Product Details:

Key Features of AMBICO’s Acoustic Steel Doors & Frames Assemblies:

• Acoustic Performance: The performance of an acoustic product is measured based on Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating. A higher STC rating indicates a greater reduction in noise transmission. 
• AMBICO Acoustic Steel Doors & Frames are available in STC 33 to STC 53 at a thickness of 1¾ʺ and available in higher ratings in greater thicknesses. Custom-engineered solutions are also available for ratings higher than STC 64. 
• Hardware and glazing: Doors are provided complete with acoustic steel frames, and perimeter and bottom seals. All Acoustic Steel Doors & Frames are constructed to accept heavy-weight builder’s hardware and are accessible with factory pre-installed acoustic glazing.
• Compliance and Certification: All AMBICO Acoustic product assemblies comply with the latest ASTM-90 and E-413 standards. 
• ASTM-90 is the standard test method for laboratory measurement of airborne sound transmission loss in building partitions, including doors, windows, walls, and other elements used to divide spaces.
• E-413 is a standard classification method used to calculate single-number acoustical ratings for laboratory and field measurements of sound attenuation obtained in one-third octave bands.
• Fire-labeled: All fire-labeled products are tested in accordance with NFPA-80 and UL-10C and certified by Underwriters Laboratories and Warnock Hersey International. Fire-labeled Acoustic Steel Doors & Frames can be supplied as singles or pairs.
• Enhanced Security Options: SCIF and DCID 6/9 compliant Acoustic Steel Doors & Frames are available in combination with radio-frequency shielding for SCIF applications. Additionally, bullet-resistant doors are available in combination with acoustic-resistant openings for heightening security applications.

Our Acoustic Steel Doors and Frames are designed to assist in achieving the desired sound quality while effectively preventing unwanted external noise disruptions.
2. Academic Setting: Classrooms, libraries, music rooms, and gymnasiums in schools, universities, and colleges all require effective noise control measures to prevent sound disruptions that can impact student stress levels, knowledge absorption, and physical well-being. Acoustic Steel Doors and Frames are specially designed to mitigate these negative effects by isolating classrooms and creating a conducive learning environment for students and academic staff.
3. Healthcare Facilities: Hospitals, clinics, and rehabilitation centers highly prioritize privacy and confidentiality. Our Acoustic Steel Doors and Frames provide an optimal solution for enhanced privacy. They enable secure and confidential conversations between patients and healthcare providers, as well as facilitate a secure environment for critical healthcare training.
4. Manufacturing & testing facilities: Noise control can greatly impact employee safety, performance, and success in factories and testing facilities. Acoustic Steel Doors and Frames help create a sound-controlled work environment promoting concentration and productivity. 
5. Government and Military Organizations: Governments and military entities are among the largest users of acoustic doors. From training facilities and interrogation rooms to conference halls, command centers, and military bases, effective sound control is crucial in these organizations. Our Acoustic Steel Doors and Frames provide the high level of speech privacy and sound control required in these information-sensitive environments.
