IAC Acoustic Doors – 1 million door sets sold and rising
29 June 2009
Acoustic doors from market leader IAC are favourites with building designers, architects and specifiers around the world.
Over 1 million door sets have been installed since IAC was founded in 1949. Much copied but never matched, IAC acoustic doors are in continual demand. They are popular solutions for hospitals, hotels, schools, shopping centres, offices, broadcasting studios, nightclubs, museums, test cells, labs, plant rooms, printing plants, factory doors and power stations. Buildings all across the UK and in the Middle East number among our latest projects. Here is a flavour.
Six acoustic doors are being manufactured for the ground floor radio studios at BBC Cambridge – both single and double-leaf doors; all include vision panels, and some of which are fire-rated. BBC Media City Salford Quays Manchester is hot on its heels with special custom doors in manufacture at present.
High security sections of Microsoft Dublins' new £400M Data Centre are the destination for IAC custom doors. This is Microsofts' first Windows Live EMEA Data Centre in Europe and it is under construction on the Grange Castle Business Park, 10 miles from Dublins' city centre. IAC has fitted 2 pairs of high performance back-to-back doors prepared ready for security access card units to be fitted by Microsoft and one custom 3m high, single-leaf emergency exit door.
From Dublin to the Audissey Studio Project in Dubai. IAC is undertaking this in conjunction with Gulf Acoustic LLC, their middle-eastern partner on this occasion. The 7 of STC53 acoustic doors are being manufactured at IACs' European HQ in Winchester, UK.
IAC has a glittering list of theatres and arts centres worldwide amongst its clients and the latest is the Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff. The Edwardian school building that the Centre has occupied for 30 years is being redesigned inside by avant garde architects, Ash Sakula. It will contain cinemas, theatres, exhibition spaces, studios, café, award-winning bars, over 60 cultural workspaces and more. IAC is supplying 7 timber doors and 2 steel doors for a cinema, a theatre space and various locations on the upper levels. The Theatres image Gallery on www.industrialacoustics.com/uk features many of IAC’s high profile projects worldwide.
On the industrial front, 8 IAC acoustic doors – single and double leaf – are destined for the offices of Polish can-making giant, Can-Pack. Their massive newly-built factory in Scunthorpe, north-east England will turn out a staggering 2 billion 44cl cans a year for the British market.
IAC acoustic doors are also in place in Audiology Suites in hospitals, and in Radio and TV studios around the world.
