| What is an STC rating? |
STC stands for "sound transmission class". It represents a
method of measuring sound transmission loss through a barrier ie.
a door or a wall. The higher the STC rating the better the sound
deadening property of the door. Ambico provides 1 3/4" thick doors
from STC 33 to STC 53. Doors up to 6" in overall thickness provide a
rating of STC 56. Let us help you select an acoustic product that will
meet your project requirements.
|
| Are acoustic doors supplied with seals and door hardware? |
| Perimeter seals, bottom seals and thresholds are always supplied
as they are integral to the sound deadening properties of the door/frame
unit. Heavy weight butt hinges and latching devices are readily available
from local hardware distributors. However, our new STC-53 door/frame
unit is supplied with cam-lift type hinges.
When sliding acoustic doors are supplied, all door seals and
hardware including perimeter and bottom seals, door tracks and hangers
are supplied. Electric operators should be considered when door panels
weigh in excess of 350 lbs.

Glazing material must be factory pre-installed.

| Are acoustic borrowed lites available? |
| Ambico manufactures acoustic borrowed lites that achieve STC 55.
Individual glass sized cannot exceed thirty two square feet. Acoustic
