Door Soundproofing | Acoustic Shop UK

Door insulation and soundproofing
Standard doors in a home insulate only voice and normal noise levels. But it comes to loud music or other loud noises, the soundproofing of a door is not that great. With a few simple steps and soundproofing products you can soundproof any door against incoming and outgoing noise and sound.

How to soundproof a door
Take the door out it's hinges and place it on a flat surface. Remove the door handle and clean the door thoroughly. Next take the contact adhesive and apply it on the doors surface and on the Isomat TS sheets. We recommend to use the Isomat TS with a weight of 14 kg/m². If the door can handle all the extra weight, apply Isomat on both side for the best result. Keep in mind that Isomat is heavy you might need to install a few extra hinges.

When the glue has dried for a minute or two you can apply the Isomat. Make sure no air bubbles are trapped between the Isomat and the door. Give the Isomat a couple of knocks so it is fixed well to the door. Now you can put the door handle back in place and hang the door back in place.

Drop down seal, a part of soundproofing a door
To avoid any sound leak we recommend to use a drop down seal. A drop down seal such as the Elton EllenMatic does not only stop the sound leakage, but it also prevents drafts across the floor.
