55dB Acoustic Doors for Defence & Military Facilities

Defence and military facilities can require high levels of acoustic separation between operational, administrative and specialist areas. Controlling sound transfer can help maintain privacy, reduce disruption and support the effective operation of sensitive environments.

For a confidential UK defence project, SilentDoor Rw® 55T/NFR acoustic doorsets were supplied to provide enhanced sound reduction within the facility.

Acoustic Performance for Sensitive Environments

Where rooms are positioned alongside busy operational areas, offices or other occupied spaces, acoustic doors can form an important part of the building's overall sound control strategy.

The SilentDoor Rw® 55T provides 55dB acoustic performance, making it suitable for a range of applications where increased sound separation is required.

Potential applications within defence and military facilities include:

• Secure offices and administrative areas
• Briefing and meeting rooms
• Control and monitoring rooms
• Operations rooms
• Technical and engineering spaces
• Staff and welfare areas
• Training facilities
• Communications and specialist rooms

Concealed Hardware & Clean Integration

The doorset incorporates concealed hinges and a concealed door closer, providing a clean and discreet appearance while maintaining the functionality required for regular use.

Concealed hardware can be particularly appropriate for specialist facilities where the door design needs to integrate seamlessly into the surrounding environment.

Non-Fire Rated Acoustic Doors

The NFR configuration provides enhanced acoustic performance where fire resistance is not required as part of the doorset specification.

This allows the acoustic specification to be focused on the requirements of the individual application, without adding unnecessary fire performance where it is not required.

Acoustic Doors for Defence Applications

This confidential project demonstrates how 55dB acoustic doors can be incorporated into demanding defence and military environments where sound reduction, discreet hardware and reliable everyday performance are important considerations.

SilentDoor Rw® acoustic doorsets are available in a range of acoustic ratings and configurations, allowing the specification to be tailored to the requirements of different areas within defence, military and other specialist facilities.
