Fire Protection and Acoustic Comfort in One Engineered Doorset

The Tufwud Acoustic Fire-Rated Wooden Door is developed for buildings where both fire safety and sound control are critical. It combines the protective characteristics of a fire-rated doorset with engineered acoustic construction that helps reduce the transfer of unwanted noise between adjoining spaces.

Designed for demanding architectural and project applications, the doorset offers a refined alternative to conventional functional doors. It can be customized in a variety of premium finishes to complement modern interiors while maintaining the required performance-oriented construction.

The exact fire-resistance and acoustic ratings depend on the approved doorset configuration, including the shutter, frame, seals, hardware, glazing, dimensions and installation methodology.

Key Features

• Combined Performance: Integrates fire resistance and acoustic insulation within one coordinated wooden doorset.
• Enhanced Sound Control: Engineered construction helps reduce sound transmission and improve privacy between spaces.
• Fire-Rated Construction: Designed for project-specific fire-safety requirements, subject to the selected tested or certified configuration.
• Specialized Acoustic Sealing: Compatible with perimeter seals, drop-down seals and other acoustic sealing systems where specified.
• Premium Finish Options: Available in decorative laminate, natural veneer, PU-painted and polished finishes.
• Customizable Design: Colours, textures and finishes can be coordinated with the surrounding architectural and interior scheme.
• Durable Door Construction: Manufactured using selected materials and controlled production processes for consistent performance and long-term use.
• Compatible Fire-Rated Hardware: Can be supplied with suitable hinges, locks, door closers, handles, panic hardware and other required accessories.
• Vision-Panel Options: Fire-rated and acoustic glazing may be incorporated where technically approved.
• Project-Specific Manufacturing: Door size, thickness, frame type, opening direction, finish and hardware preparation can be customized according to the approved specification.

Recommended Applications

The Tufwud Acoustic Fire-Rated Door is suitable for:

• Hotels and guest-room corridors
• Hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Recording and broadcasting studios
• Auditoriums and theatres
• Conference and meeting rooms
• Corporate offices and boardrooms
• Educational institutions
• Libraries and research facilities
• Premium residences and apartments
• Plant rooms and utility areas
• Commercial and institutional buildings
• Areas requiring controlled sound transmission and fire compartmentation

Premium Finish Options

The door can be customized with finishes such as:

• Decorative laminate
• Natural wood veneer
• PU-painted finish
• Polished finish
• Solid-colour finish
• Routed or grooved designer patterns
• Coordinated frame and architrave finishes

Finish selection should be finalized according to the approved fire-rated and acoustic construction.

Engineered Acoustic Sealing System

Effective acoustic performance depends on controlling sound leakage around the complete perimeter of the door. Depending on the required configuration, the doorset may include:

• Acoustic perimeter seals
• Intumescent fire seals
• Smoke seals
• Automatic drop-down bottom seal
• Threshold or sill arrangement
• Properly sealed frame-to-wall junction
• Compatible acoustic and fire-rated glazing

Even a small unsealed gap can affect the overall sound-reduction performance. Therefore, accurate installation and adjustment are essential.

Complete Fire-Rated Doorset

The door should be specified and installed as a complete coordinated doorset rather than as an individual shutter. A typical doorset may include:

• Engineered acoustic fire-rated door shutter
• Compatible wooden or approved frame
• Intumescent and smoke seals
• Acoustic perimeter seals
• Drop-down bottom seal
• Fire-rated hinges
• Mortise lock or latch
• Lever handle or panic hardware
• Controlled door closer
• Approved vision panel, where required
• Suitable installation and sealing materials

All components should be compatible with the tested or certified construction.

Benefits of an Acoustic Fire-Rated Door

Improved Safety

The fire-rated construction supports the building’s fire-compartmentation strategy by helping restrict the passage of fire and smoke for the specified duration.

Better Privacy

The acoustic construction helps reduce conversations, operational noise and other unwanted sound from travelling between adjoining spaces.

Enhanced Occupant Comfort

Reduced sound transmission creates a quieter and more comfortable environment in hotels, hospitals, offices, studios and residential spaces.

Coordinated Interior Appearance

Premium laminates, veneers and painted finishes allow the door to integrate with sophisticated interior-design requirements.

Single Integrated Solution

Instead of specifying separate products for fire safety and sound insulation, the acoustic fire-rated doorset delivers both functions through one coordinated system.

Information Required for Selection and Quotation

Please share the following details for accurate technical selection and pricing:

• Required fire-resistance rating
• Required acoustic rating
• Door shutter dimensions
• Quantity required
• Single-leaf or double-leaf configuration
• Frame type and section
• Wall type and wall thickness
• Opening direction and door handing
• Laminate, veneer, PU or polished finish
• Vision-panel requirement
• Hardware specifications
• Threshold or drop-seal requirement
• Installation location and project city

Important Performance Note

The stated fire and acoustic performance applies only when the door is manufactured, supplied and installed in accordance with the relevant approved configuration. Changes to the shutter size, thickness, frame, seals, glazing, hardware or installation method may affect the performance of the complete doorset.

Tufwud Acoustic Fire-Rated Doors bring together fire protection, sound insulation, durability and premium design—creating safer, quieter and more refined interior environments.
