Soundproofed doors. Noise insulation of interior doors

Sound insulation can be used to reduce the level of noise entering the room from the street and from the next room. Increasingly, in apartments and private houses, not only entrance doors, but also interior doors with sound insulation are installed. Soundproofing will help get rid of extraneous noise, which will have a positive effect on the comfort level of the residents of the house. It is not necessary to change every door in the apartment for a soundproof one, existing structures can be simply modernized.

Sound-absorbing interior doors can be different design, such designs may differ from each other by the method of opening and the material of manufacture, the same applies to the dimensions. Features - the presence of seals both inside and around the perimeter of the entire product, which ensures its good fit to the box.

Despite the external similarity with the usual structures, the internal filling of noise-absorbing structures has its own characteristics. Soundproofing doors can be done using:

  1. corrugated cardboard sheet - the most budget material that loses its properties in the very first years of use;
  2. mineral wool - creates a non-combustible plane, but during operation, due to the formed voids, it cannot fully contain the noise;
  3. foam board- along with high soundproofing performance, it also has its drawbacks, for example, it is a rapidly flammable material that is dangerous by the release of toxic gases;
  4. foamed polyurethane - keeps noise and extraneous sounds, while meeting all the requirements fire safety.

The sound absorption level of noise-insulating doors is 27-40 dB, which is determined by the quality and quantity of the filler. So, thin and lightweight construction is not able to get rid of external noise, so it is worth putting a door with more reliable protection.

Additional methods of soundproofing

As effective ways soundproofing improvements can be applied:

  • glass insert;
  • gluing on the door frame sealing tape;
  • installation of double-layer glass doors with an air gap;
  • use of special brushes to keep noise.


Interior door structures with a high degree of noise insulation are presented in a large assortment and can perform a number of additional functions... For example, the thresholds in doorways will help not only to reduce the level of external noise, but also to keep the warmth inside the room. But they can interfere with the smooth movement of the apartment. In this case alternative option there will be "hidden systems". You can reduce the noise level by using:

  1. A rubber sill, which will allow you to close the gap under the canvas, while the opening-closing process will become much easier.
  2. System " smart threshold»Completely insulates the gap under quality doors when they are closed, but in case of opening, a mechanism is activated that makes the seal layer rise to the desired height. Thanks to this design, drafts will be excluded in the room.


If you wish, you can do good sound insulation and on old doors, following the diagram below:

  • The door frame should be in tight contact with the wall; you will need a sealant to cover the holes.
  • We process the soundproofing sheet on both sides special mixture.
  • As decorative finishing the soundproof door uses leatherette nailed onto small nails.
  • To close the gap between the canvas and the box, a seal is glued.
  • Installation of flexible or "smart" threshold.

Design features for interior doors

The basis of noise-insulating door designs takes plastic, metal, glass and fiberboard plates... Wood and similar materials fit for swing doors, and plastic and metal for sliding products. With the help of the latest models, it is impossible to fully protect the room from penetrating sounds.

Doors to an apartment with a frame with MDF and chipboard sheathing are offered of a similar quality. This technology workmanship is typical in to a greater extent for old-style constructions, now the models are equipped with a cardboard insert filled with honeycombs, which, due to their elasticity, retain extraneous noise.


Doors made of natural wood.

Decorative inserts made of glass and mirrors reduce the level of sound insulation, therefore, the optimal glazing is considered to be up to 20% of the total area of ​​the canvas. To improve protection performance, it is better to install a double or triple structure. Hardwoods can reduce noise penetration by about 20 dB. Even if there are no sound-absorbing materials in the structure, wooden doors will be considered soundproof.

Achieving complete sound insulation is possible in the case of a minimum gap from the box to the canvas. As an example, there are structures that have a double rebate with a protruding groove and a layer of polymer sealant.

Advantages and disadvantages

Sound retention is not the only purpose of noise-insulating products, they are endowed with a number of related functions:

  1. Prevents corrosion of structures. Thanks to the insulating filling, the interior doors are protected from the growth of mold and other pathogens.
  2. Strengthening the structure.
  3. Thermal insulation of the room. Almost all soundproofing fillers retain heat by closing cold bridges and preventing drafts.

Installing such a door will allow you to solve several problems at the same time.

How to choose

When choosing doors, it is important to pay attention to the following characteristics:

  • material;
  • the structure of the door leaf;
  • facing elements;
  • thickness of the structure.

The most the best material for making noiseless interior doors is the tree. So, solid wood the interior door leaf is able to drown out external sounds of 10-15 dB. When using shields with an internal cavity, the opposite effect is possible - the resonance of sounds will begin, which will lead to an increase in the penetration of noise into the room.

To solve this problem, it is advisable to use special filler materials. In a similar way, the noise insulation of plastic or metal structures, the purpose of which is not intended to provide silence.


As an additional protective means you can apply metal foil with a soft backing. Such a sandwich reflects sound waves well and does not allow them to penetrate inside.

