Customized Soundproofing Solutions for Doors and Panels

At the Fraunhofer IBP door test facility, the airborne sound insulation of doors, door leaves, and panels is measured in accordance with DIN EN ISO 10140-1 to 5. Two soundproof reverberation chambers, separated by a highly sound-insulating wall with a standardized test opening, enable the evaluation of acoustic properties. The use of cladding effectively suppresses flanking transmission within the rooms. The test facility also offers flexibility for testing a wide range of components, including partition wall sections and additional cladding. With the help of state-of-the-art measurement technology, reliable and standard-compliant data for acoustic optimization can be generated.

Benefit from our cutting-edge testing technology and the extensive expertise of the Building Acoustics Group. Our tests identify weak points, optimize products, and ensure compliance with the highest regulatory standards. The result: acoustically optimized doors and building components that not only meet legal standards but also leave a lasting impression on your customers – an investment in quality and competitiveness.
