Finding the right soundproofing option for a door is hardly an open and shut case. There are hundreds of companies selling soundproof materials and it’s practically a full-time job trying to sort them all out. They all sell soundproofing materials for doors but they don’t all make the complicated process of choosing soundproofing material less confusing.

When it comes to blocking sound from entering or exiting a space, it's important to make your room as airtight as possible, which means soundproofing the door. The problem is that doors are not airtight – instead, they're typically hollow and are surrounded by small gaps that allow sound to pass directly in and out of your space. In order to stop sound transmission, these gaps need to be filled and excess noise needs to be absorbed.

TIPS TO SOUNDPROOFING DOOR

• Seal door crevasses/seams
• Make sure seals are airtight (If air can get through so can sound)
• Add mass to doors to reduce sound transfer
• Adding isolé® reduces sound pressure levels in the room as well as reducing sound transfer
