In a hectic world, peace and quiet inside your home are essential. Whether it’s loud passing traffic or noisy neighbours, unwanted sound can quickly disrupt comfort and wellbeing.
While many homeowners look to their windows when attempting to manage noise pollution, the front door is often overlooked.
A high-quality composite door plays an integral role in soundproofing your home and reducing noise levels inside. Designed with acoustic performance in mind, Endurance’s composite doors combine strength, security and sound insulation to create a calmer living space.
Why Acoustic Performance Matters in the Home
Loud noise in the home does more than irritate – it can affect sleep quality, concentration and general wellbeing. Homes located on or near busy roads, near schools, train lines or airports can prove a daily challenge.
Improving the acoustic performance at entry points will reduce the amount of sound that infiltrates the home. In the same way that thermal performance is important to keep the cold out, acoustic performance is required to create a more relaxing space.
Your front door is the main barrier between your home and the outside, so making sure your door is equipped to protect your peace is important.
How Sound Enters a Home Through Doors
Sound will breach your home through any gaps, vibrations and weak points in the infrastructure it can find. Traditional front doors like timber and hollow-core struggle particularly in this department, allowing noise to pass through easily if they have poor sealing or have warped over time.
Gaps around the door frame, poorly fitted thresholds and low-quality hardware are all exploited by loud noise.
Solid Core Construction and Sound Insulation
The solid core of our composite door is its greatest defence against unwanted noise. Endurance Doors are built around a high-density, solid timber core, which is far more effective than alternative doors.
This core absorbs and dampens sound waves, reducing the amount of noise that can pass. This improves acoustic performance and enhances security, durability and thermal performance.
