Door soundproof
Hi everyone, I'm looking for ideas on how to achieve effective acoustic insulation for a set of interior doors. The basic plan is to cover the entire inner surface of the door with layers of OSB, mass loaded vinyl, foam, and then another layer of OSB. Sounds straightforward, right? Here's the problem: The door itself is only 5 cm thick. It's mounted in an 11 cm thick wall. The doors open inward up to a maximum of 90° (they’re limited by the wall). If I cover the entire door with these layers, they won’t open properly. In fact they wont open at all. On the other hand, if I leave a 5 cm section uncovered on the left side, the insulation there will be less effective. Changing the doors isn’t an option because this is a new apartment, so I can’t really replace or modify the door setup in that regard. I can handle everything else since the apartment is mine. Has anyone faced a similar challenge or have any ideas on how to resolve this? Whether it’s a clever mechanical solution, an alternative layering method, or different materials that might work better under these constraints—I’m all ears! I've attached a photo for reference. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! submitted by /u/NewspaperParking9865 [link] [comments]
