Bluepica 4th Gear January 4, 2016 Share January 4, 2016 For those who is having a frameless bathroom swing door from your bedroom to the bathroom, does the door block the acoustic noise from the bathroom? My current door is a bi-fold thin layer of acrylic door. Whenever people using the toilet/bathroom, it's very noisy to those in the bedroom. It's a common bath/toilet accessible from the bedroom as well. Then, the mechanism like going to pecah already, difficult to fully interlock close the door without having to kick at the bottom of the door (this will rudely awaken those sleeping in the bedroom) So I am planning to change the door at the bedroom side, at least to something that will have a little sound proof from the bathroom noise. 1. wooden door - not ideal as the bath room is small and water will splash onto it and will rot in due time. 2. new bi-fold door - not sound proof 3. frameless tempered glass swing door - I'm not sure haw sound proof can it be, Thanks. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor68 Turbocharged January 4, 2016 Share January 4, 2016 Sound travels through gaps and of course also the material you use to screen. The most effective is a solid timber door but make sure it don't get wet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepica 4th Gear January 5, 2016 Author Share January 5, 2016 bi-fold you mean like he PD door? the PD type sound proofing is quite good and not noisy when closing the door. but mine very noisy, closing mechanical noise and no sound proofing to the bedroom. maybe because it's already 10yrs old Sound travels through gaps and of course also the material you use to screen. The most effective is a solid timber door but make sure it don't get wet. I agree with timber door, but it's the water splashing problem Bro, your first question . . answer is no. Not only can hear the sound in my toilet, I can even hear my upstair neighbour peeing. Really! you mean the frameless glass swing door is a no no ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
