SoundPro Acoustic Door Sets

For spaces where fire rating is not a requirement, our acoustic door sets are an excellent choice. This range excels in controlling sound transmission between spaces, making them ideal for schools, offices, meeting rooms, recording studios, and more.
RW Rating:
  • RW35 – SoundPro 35
  • RW40 – SoundPro 40
  • RW45 – SoundPro 45
  • RW48 – SoundPro 48

Understanding Acoustic Door Ratings: RW35 to RW48

The RW rating of an acoustic door indicates its ability to reduce sound transmission. The higher the RW rating, the better the door will perform in noise reduction.

  • RW35: Ideal for environments with moderate noise levels. This rating is perfect for spaces like shared office areas or smaller meeting rooms.

  • RW40: Suitable for environments where higher sound isolation is required, such as conference rooms and educational spaces.

  • RW45: Provides superior noise reduction, making it the best option for recording studios, high-privacy offices, and residential areas.

  • RW48: The highest level of soundproofing, designed for environments that require complete noise isolation, such as theatres or high-security areas.

Choosing the correct RW rating ensures your acoustic doors meet your specific noise reduction needs, creating the optimal sound environment.

Acoustic Door Sets -Key Benefits

1. Sound Reduction Performance

Each SoundPro Series acoustic door is available in a range of RW ratings (from RW35 to RW48) that allow you to select the most appropriate level of sound insulation for your space. This ensures that your environment stays as quiet and undisturbed as possible, whether you’re in an office, recording studio, or private home.

2. Fire Rating Capabilities

Our fire-rated acoustic doors combine fire protection with soundproofing. With fire resistance ratings of up to 2 hours, these doors provide critical fire protection while maintaining excellent noise insulation. This dual benefit makes them ideal for spaces such as hospitals, hotels, and industrial buildings, where safety and soundproofing are both essential.

3. Customisable Designs

AAFD’s acoustic doors come with multiple design and finishing options. Whether you prefer plywood, laminate, timber veneer, or metal finishes (mild steel, aluminium, or Colorbond), you can tailor your door to fit your aesthetic needs and building decor. Customisation options include glazing apertures and a variety of sizes, ensuring that each door matches your specific requirements.

4. Lightweight Construction

Our acoustic doors are up to 50% lighter than conventional soundproof doors, making them easier to handle, install, and maintain. Despite being lighter, these doors do not compromise on their ability to reduce sound, offering the same high level of performance with enhanced ease of use.

5. Quality Assurance and Certification

Manufactured to meet ISO 9001 standards, our doors undergo rigorous testing for both soundproofing and fire resistance. All doors are tested under Australian Standards, including AS1905 for fire protection, ensuring that they meet the highest levels of quality and safety.

Testing, Certification, and Compliance with Australian Standards

Additionally, acoustically rated fire door-sets are also subject to testing under AS1530.4 2005, certification under AS1905.1 2015 and maintenance under AS1851 2012.
The SoundPro range of doors are tested in accordance with ISO 10140 and their RW calculated in accordance with AS/NZS ISO 717.1, by NATA accredited Resolute Testing Laboratories.
Door-sets are tested by measuring the drop in sound pressure levels between a source room, containing a loudspeaker, and the receiving room containing a microphone.

Fire-Rated vs Non-Rated Acoustic Doors: Which Is Right for You?

Depending on your requirements, you can choose between fire-rated acoustic doors and non-rated acoustic doors, each offering distinct advantages.

Fire-Rated Acoustic Doors

These doors combine soundproofing with fire protection, making them ideal for spaces where both noise control and fire safety are paramount. AAFD’s fire-rated acoustic doors can withstand up to 2 hours of fire exposure, making them suitable for locations like healthcare facilities, industrial buildings, and hotels.

Non-Rated Acoustic Doors

If fire protection isn’t required, non-rated acoustic doors provide excellent noise reduction without the added fire-resistance features. These doors are ideal for spaces such as offices, meeting rooms, and residential areas where the primary concern is noise control.

Both options provide excellent sound insulation, but the decision between fire-rated and non-rated doors depends on your specific safety and soundproofing needs.

Australian Standards:

Our range of fire-rated and non-rated acoustic doors, have been tested in accordance with Australian standard AS ISO 354-2006 to ensure that our doors are manufactured to the highest industry standard.
AAFD Satisfy AS 2107-2000 (2000) Australian Building Standards and is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturing plant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between fire-rated and non-rated acoustic doors?

Fire rated acoustic doors provide both soundproofing and fire resistance, making them ideal for spaces where both safety and noise control are required. Non-rated acoustic doors, on the other hand, focus solely on noise reduction and are suitable for environments where fire protection isn’t a concern.

How do I choose the right RW rating for my acoustic doors?

The RW rating depends on the level of noise control you need. For moderate noise, RW35 may suffice, while higher levels of soundproofing (up to RW48) are required for environments like recording studios or theatres.

Are your acoustic doors customisable?

Yes, our SoundPro Series doors can be fully customised with different finishes, sizes, and glazing options to meet your specific design and functional needs.

How are your acoustic doors tested?

Our acoustic doors undergo rigorous testing under ISO 10140 for soundproofing and AS1530.4  for fire resistance, ensuring they meet the highest Australian standards for both safety and performance.
