Dear forum,
For my condominium, I had originally planned to install soundproof doors (class 1) for the children’s room and bedroom, since these rooms are located near the apartment entrance door off the hallway.
However, the developer pointed out that due to the soundproofing—especially the door bottom seal—the door is quite airtight, and therefore oxygen supply and air exchange would basically only be possible through the window.
What is the expert opinion on this? Is soundproofing class 1 really so airtight that it would negatively affect the indoor air quality, making a soundproof door not advisable for a (passively ventilated) bedroom? Or is this concern negligible, and can I soundproof my bedroom without hesitation?
How many decibels does a standard hollow-core door actually block? For soundproofing class 1, it’s 27 dB, correct?
Thanks and best regards!

What do you mean by solid? The standard would be a hollow core door. Maybe just upgrade to a solid door and, as mentioned before, don’t go for the cheapest option. For everyday use, a standard door is usually sufficient.

SK1 and different spatial feeling??? What nonsense! I have installed SK2 and even an SK4 door! You say my statement is nonsense because you have higher classes at home in connection with a controlled residential ventilation system. What an impressive causal connection.

What exactly is meant by a "hardware store door"?
And does "more solid" mean a chipboard door? Or actual solid wood?
SSK4 sounds pretty serious. How much more expensive is SSK4 compared to SSK3? In my apartment, there is actually 24cm (9.5 inches) of sand-lime brick used towards the hallway and the neighboring apartment. However, I have only had SSK3 installed on the apartment entrance door to improve sound insulation. I initially assumed that would be sufficient?
