Door Seals & Soundproofing Tiles: Block Noise Leaks at the Weakest Point
Door Seals & Soundproofing Tiles: Block Noise Leaks at the Weakest Point
Why Doors Are the Weak Link in Soundproofing
Even in well-insulated walls, doors often leak 30–40% of unwanted noise, compromising overall soundproofing performance. Gaps around the door perimeter and insufficient core density allow airborne sound to pass freely, reducing the STC (Sound Transmission Class) of an entire room.
In professional acoustic design, sealing doors and upgrading door surfaces is essential to achieving complete sound isolation.
Door Seals: The First Line of Defense
Door seals eliminate gaps around the door perimeter and base, creating an airtight acoustic barrier.

Types of Door Seals by MMT Acoustix:
Details
1
Bottom Door Seal (Metal + Vinyl)
- STC: 3 dB improvement per sealed door
- Size: 36 x 1.5 inches
- Construction: Aluminium base with high-density vinyl sweep
- Function: Blocks air and noise leakage beneath doors (ideal for offices and bedrooms)
2
Self-Adhesive Bottom Seal (Vinyl)
- Easy DIY application, peel-and-stick design
- Perfect for residential or retrofit installations
3
Perimeter Door Tape (EPDM Self-Adhesive)
- Size: 18 ft roll, 6x9 mm thickness
- Material: Flexible EPDM rubber for tight sealing around frames
- Eliminates side and top gaps in wooden or metal doors
Result: When combined, perimeter tape and bottom seals provide up to 8–10 dB noise reduction for standard doors.
Door Soundproofing Tiles: Engineered Surface Isolation
Even with seals, hollow or lightweight doors transmit noise. Door Soundproofing Tiles by MMT Acoustix add mass and absorption to door panels.
Technical Composition:
BassBloc® Core (20 mm, NRC 0.85): Dense foam layer dampens low-frequency vibrations.
Echsorbix® Felt Outer (9 mm, NRC 0.90): High-performance PET felt absorbs mid-high frequencies.
Combined Result: Converts ordinary doors into STC-rated acoustic barriers.
Size & Installation:
Pre-cut modular tiles for standard door sizes (36 x 80 inches).
Fixed with SR adhesive or mechanical fasteners.
Available in ColourMute shades for aesthetic integration.
Where to Use Door Seals & Soundproofing Tiles
Bedrooms near noisy streets
Home offices requiring call privacy
Apartments with shared corridor noise
Recording studios and rehearsal rooms
Hotel rooms and hospitality suites
Conference rooms and executive cabins
Case Study: Home Office for Sir Nadir Godrej, New Delhi
Challenge
Street-facing home office required privacy during meetings.
Solution
Installed EPDM perimeter seals, bottom door seal, and Echsorbix®-faced BassBloc® door tiles.
Result
Reduced noise intrusion by ~12 dB, enabling a quiet, distraction-free workspace.
Integration with Full Soundproofing Systems
Door seals and tiles complement wall and ceiling soundproofing:
1
Layer : SoundBlanket® MLV
(STC 29–36) installed behind walls.
2
Layer : BassBloc®
(NRC 0.85–0.95) to stop vibration transfer.
3
Layer : Acoustic Panels or Felt Finishes
For internal echo control.
By addressing doors (high leakage zones), overall system performance improves dramatically.
FAQs
A: No. They reduce leakage but must be paired with STC-rated walls and proper flooring/ceiling isolation.
A: Proper seals and soundproofing tiles can reduce 8–12 dB of door-based leakage.
A: Yes. MMT’s self-adhesive seals and modular tiles are designed for easy retrofit installation.
Conclusion: Eliminate Noise at Its Weakest Point
Doors are often overlooked, but they’re critical to achieving true silence. With MMT Acoustix Door Seals and Soundproofing Tiles, you can transform standard doors into noise-blocking acoustic barriers for homes, offices, studios, and hospitality spaces.
