Хорошие входные и межкомнатные двери – не только aesthetics and home comfort. This lack of drafts and silence. But often only good and expensive designs can boast of such characteristics. On models of lower price segment options such as sound insulation, may be absent. But you can always upgrade the structure with your own hands.
Sound insulation of a door is an uncomplicated process that will help to create a real comfort in a house or apartment. Let's look at how to do this.
In an ideal situation when you need to buy immediatelychoose a good noise-proof model. But if you buy a good door did not work, then you have to do everything with your own hands. To protect the canvas from noise, mainly various soft, loose or hard materials are used. Often they serve as insulation. Soft sound-proofing materials over time settle. This is not the best impact on protection from noise.
It can also affect the appearance of the canvas.(if it's upholstery). Loose sound absorbing substances are not always suitable. If the door soundproofing is done by hand, then there are several materials available for this. Well suited for noise protection polystyrene. He does not miss the sounds and cold. It can be supplied in the form of granules or a liquid mixture. Also isolated sintepon. It is quite soft, has high wear resistance. Its main advantage is the low price. But to get a good result, you need to stick the padding polyester with a sufficiently thick layer. Another low-cost option is foam rubber. It is suitable for work on the upholstery of the door leaf, and as an internal filler. Also, using foam rubber can be sealed joints.
Izolon is a more modernized analogue of foam rubber.It has a high density and improved performance, however, its price is much higher. Widely used for sound insulation mineral wool. It is quite soft and is widely used in the compaction of voids, cracks and joints. Over time, this material may shrink. Also, mineral wool well accumulates moisture, but it is reliably protected from rotting and reproduction of various insects. For work on sound insulation and foam. Sheets are often used, but the product is also produced in the form of granules. This is a good and affordable soundproofing material, but it differs in average.
Modern entrance doors can be of two types -with inner lining and without it. If the product costs less than 15 thousand rubles, then the skin is easily dismantled. Door panels without any finishing inside are much more reliable. But they miss any sounds. Sound insulation of the entrance door should begin with work on dismantling the trim from the inside. On most designs, it is fixed on the screws. On the old doors, it can be installed on decorative nails, so it can be easily removed.
You can still find the door leaf,decorated with leather or leatherette. If necessary, this upholstery can be changed or left unchanged. It does not affect the level of sound insulation.
Before disassembling the door structure,unscrew the handle and remove the cover. It is also advisable to dismantle the lock cylinder. This is necessary if it is installed covertly, but you can not do this. If the door is equipped with a push handle or other automatic systems for closing, it is better to lock them. Soundproofing the door usually begins with the removal of the old decorative coating. On most metal structures under the upholstery layer, you can see the transverse elements of the profile pipe, attached by spot welding, and the crooked beams of wood. If these components are already rotten, and the metal is rusted, then they can be safely removed, and the steel should be carefully cleaned with sandpaper or treated with a zinc converter. Some models are covered inside with a hardboard sheet. We also extract it outside.
В большинстве моделей дверей в качестве Sound absorbing material used mineral wool or felt. All this is attached directly to the hardboard. Along with the available materials, you can use special tools. These are seals that are used in car noise insulation.
Since the soundproofing of the metal doorcarried out with the use of special materials, the approach to the installation will be special. Installation should be carried out only after high-quality cleaning of the surface of the canvas. Alcohol, kerosene or acetone is recommended for its degreasing. Sound absorbing materials are best installed using specially designed adhesives. Do not save on them. Sound-absorbing plates and sheets should be as flat as possible to the surface of the metal sheet.
This is an important point.Without high-quality processing of seams the door sound insulation will not be complete. At the joints, in places where the sheets are interconnected, it is recommended to seal and damp these areas. Perfect for this special sealant. With it, you can quickly process the metal front door.
This point should be given special attention. If the lock has an open structure, it is worth laying these areas with sound insulation materials. Clearances are easily filled with foam.
Теперь звукоизоляция входной металлической двери almost over. Additionally, it is recommended to lay a heater under the dermatin. Hardboard can be installed on the screws, even if it was attached with nails. Now it remains only to purchase door seals and install them on the box and door leaf. Also close all the slots of the door unit.
Soundproofing interior doors help createmaximum comfort and coziness in an apartment or house. But this process is performed a little differently than in the case of input structures. Here you need to try to seal the joints. Cloths of such structures are rarely subject to serious modifications. To protect against noise, you must purchase and set a threshold. It must be combined with the door leaf in the closed state. On the perimeter of the door frame is recommended to glue the seal.
Of course, you can immediately get good doors withgood sound insulation, but it is expensive and not always possible. But if you make a little effort, you can get the same level of noise protection for cheaper door blocks.
