Soundcel - Acoustic Doors

The Soundcel range of Steel Doorsets has been developed using mineral wool or honeycomb cores to meet specific acoustic performance requirements. The range has been independently third party tested ensuring the performance characteristics of the doorset.
Performance

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

Fitzpatrick offer 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 and a wide variety of performance levels sometimes referred to including NR or NC levels and dBA, DwdB and STC. Acoustic performance for doorsets should always refer to RwdB. 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.
