ᐅ Is a soundproof door necessary for the utility room? Any experiences?

Created on: 22 Jul 2018 12:21

Hello everyone,

Our builder has offered us a soundproof door from Hörmann, climate class III / sound insulation class 2 (RwP 37 dB).

We have an internally installed air-to-water heat pump, controlled mechanical ventilation with heat recovery in the utility room, and otherwise the usual installations including a washer/dryer.

Is a soundproof door necessary or useful in this case? It would cost us an additional 200 euros compared to a standard door.

What about the controlled mechanical ventilation with such a door? Would the air be able to circulate, or would the ventilation be affected?

What do you think?

Thank you

Regards

Sky

There are overflow openings in the door frame that solve the problem.

If air passes through, sound will pass through as well. In that case, a soundproof door is pointless.

which is redirected multiple times and is thus noticeably reduced.

In rooms with SK doors, the controlled residential ventilation system naturally requires both exhaust air and supply air. That is quite logical.

Overflow elements help. They do not necessarily have to be in the frame; they are also available from ventilation manufacturers and can additionally reduce noise transmission.

Hello everyone,

a quick update.

After consulting with Stiebel Eltron, the soundproof door is not an issue. The utility room is not part of the ventilation system for the LWZ 304, so a door with sealing can be installed without any concerns. I trust this statement and have ordered the SK2 door.

Best regards

Steffen
