There are many situations in which an acoustic door is necessary. At Groupe BOËT, this is our business: we manufacture acoustic doors! Whether for meeting rooms, medical practices or music studios. Soundproofing depends on several parts of the door, particularly the leaf. If the latter is solid, the insulation will be more effective.
All about acoustic doors
It’s important to know that any type of door can be acoustic, whether armored, fire-rated or insulated. Acoustic doors protect against external noise and nuisance. An acoustic door block is even more effective than a standard model. It will reduce noise considerably.
To better understand how this element works, it’s worth detailing the characteristics of an acoustic door for professionals. First of all, to stop sound properly, you need a door with a certain mass. A simple hollow door won’t stop noise. For this reason, the door must be rigid, solid and flat. The rigid aspect will act as a sound damper. The frame is also important for insulation. Solid wood or metal are good insulators.
If your business is poorly insulated, it goes without saying that replacing the door is not the first priority. In this case, it’s better to start with the floor, walls or ceiling. However, investing in soundproofing a door may be worthwhile if you regularly hear other people passing by or other outside noises, or if you don’t want to disturb the neighborhood with noise pollution.
If you have a medical practice or a music studio, it’s essential. In fact, for recording and rehearsal rooms, it’s indispensable for all these reasons:
- the sound will be clearer
- no vibrations or floating echoes
- noise is reduced for different frequency ranges (high, medium or low).
Thanks to Groupe BOËT, it’s possible to install a made-to-measure acoustic door, including a sliding door. Our company has specialized in acoustic treatment for some sixty years.

The BOËT Group offers acoustic doors to combat sounds of 80db or more. This value can cause long-term health problems, especially if you’re exposed to it for a long time. Noise absorption is crucial to avoid such problems. So it’s a good idea to analyze your space and the surrounding environment, and choose the door best suited to your professional environment. You need to consider the Rw factor, which should be as low as possible.
