2006, 9 October IAC acoustic doors ‘perform’ at London’s Roundhouse theatre
This magnificent Grade II* listed building was originally built in 1846 as an engine shed and today is an outstanding example of mid-19th century architecture. Towards the close of the 2-year refurbishment programme, ten custom-made IAC acoustic doors were fitted on four different floors of the building: two large double leaf door sets leading off the main auditorium space; loading bay doors on the ground floor and emergency escape doors in the first floor. The doors were mainly STC-51dB with a few at STC 61dB. We also installed a number of acoustic doors and acoustic windows in the Creative Studios for young people aged 13-30 in the basement. The Roundhouse project is the latest in a series of projects for illustrious theatres including the Royal Festival Hall, the Unicorn Children’s Theatre, the Royal Court theatre and many more including a number for universities around the country. Scott Simmons is Product Manager, Doors: “Steel acoustic doors for theatres are a speciality of ours here at IAC – and we are considered by many UK Acoustic Consultants and Architects as the benchmark standard for high acoustic performance and quality and we provide certified laboratory ratings for all models. IAC doors are factory pre-hung to make certain the acoustic seals are properly aligned, and to ensure optimum performance in the field – our doors are great at keeping noise out, or in, as the case may be. On occasions we have built doors as high as 7 metres, which are still easily manoeuvred by one person.” For more information contact Scott Simmons scotts@iacl.co.uk + 44 (0)1962 873016.