If the installation metal doors is a prerequisite, then sound insulation is performed not only internal filler, but also an external cladding for the aesthetic appearance of the product. Any kind of wood trim looks attractive - solid wood, MDF, lining. Craftsmen often make faux leather upholstery, which will look good against the background of the interior and reduce the noise level.

Features of the choice by the way of opening

The level of noise protection depends on the type of door structure. Plastic door is considered the worst soundproofing structure. Roller shutters with aluminum (wooden, plastic) slats do not cope with this task. Also, do not rely on sliding ones, the accordion is not able to absorb sound.

How to do it yourself


You can make high-quality sound insulation of an interior door yourself, for this it is sheathed with acoustic materials stuffed with filler so that there are no cracks and gaps. All work is done simply, you just need to follow the suggested instructions:

  1. Upholstery material. You can use natural leather, leatherette, vinyl and other similar products. Special boards with an adhesive layer are well suited, which makes them easy to stick to the canvas.
  2. Filling: batting, synthetic winterizer, foam rubber. For fire safety purposes, experts recommend using mineral wool, which absorbs extraneous noise and does not support combustion.
  3. All cracks in the box and walls are filled with sealant.
  4. Upholstery with a soft sound-absorbing pad is nailed onto one or both parts of the canvas.
  5. Bonding the seal. The material should not fall into the gap, it serves to close it. A minimum distance should be maintained from the web to the sealing tape - no more than 10 mm.
  6. Installation of a sill or seal to the bottom of the doors.

Thus, do-it-yourself soundproofing of interior doors will help get rid of extraneous sounds in the room. However, the doors will not be able to provide complete silence, for this it will be necessary to additionally work on the walls, ceiling, floor and windows.

Sometimes it happens that there is an elevator shaft next to the apartment. In this case, residents are faced with such a problem as the noise from the operation of the elevator. This also applies to apartments located on the first floors of the building, where there is a lot of human traffic.

In this case ideal option will install an entrance door with elevated soundproof characteristics... Typically, such doors are distinguished by a more serious filling of the leaf and insulation of the box. As such materials can be used:

  • mineral wool slab (pressed mineral wool);
  • polyurethane foam (void-free filling);
  • mineral wool;
  • combined filling (combined use of the above materials).

It is also worth paying attention to the thickness of the door leaf and the exterior finish. The higher this indicator, the better. Additionally protects against the penetration of noise into the room - use in external MDF finish panel, which is able to additionally dampen sound vibrations.

One of the main functions of interior doors is to protect the room from the penetration of extraneous noise or, conversely, to reduce the noise coming from the room. Therefore, each door can be considered to a certain extent soundproof.

Types of soundproof doors

If you need increased anti-noise properties, you will need special soundproofing, which are offered by many manufacturers to buy.

Such canvases externally do not differ from standard ones, but inside they have a filling of noise-insulating materials.
For this, pressed mineral wool, multilayer chipboard with tubular cavities, soundproofing films and other soundproofing materials are used.

Where are special soundproofing interior doors required?


For apartments and private houses, as a rule, ordinary veneered interior doors made of wood with a sealing contour on the frame are quite sufficient. You can buy such interior doors with natural or artificial veneer in the online store of the Porta Prima factory. They meet sound insulation standards and prevent loud sounds from entering the room.

Interior doors with high soundproofing characteristics are usually installed in hotels, hospitals, educational institutions, recording studios and other organizations where it is necessary high level acoustic sound insulation.

How to soundproof a door to a room?


The question of how to soundproof an interior door worries many. You may need to increase the soundproofing level if you are playing at home on musical instruments, love listening to loud music or want to equip a recording studio at home. protect the room from extraneous sounds worse than deaf structures. Therefore, in the bedroom, nursery and other rooms where sound insulation is important, it is better to install doors without glazing. If you want to install a curtain with glazing and achieve good sound insulation, choose models with triplex glass.

For best protection from extraneous noise door block it is worth additionally completing with a seal and a threshold. V otherwise extraneous sounds will penetrate through the slots along the perimeter of the canvas into the room. Instead of a threshold, you can install a brush seal in the lower end of the door.
It is important to remember that when deciding how to soundproof the door to a room, one must not forget about soundproofing the walls. This is especially necessary if the room does not have thick capital walls, but lightweight interior partitions.

If it is necessary to reliably protect against noise, it is possible to improve the soundproofing characteristics of the door leaf by using soundproofing materials for the doors. The most simple, inexpensive and efficient way- upholstery the canvas on one or both sides with leatherette or natural leather with a thick layer of batting or padding polyester.

And if the thickness of the opening allows, then you can install a vestibule of two doors. Air gap will dampen sound waves and reduce noise.

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 production of 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 a high level of sound absorption up to 26 dB when installed in special boxes with thresholds, but they 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

A properly installed door can reduce noise levels 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 door frame and a wall.
  2. Trim the door on the noise side.
  3. As a filler, you can use synthetic winterizer, batting, foam rubber, mineral wool. Suitable for cladding artificial leather, leatherette and other materials.

  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 sound insulating properties possess “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.
