Benefits
Acoustic doors are specifically engineered to block or dampen noise. They can significantly reduce sound transmission between rooms or from the outside environment, making them ideal for offices, recording studios, home theaters, hospitals, or any space where quiet is important.

STC
Sound Transmission Class (STC) is a single-number rating that measures how effectively a building partition, like a door, wall, floor, or ceiling, blocks airborne noise. A higher STC rating means the material blocks more sound, providing greater noise reduction.
RW
Rw stands for Weighted Sound Reduction Index, which is a single-number rating that measures a building material's ability to block airborne sound. A higher Rw value indicates better sound insulation performance, meaning a material is more effective at reducing the transmission of noise through it
STC vs RW Compared
The main difference is that Rw is an international standard covering frequencies from 100Hz to 3150Hz, while STC (Sound Transmission Class) is a North American standard covering frequencies from 125Hz to 4000Hz.
Therefore, Rw is more effective at rating performance against lower frequencies, such as those from music or traffic, while STC is a good indicator for speech and general sounds.
