Sound Reduction Metal Door

General Information

Fitzpatrick’s sound reduction metal doors have been developed using mineral wool to meet specific acoustic performance requirements. Certain products within the acoustic doors range also offer fire resistance.

Fitzpatrick sound reduction doors can be manufactured in stainless steel or galvanized steel, frames are manufactured from 1.5mm or 2mm sheet thickness depending on the acoustic performance, while leaves are manufactured from 1.2mm or 1.5mm thickness.

They are available in either a primed or powder coated finish to any available RAL color and can be manufactured in many sizes and many configurations to suit the architectural design of the protected area.

Performance

The effects of acoustic privacy and nuisance noise are subjective and influenced by background noise, distance from sound source and general context, among others. When considering walls containing doors, it is the combined performance of both elements that is relevant, clearly the proportion of door to wall areal is particularly important.

Fitzpatrick offers 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 of a wide variety of performance levels.

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.

Testing

Fitzpatrick sound reduction doors have been successfully tested at Intertek and SRL laboratories to achieve the STC39, STC40, STC41, STC42, STC43, STC44, STC45 sound reduction performance.
