Effective and comfortable door insulation with soni PORTA Earsplittingly loud music from your teenager's room, bothersome noise from the hallway, loud phone conversations from the adjacent office, lack of discretion in treatment rooms - wherever closed doors are supposed to provide undisturbed quiet, our door insulation kit is the ideal solution for effective noise reduction.Our soni PORTA solution consists of six precisely fitting elements that form an attractive pattern and are simply glued to the door using the two included installation aids and our easy-to-understand installation instructions. Thanks to our unique, protected self-adhesive solution, you can remove soni PORTA again from smooth surfaces without leaving any residue, if necessary, for instance when moving out.Elegantly shaped cutouts for the door handle, on the left or right as needed, complete the sophisticated design.Depending on the application, the material has to be mounted either on the inside or on the outside of the door. For this reason, soni PORTA has been designed in two standard heights. It is important to install the door insulation material always on the side of the noise source.soni PORTA is suitable for the sound insulation of any room door with rebate - in private homes as well as in day-care centers, kindergartens, schools, medical facilities, offices, hotels, banks, etc.The soni PORTA elements are made of a combination of two highly effective acoustic materials: a heavy layer and an acoustic foam layer. The heavy layer on the underside of soni PORTA is glued directly to the door leaf, increasing its mass and thus the overall sound insulation effect of the door. The visible side consists of an acoustic foam layer covered with an attractive felt material. The foam’s open cells absorb sound energy. The robust and dirt-repellent felt surface is available in trendy colors. The edges of the elements can be masked with our soni VLD adhesive tape, if desired.For ordering the soundproofing set that fits your door, you will need the outer dimensions of the door leaf. Please measure the width and height of your door leaf on the outside, i.e. on the side in the direction in which your door opens.Please note: If the gap between the door leaf and the floor is too wide, we recommend mounting a door sweep or a door bottom seal. Only when all gaps and openings around the door are closed, perfect soundproofing is possible. soni PORTA is also available in a version that is not removable without residue: soni PORTA Basic Important information on installing soni PORTA door insulation: Correct installation is crucial for soni PORTA to be fully effective: 1. unhinge the door before installation and place it in a horizontal position on a stable surface. 2. apply the individual insulation elements horizontally to ensure optimum adhesion of the adhesive. Do not apply when hanging! The weight of the integrated heavy film could cause the adhesive to come loose again (does not apply to soni PORTA Basic). 3. leave the door to rest for at least 24 hours after installation and only hang it up again the next day. This will ensure that the door insulation remains in place permanently and that optimum sound reduction is achieved!
