Product Details & Specifications
The Standard for Sound Control
Haley Bros. Acoustical Doors are engineered to control sound transmission and provide a quiet, comfortable environment. Our doors are rigorously tested and certified to meet the most demanding performance requirements.
What Are STC Ratings?
STC ratings are a single number that determines how successful a door will be at blocking the movement of sound (including partitions and floor-ceiling assemblies). The higher the STC value, the better the rating and the better the performance.
A door’s ability to reduce noise is called its sound transmission loss (TL) effectiveness. TL is a value given in decibels (dB) which is determined by measuring sound pressure levels at a certain frequency in the source and receiving rooms. (See image using STC 39 as a sample.)
These values are fitted to a curve in a method defined by the ASTM E413 Classification Standard for Rating Sound Insulation.
Haley Bros. Architectural STC-rated doors are essential in environments...
Where Noise Disturbs Focus or Privacy:
Offices & Conference Rooms
Educational Facilities
Healthcare Facilities
Hotels & Hospitality
Where Sound Needs to Be Contained (or Kept Out):
Recording Studios & Broadcast Booths
Performing Arts Centers & Theaters
Music Rehearsal Rooms
Industrial & Manufacturing Plants
Data Centers & Server Rooms
Where Specific STC Ratings Are Required by Code or Design:
Multi-Family Residential Buildings
Mixed-Use Developments
Specialized Facilities
To Enhance Overall Comfort & Well-being:
In homes, especially for media rooms, home offices, or bedrooms adjacent to high-traffic areas.
Any unsealed gaps and clearances in door assemblies effectively cancel out the noise reduction benefits of STC rated doors. For example, 1/8″ clearances around the edges reduce the effective rating of an STC-52 door to STC-21!
Haley Bros. Architectural Doors are initially a good sound reducer, however, the door is just one piece of the equation. It is important to use the proper acoustical gasketing combinations to seal the gaps around the perimeter of the door opening. Ultimately, the hardware gasketing and perimeter sealing determine the sound rating that a door achieves.
Gasketing’s importance derives from a fundamental property of sound
Sound waves travel through any opening with very little loss. While the amount of air flowing through a gap increases in proportion with the size of the gap (see Figure 1) the size of the gap in a sound barrier does not matter (see Figure 2.) A tiny hole transmits almost as much sound as a much larger gap.
Our acoustical doors have been tested with hardware packages from National Guard Products (NPG). These packages include:
