Door soundproofing – to give you the privacy you desire
Door Soundproofing
Doors pose a problem when it comes to stopping noise from travelling in or out of a room. They are, by their nature, movable and inherently lighter than the wall they fit in. Whether you’re trying to stop noise coming in or out of your bedroom or a music studio, the principles are the same and can be address with our door soundproofing install packages.
Our door soundproofing package
We look to reduce airborne noise travelling through a door by addressing two fundamental issues.
- Door mass – is low in mass then it will not perform well when it comes to stopping noise. Noise is dampened by both mass and density so changing the door to something with more mass such as a fire door or a specialist soundproofed door will help reduce noise transfer between spaces dramatically. If you wish to keep the existing door then we would upgrade the door with extra mass on one side.
- Gaps around the door – the smallest gap around the door can let a lot of noise through so addressing this issue with professional door seals is a must. We typically route in drop seals into the bottom of the door which mechanically drop down when the door is closed. We also seal around the door so there are no gaps.

Fantastic service from start to finish with City Insulation. Bibi was efficient, informative and friendly with all the initial phone calls and questions as well as throughout and made the process very easy to understand. Adam was down to earth and professional from the first visit and clearly explained all the options available. From the work being booked in every step was as they had said and they actually finished sooner than planned. It’s a dusty job but was cleaned up really well on the last day with little for me left to do. The acoustics in the house already feel so much better and I haven’t heard the neighbours through any of the walls completed as yet so it’s so far so good. Looking forward to being in the room properly when it’s all decorated and having a peaceful home. Thank you and I would highly recommend City Insulation.

These guys are fantastic. I needed a room made silent for the purpose of recording as I am a voiceover with a noisy neighbour. From the start they were polite, clear in their communication and clean, tidy and punctual. Can’t recommend enough. I now have my silent room so I can work with confidence. Thank you

City insulation soundproofed our bedroom which was a party wall in a semi. They worked professionally and cleanly throughout the day, keeping us updated on their progress at all times. We could not be happier with the results - the sound from next door is reduced even more than we expected. Would highly recommend!

After an office move we found speaking to our international clients very difficult due to the echo in 7 of our online conference rooms. City Insulation solved the issue with an effective treatment that enhances the aesthetic of each room and did so with a convenient weekend install so there was no interruption to business. We now have the perfect acoustics in our conference and board rooms and productivity is being maximised.

City Insulation soundproofed our restaurant ceiling against speaker noise reaching the residency above. The results were impressive. Before the noise in the flat was intrusive through the floor but after the soundproofing was completed you could hear virtually nothing. Accessing the ceiling was tricky but the process from start to finish was made easy by Adam and his team. Once soundproofed, they also acoustically treated the space and it now sounds great.

This company is without a doubt fantastic. I would definitely recommend this business. They are polite, helpful, (they answered all our questions promptly and were very informative), diligent and clean. This soundproofing has given me back my life and it is amazing quality. Do not go with any other business, use city insulations for your soundproofing.
