Common Questions

Acoustic Rated Riser Door FAQ

Everything you need to know about specifying acoustic rated riser doors.

What acoustic rating do your riser doors achieve?

Our acoustic rated riser doors achieve up to Rw 40dB weighted sound reduction. This is tested as a complete doorset assembly under laboratory conditions to BS EN ISO 10140-2:2010. The achieved rating depends on door configuration and whether fire rating is also specified.

What standards are acoustic riser doors tested to?

Acoustic performance is tested to BS EN ISO 10140-2:2010 (laboratory measurement of sound insulation). Fire performance, where specified, is tested to BS 476 Part 22, BS EN 1634-1:2014+A1:2018 and BS EN 1364-2:2018. All testing is carried out by accredited laboratories with formal reports supplied.

Can acoustic riser doors also be fire rated?

Yes. We offer dual-rated riser doors that combine acoustic performance with fire ratings. This means you get both fire and acoustic protection in a single doorset, simplifying your specification and reducing the number of products needed on site.

What sizes are available for acoustic riser doors?

Acoustic rated riser doors are manufactured to suit your structural openings. Standard and bespoke sizes are available in single, double, and multi-door configurations. Contact us with your opening dimensions and we will confirm sizing, acoustic performance, and any fire rating requirements for your project.

How quickly can acoustic riser doors be delivered?

Acoustic rated riser doors are manufactured and delivered within 3 to 5 working days from our UK facility in Nuneaton. There are no import delays. For large volume or project-specific orders, contact us for a confirmed lead time based on your specification and quantities.

Can acoustic riser doors be customised to match project specifications?

Yes. We manufacture bespoke acoustic riser doors to your exact dimensions, with a choice of lock types, frame profiles, and finishes. Acoustic seals are integrated into every door as standard. Custom doors maintain the same tested acoustic performance and are supplied with full certification and documentation.
