Price of doors?

Mars Bar

Seeing as many of you guys have built recording studios...how much would a door, double glazed for soundproofing cost?

PaulBrewer

We do ones for RTE at about £1500 a pop, so it depends what you need? My friend, whose a studio owner also owns a Door/Window factory. I'll PM you his details if you want?

I'm just browsing around at the moment, do you know if he has a website?

PaulBrewer

No , he's just a customer of mine. It's a 'normal' window door company it's just he'd be in tune with what you need being a studio owner himself. I'll pm you his number and give him a bell.

Second hand fire doors from mac's salvage in kilmainham. About €35 euro a pop and about another €35 for door frames to fit them into. A good snug fit and they are a reasonable alternative and offer a fair bit of isolation if fitteted well.

If they fit tight you'll get about 30db reduction I reckon. Not serious industrial standard etc. They are a good starting point for diy'ing a heavy door too...
finding rubber or magnetic seals is a different matter

He's the rat
The studio rat
He can mix your tunes
If you give him cheese
Say please
Or he'll nibble your knees
He plays bass
Produced U2
He's the rat
The king of the pack
When he enters a room
Better step back
Does he like chit chat?
'Said no'
He's the king of the hill
He got too much skill
No spill
No slop
He's the rat
He sits on top
Can't handle a flop
