What is an acoustic door?
An acoustic door is designed to minimise the transfer of sound between two areas. Unlike standard doors, which are generally built for appearance and basic functionality, acoustic doors use dense internal cores, high-quality seals, and precision manufacturing to reduce gaps and improve sound isolation. These doors are commonly installed in commercial buildings, medical facilities, corporate offices, schools, music rooms, and high-end residential properties. In Sydney, acoustic doors are increasingly popular because they improve comfort, productivity, and privacy.
How do acoustic doors reduce noise?
Acoustic doors reduce noise through a combination of materials and design. The dense core absorbs sound energy, while perimeter seals prevent sound from leaking through gaps around the door frame. The precision construction of the door ensures that every component works together to block airborne noise. When correctly installed, these doors significantly reduce external noise and help maintain a quiet interior environment.
Which type of door is best for soundproofing?
The best door for soundproofing has a solid core and quality seals around the edges. Mass and sealing are the two most important factors. Even a very heavy door will not perform well if the seals around the perimeter are poor. Radiant Enterprise acoustic doors combine dense construction with industry-standard acoustic seals to provide effective sound isolation. They are suitable for boardrooms, medical consulting rooms, bedrooms in multi-residential buildings, studios, and other spaces where sound control is essential.
Does soundproofing a door really work?
Yes, soundproofing a door is effective if the right door is selected and installed properly. Radiant Enterprise acoustic doors are made from high-density materials that absorb and block sound. They also feature high-quality seals that prevent noise from passing through gaps. Businesses can benefit from improved confidentiality, while homeowners can enjoy quieter rooms and reduced impact from external noise. In buildings with multiple tenants, acoustic doors help maintain privacy and reduce disturbances.
How much does an acoustic door cost?
The price of an acoustic door depends on several factors, including the required Sound Reduction Index (RW) rating, whether a fire rating is needed, the size of the door, the type of hardware, and the frame design. Some projects require a complete door and frame system to achieve maximum performance, while others only need a standard acoustic leaf and seals. Because each project is different, Radiant Enterprise provides customised quotes for every job.
What does acoustic style mean?
Acoustic style refers to the performance characteristics that determine how well a door reduces sound. This includes the density of the core, the type of seals, the construction method, and the overall ability of the door to resist noise. Acoustic style is about performance rather than appearance, although the doors can be finished to look like standard internal doors.
What is the difference between soundproofing and acoustics?
Soundproofing is about stopping noise from entering or leaving a space. Acoustics, on the other hand, relates to how sound behaves inside the space, such as echo, reflection, or clarity. Acoustic doors support soundproofing, while interior acoustic treatments like panels or ceiling baffles help manage how sound behaves within a room. Together, they create a comfortable and functional sound environment.
