I worked in the hospitality field for over 30 years and one of the common guest complaints was that the guestrooms with connecting doors allowed too much noise from the adjoining room. Whether it was TV volume, guests conversing or just general guest activity, the noise disturbs guests in the connecting room trying to relax or sleep. The hotels received poor reviews and several complaints per week, Tripadvisor ratings suffered. Business Travelers demanded non-connecting rooms. We tried foam stripping, weatherstripping, and special thresholds all without positive results.
We needed a solution and found that a remedy was not available. I set about developing a solution and invented a removable sound absorbing panel that is sized to fit between the doors. The results were immediate; guest noise complaints fell to a couple per year!! It also helped with hotels that transitioned from carpet to plank or tile flooring as they experienced additional noise and threshold issues.
The panels are custom made to fit your opening and are simply set in place and the doors are closed. There are no installation costs or procedures involved. When a guest requests the use of the connecting doors, the panel is pulled from the doorway and stored in a convenient location. In most cases, guests remove the pieces when occupying both rooms, this allows them the option of putting it back in place to prevent noise between their rooms.
