Timber acoustic doorsets · 40 to 60 dB Rw
Compare SilentDoor timber acoustic doors .
Choose a source level and see the modelled sound level after each timber acoustic doorset. The higher ratings cost more because every extra 5 dB can remove about 68% of the remaining transmitted sound energy when the improvement applies uniformly. Choosing the right timber acoustic doorset can be difficult when comparing acoustic performance, fire ratings, finishes and configurations. Our comparison guide makes it easier to understand the differences between SilentDoor timber acoustic doors and select the right specification for your project.
01 / Source level
Set the noise outside the door.
Output is calculated as source level minus the selected Rw rating. This is a selling aid and engineering explainer, not a calibrated room prediction.

How much sound gets through?
When the source is set to 85 dB, these cards show the simplified output level after each option.
Compare available acoustic ratings, fire performance, door construction, finishes, vision panels, hardware options and other key specification details to help you make an informed decision. Whether you need a high-performance acoustic doorset for a studio, education project, commercial building, residential development or other noise-sensitive application, use our comparison to identify the most suitable SilentDoor timber acoustic door.Power tools / heavy traffic

03 / Why the last steps cost more
A 60 dB door is not “just 5 dB more” than 55 dB.
The final 5 dB step can mean about 68% less transmitted sound energy than 55 dB, assuming the improvement applies uniformly.
A 10 dB step can mean about 90% less transmitted sound energy than 50 dB in the same simplified model.
A 20 dB step can mean about 99% less transmitted energy than 40 dB. That is why mass, sealing, frame detail and hardware become more demanding.
04 / Hear two options
Compare ratings side by side.
Select two conditions and play the simplified audio demonstration. Speakers are not calibrated, so the tool uses a compressed listening scale driven by the calculated output level.

06 / Specify with evidence
Choose the door from the room criteria, then prove the assembly.
Send the source, receiving-room target, wall build-up, fire requirement, dimensions, glazing and hardware needs. SilentDoor can help match the doorset to the project evidence.
