Home Theater Door

[sunith]

All:

I am in the final stages of my dedicated home theater, and need to choose on the door this week. My room is 12X20, and I have a 3X3 window done using UPVC. For the door, I am thinking of a flush door (Plywood), OR a solid wood door. More than the looks or the finish, I would go for a better sound proof door.

Pls suggest what would be the best option ?

It will be better to have solid wood door.

Your biggest leakage of sound would be the window, try and block it off. You don't need a window in a dedicated ht. For doors, the thicker the material it's better. Double doors are excellent.

If you are choosing plywood, check options to add soundproofing materials to it...

there are firms which sell sound proofing doors for HT. Usually the price starts at 25,000.

Solid wood to avoid vibration.

You can have a very good door but it will not serve the purpose of you have air leakage. Sound will escape from the path of least resistance. If you do get a solid door, make sure to seal all the edges with airtight gaskets. A door made with multiple layers of Plywood, glued to each other will work as well as a slab solid door.
