    Default Soundproof/sound damped door manufacturer suggestions

    Any leads?

    I am looking for a fire rated door for my condo with a STC rating of over 50. I think it would help alot with some noise issues I'm having (not being poor is not an option unfortunately).

    Does your condo allow you to change the hallway doors? Some don't.

    Also, I would have written an art room comment if I wasn't beaten to it.

    Corridor entry door is probably undercut to allow make up air to circulate into your unit. Thats where the sound is coming in.

    Can try adding a weatherstripping and/or door sweep and that might help. But your unit might get stuffy depending on how MUA is being handled.

    If there is an HRV or Fancoil in the suite he will get enough fresh air. Most MUA's in a condo only service the corridors anyways.

    I don't think you'll get a 50 rating out of a 50 slab unless you do the frame as well, and that includes installing the frame properly which would entail opening up the wall on both sides of the suite. I think as others have said your condo board would never allow this. Best to check first before putting too much effort into it.

    The door sweep options are probably your best bet if they won't mess with your airflow as also already stated. You can buy foam ones and just put them in when you're home and want the quiet.

    Looking for door suggestions from Alberta, I already have discussed the changes with the board and what is and isn't allowed. Having tried every cheap mitigation factor under the sun, I'm pretty up and up on what I need to do

    Finding a door manufacturer in province that has fire rated doors in the correct style is the issue. Original doors are from the USA, not very helpful for a single purchase situation.

    Being Beyond, I love the fact its all commentary and not a single relevant post to the question. Never change guys, never change.

    Fuck you. Pointing out that there's zero chance your retardo board will approve this and that you will freeze to death in winter and choke to death on your own farts in summer is about as valuable as a post can be.

    You don't think it's valid to help you out by pointing you in that direction before you get too far ahead of yourself?
    LoL!!

    Notice how you are missing the "soundproof" and "fire rated" parts. If google was useful, I wouldn't have turned to Beyond. Maybe I give ya'll too much credit!

    It's too bad Shanahan's is closed as they would have been the guys to talk to. Google brough this up - https://norome.ca/hollow-metal-doors-and-frames/

    Call them and see if you can actually get a fire rated insulated door. It appears most rated doors are hollow.

    I was just about to write about Norome Building Supplies. I grew up with the guy who now runs it. Worth a try.

    Yeah, I know they did. That's what I was pointing out. You know, the fact that someone made a useful post to help you out in case you hadn't thought of it?
    Unlike your useless original post that failed to mention anything considering condo board approval...

    Can a larger fire rated door be cut to fit? Assuming the size differential isn't extensive?
    I like neat cars.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it!

    What about a large fan to balance the air pressure?
    Some raspberry pi to find the perfect balance.

    If you can't find the correct door, is the layout of your entry built in a way that would allow a second front door, so you would have a "mud room" so to speak? That would cut down noise significantly more than a different front door.

    This would also slow down intruders and/or escapees.

    This is not a bad idea, but the entryway is already pretty small. Would be a pain in the mornings and evenings, but I'm not in and out often (#studentlyfe) and my art room is more of a freezebox if you catch my drift #dontjudge

    I feel like my comment that a slab only won't get you the full STC rating you're looking for isn't relevant sir
