IAC’S
ACOUSTIC DOORS SHIELD LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA FROM TRAFFIC NOISE
 Audiences
can hear every note that the London Symphony Orchestra plays without interference
from neighbouring traffic thanks to the 14 acoustic doorsets that IAC
of Winchester has installed in their new facility.
The award-winning
‘LSO St Luke’s’, as the building is now known, is a
converted 18th century, grade 1-listed building in a busy part of London.
Now home to one of the world’s best-loved orchestras, the traffic
noise presented a particular challenge as did noise transference from
corridors to the practice rooms.
Scott Simmons is Product
Manager, Doors at IAC: "For over 50 years, we’ve been one of
the world’s leading authorities on acoustic doors. I suppose it’s
the performance-tested aspect that appeals to specifiers because they
know the doors will really do the job. The self-aligning magnetic seals
also have the edge and they certainly give superior closure. When it comes
to performance spaces, our doors’ non-slam action certainly makes
a difference as well."
The acoustic doors
in the building all have either resistant polyester-powder-coat finish
or an attractive timber veneer that harmonises with the rest of the stunning
interior. The personnel access doors situated in the magnificent Jerwood
Hall provide a high level of sound attenuation. In addition, the non-trip,
flush thresholds promote easy access to the building both by able-bodied
people and people using wheelchairs. Once inside audiences can listen
to the orchestra undisturbed by the sounds of the city.
