The first thing that comes to mind for most people when they see sliding barn doors inside a house is how much noise gets through to the other room? I questioned that also when I visited a friend that had installed some as their bathroom door. I learned a few things while talking to my friend and that’s what I’ll be talking about in this video.
How to soundproof barn doors? There are a few ways to soundproof a sliding barn door, but the most effective way is to make sure there are no gaps or crack to allow noise to travel through. Make sure your barn doors are made from solid wood, meaning a solid core and not a hollow core.
A lot of regular door soundproofing methods are the same with a barn door; you just need to do things a bit differently to make sure everything works as intended.
This article will focus on how you can add or change the structure of the barn door to make it a bit more soundproof.
Here is a list of the top 8 ways to soundproof a sliding barn door. Some of you might already have one installed in your home and I’m sure a great many of you did it as a DIY project. You don’t need to stress yourself out or dismantle the barn doors. If there is noise coming through to the adjacent room there are many ways to remedy this problem.
If you have a small gap between the wall and the barn doors you will need to seal it if you ever hope of reducing the noise.
When the door is closed, you will want it as close to the wall as possible. This will be a challenge if you need to glide the door over the baseboards. By gliding the door over the trim you will have a gap the width of the trim.
