Key Applications

Sonic Access acoustic doors deliver airborne sound insulation of Rw 46dB (single-leaf) and Rw 45dB (double-leaf), with an Rw 52dB option available for higher performance requirements. They’re specified on infrastructure and building services projects where noise from plant and equipment has to be contained.

Typical applications

  • Data centres and BESS infrastructure

  • Plant rooms and mechanical services areas
  • Pump stations and water treatment infrastructure
  • Power generation facilities and substations
  • Manufacturing and processing plants
  • Acoustic enclosures and equipment housings
  • Control rooms in industrial environments

Performance

Sonic Access single-leaf door 

  • Acoustic rating: Rw 46dB, confirmed by NATA-accredited laboratory testing 
  • Application: Personnel access in high-noise industrial environments. 
  • Typical locations: Plant rooms, mechanical services areas, control rooms, processing facilities, equipment enclosures 
  • Function: Maintains acoustic separation while allowing routine operational access 

 Sonic Access double-leaf door 

  • Acoustic rating: Rw 45dB, confirmed by NATA-accredited laboratory testing 
  • Application: Wide access openings where sound isolation has to be maintained. 
  • Typical locations: Pump stations, substations, water infrastructure, energy facilities, defence projects, manufacturing plants, acoustic enclosures. 
  • Function: Provides large-span access without reducing acoustic performance

Construction

Construction 

  • Heavy-duty internal and external steel face sheets 
  • High-density acoustic core with mass-loaded composition 
  • 80mm overall door thickness 
  • Acoustic performance confirmed by NATA-accredited laboratory testing 

 Sealing system 

  • Dual runner compression seals.
  • Full perimeter frame seal.
  • Resistant to dust, draught and vermin.
  • Maintains acoustic integrity across the full assembly. 

 Structural design 

  • Self-supporting rigid steel frame.
  • Reinforced sectional portal frame.
  • Pin-type hinges.
  • Suits high-load industrial environments

Testing & Compliance

Acoustic verification 

Tested in accordance with AS 1191-2002. Rw determined to AS/NZS ISO 717.1-2004. Testing conducted at RMIT University, a NATA-accredited laboratory. 

  • Single-leaf: Rw 46dB 
  • Double-leaf: Rw 45dB 

Full frequency attenuation data available on request. 

Quality assurance 

Manufactured to relevant Australian Standards. NATA-accredited laboratory test reports, sound transmission loss frequency tables and laboratory verification certificates are available for each door configuration

How To Specify

Customise to fit your project 

We work with engineers, builders and facility managers to specify each Sonic Access door to suit the project. 

Options include 

  • Single or double leaf configuration 
  • SonicFix pre-hung frame system 
  • Vision panels 
  • Door closers and kickplates 
  • Panic bars and single, double or triple-point locking 
  • High security and electric hardware 
  • Powder-coat finish in a wide colour range, or galvanised, aluminium or stainless steel 
  • Project-specific hardware configurations available on request.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Industrial acoustic doors are specialised doors designed to minimise the transmission of noise in industrial settings. They typically feature heavy-duty construction and specialised soundproofing materials to achieve this goal, distinguishing them from regular doors.

    • Industrial acoustic doors employ various soundproofing techniques, such as multiple layers of dense materials, acoustic seals, and specialised construction methods to reduce noise transmission. These features help create a barrier preventing noise from passing through the door effectively.

    • Factors such as the level of noise reduction required, the size and dimensions of the doorway, environmental conditions, and any specific regulatory requirements must be taken into account. Additionally, considerations such as durability, maintenance requirements, and compatibility with existing infrastructure should also be considered.

    • Yes, industrial acoustic doors can often be customised to fit specific industrial environments. This customisation may include adjustments to size, materials, finishes, and additional features to meet the unique needs of the application.

    • The noise reduction ratings of industrial acoustic doors can vary depending on construction materials, thickness and design. However, they typically have high Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings ranging from 40 to 60 or higher, indicating their effectiveness in reducing noise transmission.
