Soundproofing doors of different configuration

Sound insulation doors must be made at the manufacturing stage. But the doors are not all soundproof.

Sometimes people get cheap and they just consist of a box and have no seals. Therefore, insulation of the room door is done entirely by hand.

This process is described below. Also on the video in this article will be presented different versions of the work, and you can see everything clearly.

Soundproofing doors with different designs

The installation of a soundproof door should ensure not only the safety of the room, but also protect it from unwanted noise that can be heard from the landing.

Attention: Today there is a wide range of entrance doors of domestic and foreign manufacturers with good heat and sound insulation characteristics. This all needs to be checked when buying.

• However, often the cost of reliable metal doors is such that not everyone can afford them. As a rule, buyers give preference to domestic products of factory production. In this case, you have to look at the insulation materials. If you use cheap, then you should not just buy them.
• There is also an increased demand for handicrafts models. Products of such a plan are a sheet of steel, on the perimeter of which there is a metal corner. Improved options can be supplemented with stiffeners. Here we must immediately look at all measures for isolation. There should be not just seals, but also the space between the sheets should be filled.

Warning: Steel noise insulation doors check is quite simple. You need to knock on them and you will immediately hear, they are hollow or already insulated in the inside.

Choosing a metal door, you should focus on your own preferences and financial capabilities.

If you need to make soundproofing doors with his own hands, you can resort to the following options:

• Sound insulation door design;
• Installation of an additional door made of solid wood;
• Tambour organizations.

An integrated approach is also allowed: the presence of a vestibule and soundproofing of the entrance door.

Attention: It should be noted that the installation of another door implies additional costs. And here we must also take into account the possibility of its attachment. After all, the layout can be quite different.

• Its presence will help protect against noise outside the door, but the noise of the door itself cannot be eliminated in this way.
• It is advisable to approach the problem in an integrated way. In this case, you can initially make noise insulation of the front door, and the installation of another door to produce over time. But it must be borne in mind that insulation can cost more than installing a quality door.

Types of sound insulation of entrance doors

Soundproofing doors do it yourself, depending on the type of construction:

• If the model of the door is created from the inner and outer metal sheets, then it is considered to be non-separable (the sheet inside is attached to the door frame by welding along the perimeter).
• In this case, it is necessary to produce exterior trim on both sides. To do this, use the sound-absorbing materials offered by the construction market.

Attention: The method of sound insulation should be chosen on the basis of financial possibilities. It is also important to focus on the performance characteristics of the material.

Installation of a soundproof door, which is different collapsible design (sheet metal, located inside, dismantled), as follows.

• Inside the door is placed a layer of soundproofing materials. To remove the gap between the door and the metal sheet, apply the appropriate seals. In some cases, set the door sills.
• Here we must pay attention to the seals. Some do it with a foam tape. But it will not stand for long. Maximum one season.
• It is best to apply the seal in the form of a hollow tube using a self-adhesive tape.
• If sound insulation of doors is made by foam plastic, then it will be necessary to pay attention to the tightness of the foam. All joints will need to foam construction foam.

What materials are used for soundproofing doors

The following materials are used for the exterior finish of the metal entrance door:

• Solid wood;
• Leather in combination with padding polyester or foam;
• MDF plates;
• Laminate (see. Finishing metal doors laminate).

Now we will make a choice on materials:

• First of all, you need to focus on the pricing policy of materials. Here you should not make the purchase of poor-quality Chinese materials, it is better to give preference to European ones, their price is slightly higher, but they will last much longer.
• It is important to consider how the finishing material is fixed to the door leaf. It is undesirable to use nails for this.

The best option for soundproofing the front door

In order to ensure that the metal doors are soundproofed with high quality, it is preferable to use a rolled heat insulator with a self-adhesive base.

• In this case, for the decoration of the door, you will need to finish the materials with noise insulation characteristics.
• You can use leatherette, which is presented in various colors and texture variations, so without any problems you can choose the best option that fits into the interior. Masters recommend sticking a leather substitute with Dragon glue.

How to perform insulation doors

To make the doors soundproof, you must immediately prepare the right tools and the right materials.

Namely:

• Electric drill;
• Drills for metal;
• Handsaw on wood;
• Scissors;
• Hammer;
• Knife;
• Screwdriver set (you can use a screwdriver);
• Glue;
• Flat head screws;
• Stapler and staples.

A number of tools can be supplemented or, conversely, reduced. It all depends on which soundproofing method is chosen.

• Before carrying out the work, it is necessary to dismantle such door parts as the peephole and the door handle.
• If the door is insulated with a non-separable structure and a material with a self-adhesive base is used, the surface of the web must be prepared in advance. It should be cleaned of dirt and degreased using a special tool.
• Next you need to glue eco-leather or other decorative material. Before the glue "Dragon" will be applied, it must be diluted with technical alcohol.
• Distributed such a tool on the inner surface of the material, whose task is to isolate noise.
• After the glue dries, you can proceed to the final stage: the installation of add-on parts.

Noise isolation folding door

Steel doors soundproof good manufacturers already go on sale fully equipped with sound insulation. But there are just collapsible kits for sale.

For carrying out sound insulation of an entrance folding door other materials are involved. The technology of work also differs from the previous method.

 So:

• The inner sheet of the door must be removed. Then the cavity must be filled with soundproofing filler. In order to secure it, use glue Moment, PVA. Liquid nails are also suitable.
• The clearance between the outer sheet and the frame can be removed by means of silicone sealant. Identical work is carried out in the case when the inner sheet of the door is already installed.
• If it is necessary to soundproof a metal entrance door without an internal sheet, wooden mounting strips and a plywood sheet are used. Soundproofing doors of such a plan will be as follows.
• A frame is constructed from the rails, which is subsequently mounted inside the door and fixed with screws through the holes made in the corner.
• This is followed by the installation of sound insulation material.
• A plywood sheet is applied over the interior of the door. To attach a coating for the decor, you can use any suitable method.
• The final stage includes the installation of the handle and door peephole.

To ensure reliable sound insulation of the entrance door, you must follow all the above recommendations. Soundproofing doors and windows should be done together, only then you will achieve the desired effect.

Moreover, everything can be done completely with your own hands, look at the photos, draw up a plan of work and proceed boldly.
