Acoustic Rated
This doorset provides sound attenuation between rooms and spaces.
Non Fire-Rated Acoustic Door Sets
Door sets made-to-order for acoustic isolation in commercial, residential, and industrial spaces. The collection of profiles is specifically for application that do not also require a fire-rating. All sets are tested and certified to hold an Rw (STC) rating indicative of their capability in achieving Sound Transmission Loss from one side of a door to the other. Independent sound measurement test reports from the CSIRO/Acoustic Engineering Laboratories confirm these door sets meet AS1191:2002 & ISO 140.3:1195 acoustic performance standards.
A Sound System
An Acoustic Door Set is the result of a complete system of parts working in tandem. The door leaf, door frame, seals, and the wall it is fitted into altogether create an acoustic barrier. Spence Doors’ specify the door leaf, frame, and appropriate seals together as a tested system.
Performance
Spence Doors’ range of Non-Fire-Rated Acoustic Door Sets are tested to meet the following ratings:
- Single Door (No Cladding): Up to Rw 44
- Single Door (With Cladding): Up to Rw 47
- Pair Door: Up to Rw 42
See Specifications below for more information.
Note
All product images displayed for visual reference feature a mortised / recessed Bottom Seal and a Pressed Metal Frame. All Acoustic Door Sets can have the Bottom Seal face fixed instead for cost efficiency, and a Timber Door Frame for a natural warm finish (for Non-FR and 1HR FR applications).

Components
This is a complete door set comprising door leaf(s), metal or timber frame, and supply of appropriate seals.
All Spence Doors' acoustic door leafs feature a core appropriate to acoustic performance as determined by the core's compositional density.
For doors up to Rw 32, this will include an option from our Flush Panel Door Solid Core range as the likes of Particleboard are high-density materials. For Rw 33+ rated doors, this will include a specialty core expressly designed and tested to resist the passage of sound from one side of a door set to the other.
The frame of an Acoustic Door Set must be compositionally solid throughout. For Non-Fire-Rated applications, this may be a Timber frame or a Pressed Metal frame (minimum 1.6mm thickness) with Spence Doors approved mortar or other material for backfilling. Any of the available timber types and metal types respectively are appropriate for an Acoustic Door Set. The profile of frame is dependent on the particular details of specified door set; some will require a return / inset section in the frame for seals to be fitted whilst others only require surface adhered seals. See Seals for more information.
A typical door set features a 3 - 10mm gap below the door which presents another opportunity for sound to pass through. This bottom-of-door gap is sealed by a Drop Seal / Bottom Seal which covers the gap between the door’s underside and the floor covering. This Bottom Seal may be surface mounted onto the door’s face, or mortised (or semi-mortised) into the door’s underside to stay hidden in applications where aesthetic finish is important. Spence Doors’ Profiling service can prepare the cutout for the Bottom Seal to be made in advance and minimise the time and labour required when installing on-site.
Some Acoustic Door Sets (but not all) address the perimeter gaps in the door set. A typical door set features a 3mm gap along its perimeter (sides and header) which present an opportunity for sound to pass through. This perimeter is addressed by an acoustic seal fitted onto / into the frame to close off the gap and subsequent ability for sound to pass through. This seal comes in three distinct seal types depending on required acoustic and fire-resistant properties.
In a Pair Door, acoustic seals are also required along each of the door’s leading edges. This comes as a result of the gap between doors presenting a new opportunity for sound to pass through. This also applies to Pivot Doors as the non-hinged stiles require a gap for clearance to swing properly. Meeting Stiles come in a number of forms determined by the door set’s acoustic and fire-resistant requirements.
Extras
Internal Frame (RHS)
An internal metal frame to combat bowing in oversized doors. Recommended for doors exceeding 2400mm height or 1200mm width.
Vision Panel
13mm thick vision panel may be fitted into Acoustic Doors. Limits door sets to Rw 38 rating.
