Acoustic Doors for Critical Healthcare Environments

Emergency healthcare facilities require doors that can perform across multiple areas of a building specification. Acoustic separation, fire resistance, durability and reliable day-to-day operation can all be important considerations.

For the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, we supplied four SilentDoor Rw® 55T/EI60 acoustic fire doorsets, providing a high-performance solution where both sound reduction and fire protection were required.

55dB Acoustic Performance for Noise Control

In emergency and healthcare environments, controlling noise can help create more suitable working conditions and provide separation between different areas of a building.

The SilentDoor Rw® 55T is engineered to provide up to 55dB acoustic performance, making it suitable for applications where a standard internal door does not provide sufficient sound reduction.

High-performance acoustic doors can be considered for:

• Ambulance stations and emergency response facilities
• Healthcare and clinical environments
• Treatment and consultation rooms
• Staff rooms and welfare areas
• Meeting and briefing rooms
• Control rooms and operational spaces
• Offices within emergency service facilities
• Plant and equipment rooms where noise control is required

Combined Acoustic & Fire Performance

Where a project requires both acoustic separation and fire resistance, selecting a doorset that addresses both requirements can simplify the specification.

The SilentDoor Rw® 55T/EI60 combines high acoustic performance with EI60 fire resistance, making it suitable for applications where fire compartmentation and sound control are both important considerations.

This type of specification can be particularly relevant to healthcare, emergency services, commercial and public-sector buildings where doors form part of a wider fire and acoustic strategy.

Engineered for Demanding Applications

High-performance doorsets need to perform as part of the complete door assembly. The door leaf, frame, seals, hardware and installation all contribute to the final performance of the doorset.

SilentDoor Rw® acoustic doorsets are manufactured for demanding applications where standard doors may not provide the required level of acoustic or fire performance.

A Solution for Emergency Service Buildings

The four SilentDoor Rw® 55T/EI60 doorsets supplied to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance demonstrate how high-performance acoustic fire doors can be specified within emergency healthcare environments.

Whether the requirement is for an ambulance station, healthcare facility, clinical environment or operational building, SilentDoor Rw® provides engineered doorset solutions for projects where sound reduction and fire performance matter.
