands.

Entrance door

The process of soundproofing the entrance structure is quite complicated. The need to equip the doorway with special materials is especially acute for the residents multi-storey buildings, as well as in front of the owners of metal entrance structures. Carrying out noise insulation of entrance structures allows you to eliminate extraneous sounds that come from the outside.

One of the options for getting rid of noise is to install a new metal-plastic entrance door with sound insulation. Such products consist of several layers, which allows you to completely get rid of extraneous sounds. A high-quality sound insulator is placed in the design of such models. This also applies to modern metal products, which consist not only of a frame and a casing sheet, but have an insulator mounted inside the sash.

Noise insulation materials

Modern models are made from high quality and durable materials. Among the popular sound insulators, the following varieties are distinguished:


Modern entrance structures made of metal-plastic, equipped with special contours and sills. Thanks to such details, the door leaf fits snugly against the frame. This increases the noise insulation properties of the products.

Important! Highly priced models are sheathed artificial leather which also increases the soundproofing of the door.

Ways to perform noise isolation

If it is impossible to replace the door with a newer one, you should pay attention to effective ways self-fulfillment soundproofing works. They can be carried out different ways... It is worth considering each of them in more detail.

Arrangement of the vestibule

Everyone knows that wood is significantly superior to metal in terms of sound insulation. For this reason, the installation of a double design is a cost-effective and efficient solution. The metal sheet is external, and the wooden one is internal. Through the creation air gap between the doors sounds with staircase do not penetrate into the room. Also, in this way, the insulation of the doorway is carried out.

Soundproof seals

In any modern soundproof door, the opening is equipped with a special seal. Today, such products are produced in which there are several layers. This solution provides maximum protection of the entrance door from the penetration of noise.

On modern market there are a lot of contours. They can be made from different materials:

  • Silicone - they are attached in a slot on the box. They can also be installed on the door leaf.
  • Foamed rubber. Similar products are equipped with adhesive base, thanks to which it is quite simple to carry out sound insulation on your own.
  • Thanks to the magnetic circuit, a reliable and tight connection linens and boxes.

Advice! Installation of the contour allows you to provide soundproofing of the door quickly and cheaply. The work can be done by hand.

Upholstery use

Among Russian apartment owners in multi-storey buildings the trend is gaining popularity to upholstery the front door with batting. Due to the use of a thick layer of material, the noise insulation of the doors is increased. You can use an old blanket instead of batting. Upper layer sheathing is made of leatherette. Also, synthetic winterizer and isolon have become very popular. The material must be laid in several layers. To enhance the attractiveness of the door, it is upholstered in faux leather on top.

Do-it-yourself noise isolation

Most of the listed methods and materials can be used for both wooden and metal doors. Often the difference lies in the method of installation or in the layer of material that is installed. Best result in relation to noise insulation, it provides an integrated approach to solving the problem, which implies the use of several types of material.

Installation of the seal

This method of soundproofing is also used for thermal insulation of doors made of wood or metal. When choosing a seal for these purposes, it is necessary to correctly determine its thickness. The latter will depend on the gap between the canvas and the box. If you install a seal with a thickness that will exceed the nominal, then the sash will not close at all. With a small diameter, the problem will remain and the money will be wasted. You can use a regular sheet of paper to determine the gap. It is folded in such a way as to form a strip. It is then inserted into the existing gap and monitored from the outside. After selecting the required thickness, it is necessary to measure the folded paper with a ruler, which will allow you to select the sealant.

Sticking the seal on a metal or wooden structure according to user reviews, it does not cause any particular difficulties. But this must be done so that after a short period the tape does not come off. First of all, the surface with the rim is washed out with water and soapy water... After drying, it can be additionally degreased. If the surface is painted, then it is necessary to use substances that do not interact with the paint, for example, alcohol. If possible, the tape should be glued in one contour so that there is only one docking point.

Note! The design of some doors implies the absence of a rim in the door leaf. In this case, the seal is glued to door frame in the place where the abutment occurs.

Insulation

Most insulation can be used as a soundproofing material, but it is worth remembering that some of them have more absorption of sound than others. For example, regular foam has a lower performance than mineral wool. The latter as well as polyethylene foam are the best options to create a soundproof barrier. The method of mounting on a metal door to create sound insulation may differ from the method of fixing to a wooden structure. If we are talking about the input metal structure, which is used in tandem with a wooden one, then it most often represents metal carcass covered by a sheet of metal.

