We see more and more people wanting a home recording studio. Some of this trend has to be due to the convenience, but another kickstarter seems to be the same WFH trends being navigated by companies across America.

When building a soundproof home recording studio, the area most people fall short is the doors and windows. The requirements for a door or window to match a soundproof wall are quite high, and without a proper solution – that opening is likely to be a weak point.

Each home recording studio soundproofingand professional recording studio soundproofing project is different and specific requirements can vary from studio to studio. If you’re unsure about your specific situation, contact an expert at Second Skin to discuss a custom plan for your space.

There are two “go-to” answers for most home recording environment. The first is a high STC custom built door like our Sound Lock STC 56 Soundproof Door. This 2-3/4” thick door is as beautiful as it is soundproof, and is available with a variety of customizations and wood species. The standard oak door commonly comes with a soundproof view window and is ready to be stained or painted.

The second common solution is a vestibule with 2 solid-core doors utilizing our Sound Lock Door Seal Kits. These adjustable door seal kits will completely seal the perimeter and bottom of the door, allowing you to create an “air lock” effect between the two rooms.
