Acoustic Doors

Acoustic doors, which act like sound barriers, are widely used in cinemas, theatre complexes, recording studios, nightclubs, etc., to complement other soundproofing techniques. These days, all doors are expected to have a minimum acoustic property to reduce general noise, similar to walls. The doors are rated based on the sound they prevent from passing through them, with the rating given in dB (decibels) or STC (Sound Transmission Class). Acoustic doors are manufactured in accordance with BS EN ISO 140: Part 3:1995.