This design iron door creates ideal conditions for improving its sound insulation. In this case, it is better to choose mineral wool, which in thickness will not exceed the width of the corner from which the structure is assembled. To make it easier to fix the cotton itself and facing material, which will cover the insulation, is installed inside the door wooden lathing... It can be one center bar or several. Depending on how the lathing for a metal door was installed, trimming is carried out mineral wool... It is placed between the bars and is additionally glued to the metal door leaf so that the cotton wool does not shrink. The next step is finishing front iron door with your own hands. For this, trims of lining or laminate are suitable.

Note! The cotton wool should be cut in such a way that it fits into the groove with little effort. Seams between separate elements must be glued.

Foamed polyethylene can also be used for a metal sheet, but it is somewhat more difficult to lay it, therefore it is more convenient to use it for soundproofing a wooden door. The material is usually sold rolled up. The quality of sound insulation will directly depend on the thickness of the foamed polyethylene. It can be glued to a wooden door or fixed with mechanical fasteners. In order to make the door look more attractive after soundproofing, it can be sheathed with leatherette or other material. In some cases, instead of foamed polyethylene, batting or other suitable filler can be used, which is placed on the door under the skin.

Tambour

Creating a vestibule to increase the soundproofing of the front door can also be a way out. In addition, with its appearance, the level of security increases, since an attacker will have to open not one, but several locks. The creation of a vestibule is possible in several ways:

  • installation of the second door close to the first;
  • construction additional wall with the installation of the door.

The first option is less expensive, but possible only if there is sufficient width door slopes... The procedure in this case is implemented by installing the second door in such a way that it does not interfere with the use of the first. Wherein entrance doors should open in different directions. In some cases, you have to partially move the first door in order to more space for mounting the second.

The second option for creating a vestibule is possible if the entrance to the apartment is in a recess on the landing. In most cases, the participation of neighbors will be required. Such actions will need to be coordinated with management company or another body, whose list contains a particular house. Part of the corridor is cut off from staircase by installing a brick wall or fence made of another material that will be able to provide good noise insulation... Another door is installed in the mounted opening. Additionally brick wall can be insulated to increase its sound insulation properties.

If there is a desire to install attractive metal doors with glass inserts, it is worth choosing from models with double-glazed windows. It should also be remembered that the more correctly and evenly the structure is installed, the higher the degree of its sound insulation will be. In the best way the sealing of the canvas is the gluing of polyurethane foam on it. Great option purchases finished product- a door with a sandwich construction. Soundproofed doors have a fairly high price, however, their functionality is worth the investment.

conclusions

As you can see, sound insulation of doors is quite simple if you know the technology of work. It is also important to choose the right materials. If you pay more attention to sound insulation, it will become much quieter in all areas of the apartment. This will increase the coziness and comfort of living.

Noise is a common irritant in human life. He can stalk him at work, preventing him from concentrating, at home, interfering with comfortable rest, in the hotel, where it is produced by the guests' neighbors, and in many other places. For example, according to its purpose in additional noise insulation may need doors in dental offices, executive offices, premises in educational institutions.

To give this property in modern production apply various technologies... For example, interior noise-insulating doors can be made of a solid block of sufficient thickness. Wood, thanks to its sound insulating properties, will leave noise outside. In another case, the door inside is filled with a special material that provides silence in the room behind it. The main thing is that it is not hollow, otherwise the opposite effect will occur, and external sounds will resonate.

However, in residential premises, situations may arise when it is structurally impossible to provide a threshold in the opening, for one reason or another. Then the installation of a canvas and a box, even with improved soundproofing qualities, will not help. In this case, on help will come soundproof door to the room with the system " Smart threshold". She does not require floor mounting, since it is arranged directly in the sash.

System design "Smart threshold"

This sealing system is good for installation in both conventional and reinforced doors. It is automated, which ensures its easy operation when opening the door and high-quality hiding of the lower gap when closing. The distance from the floor to the edge of the blade is filled with an oil seal, leaving no gap. It is equipped metal spring, which raises the seal at the same time as opening the door.

If you decide to buy soundproof wooden interior doors, then the system will be mounted directly into the door leaf. When choosing plastic or glass - it is possible to mount the mechanism externally in the form of a decorative overlay.

Soundproofing the door to guard productive work

Noise is often a negative factor that interferes with focusing on something important. This problem is especially acute for office workers, whose tasks require the utmost concentration. For business owners, when arranging places for such workers, it is important to buy noise-insulating white office doors, which will ensure productive and calm activities.

Those people who often have to be on business trips due to the nature of their work may face the problem of annoying noise in hotel rooms. Considering that there can be more than a dozen rooms in one hotel corridor, walking and loud conversations will be a distraction around the clock. Therefore, the owners of accommodation companies who really care about their guests should think about the fact that soundproof doors for hotels will significantly raise the status of the hotel and attract big number guests from the business community. Not to mention the fact that such an additional option will also appeal to other categories of clients, including mothers with small children or the elderly.
