The Complete Guide to Acoustic & Soundproof Doors

Discover how the right acoustic internal doors can bring peace, privacy, and premium design to your home or workspace.


What Are Acoustic Doors?

Acoustic doors, often referred to as soundproof internal doors, are specially engineered to reduce noise transfer between rooms. They feature solid-core construction, dense materials, and high-performance seals that absorb and block sound vibrations.

At Doorphoria, we supply acoustic internal doors from trusted brands like Deanta, LPD, PM Mendes, and XL Joinery, combining practical noise control with elegant finishes. Whether you’re fitting out a home office, apartment, or studio, these doors are designed to improve comfort and privacy without compromising on style.


How Soundproof Doors Work

Soundproof doors work by increasing mass and sealing gaps — the two main sources of sound leakage. Each acoustic door is built with:

  • A solid engineered core for density and stability
  • Drop seals and perimeter seals (such as Lorient acoustic seals) to prevent sound leakage
  • Optional FD30 fire ratings for combined safety and soundproofing

With the right installation, these doors can reduce noise transmission by up to 33 decibels (dB) — ideal for both residential and commercial settings.


The Benefits of Acoustic Internal Doors

Noise reduction isn’t just a luxury — it’s a quality-of-life upgrade. Here’s why homeowners, designers, and trades choose Doorphoria’s soundproof doors:

  • Peaceful bedrooms – block hallway or shared-wall noise for restful sleep
  • Productive home offices – create quiet, distraction-free work zones
  • Confidential meeting rooms – ideal for professional and commercial spaces
  • Comfort in flats and apartments – reduce sound between adjoining rooms or floors
  • Aesthetic harmony – available in oak, black, white, or glazed finishes

Every door in our range is tested for acoustic performance and built to the highest standards, so you don’t have to choose between style and function.


Fire-Rated & Acoustic Options

For the best of both worlds, many acoustic doors also come with FD30 fire ratings, offering 30 minutes of fire protection alongside exceptional sound control.

Pair your acoustic fire doors with matching frames and ironmongery, and add acoustic drop seals to maximise performance.


How to Choose the Right Soundproof Door

When selecting the ideal acoustic door, consider the following:

  • Core type: Opt for a solid-core or engineered-core door for maximum sound absorption.
  • Finish: Oak, white, and black finishes complement different interior styles.
  • Seals: Always use acoustic or combined fire seals to maintain soundproof integrity.
  • Installation: For the best results, hire a professional joiner — even small fitting gaps can reduce performance.

Our experts at Doorphoria recommend pairing your new acoustic doors with precision-fitted frames and seals for the quietest results.


Design Options: Style Meets Silence
