Answering the question about the meaning of sound insulation for the front door, you can give an affirmative answer. It not only makes sense, it is necessary. There are several reasons for this.

Why do you need door insulation
First of all, such an additional layer is needed for doors located in apartment buildings. If it is not done, then all extraneous sounds heard in the staircase will be very clearly audible in the apartment. To avoid this, it is necessary to make noise insulation or purchase ready-made entrance doors in which there is such a layer.

Soundproofing is necessary for doors in private homes, especially those located in a busy place or near the slopes. There she is required. In addition, noise insulation often performs a dual purpose. It performs the function of thermal insulation and protects against the ingress of dust and cold.

Reasons for poor sound insulation
The soundproofing of a door can be affected by several factors:
- Poor quality material that does not provide sufficient sound insulation;
- The door does not fit well with the box due to improper installation;
- Sealing materials installed around the perimeter of the door leaf do poorly with their function;
- Incorrectly installed door frame with the formation of cracks.
All these reasons can be eliminated if necessary, which can improve sound insulation.

Soundproofing materials
Different materials may be used to provide good sound insulation. But most often used: mineral wool, foamed polyurethane, foam and corrugated board.
The most budgetary and ineffective option is a corrugated cardboard. It is it most often used by Chinese manufacturers. Mineral wool has good soundproofing properties, but over time it begins to sag and absorb moisture. Polyfoam also copes well with its task, but its susceptibility to burning must be taken into account. Foamed polyurethane provides a good fit to the door and does not burn. But it is the most expensive material.

MDF shields are also used for sound insulation. They are attached to the door leaf both outside and on the inside. In this case, they also perform a decorative function.

Soundproofing for the front door is necessary so that you can relax in the house and not hear all the sounds of neighbors or passing cars. Therefore, you need to take care of its device in time.
