If your home studio is in a bedroom at the end of even a short hallway, a second door across the hallway even if only 30 to 36 inches from the door of your new studio could bring a lot of isolation. If you are a do-it-yourself kind of person, that could be a little less expensive than the marvelous door Rick Riley has! (Also, not quite as isolating.) |
In actuality that door was the most expensive part. Mainly because it has to accomplish so much with such limited materials. The walls are about seven inches thick with resilient channeling, an air space and another wall. But the door can only be about 1 ¾ inches thick and still accomplish the same goal. What would be the point of building a wall with all the isolation and then attaching a door to it that would be the weak link that would make the whole thing ineffective? That was my thought process and since I’d gone to such great lengths to make the walls isolating, I wasn’t going to skimp on the door and throw the whole thing away. Same with the window. Sooo… I went to the pros. Or better said, I went to the Pro$$.

No, Rick, I think in your set up the door is money well spent. I don't know what I might have thought in the past such a door should cost, but I recently had this "Oh MY!!!" moment down at Home Depot. I'm moving soon. The house I expect to acquire is 75 years old. Well kept. Remodeled once and if you drove by, you WOULD NOT say "What an OLD house!!!" But when I move in I plan to freshen up a thing or two. So in the doors section of Home Depot I came across entry way doors, tapped on each one was I walked by, and one LOOKED, sounded and felt very solid. Ouch! $1,000 for just a rather plain but very solid residential entry door?
Guess I need to get out more.  So your door with it's features AND WEIGHT and sealing system is not outrageously priced at all. |
