I was wondering if anyone had references to sellers or manufacturers of soundproof doors (especially in Toronto or Internet based sellers).

I want to install 2 double doors on my walkout Basement in furnace area. whole purpose is to make a quite study room for kid.

At present, I have Bifold Closet Doors installed but wants to go with soundproof doors to reduce noise disturbance.

Any pointers or input welcome.

You cannot do that. The furnace and water heaters need constant circulation of Air for combustion - so you cannot seal that room, unless of course you plan to add some forced circulation in there.

Thats correct . Another way is to bring fresh air from outside is cutting a six inch hole on the outer wall and bring the air through liner .

Thanks for correction AG.

RBO, you can make your son's room sound proof if you want, but I will advice against it. Cheapest way is to use noise cancelling headphones running music he likes the most - remember in the event of an emergency, he will not hear any audible alarms.

I know... most of the winters the outside air is at a minimum of -10 Degrees Celsius (Minus 10 Degrees) that is an average temp. Severe winter days it is even minus 30 or minus 40 and sucking air from outside for combustion is brutal on the equipment. So,....

A recirc is what you need or as we call it An Heat Exchanger is the order of the day. Otherwise the EFFICIENCY IS down the tube... forget the 98 AFEU

See if you can find a hardware store that sells these and ask them how to sound proof a furnace room. Take a few pictures with your Phone or your camera and show them what the furnace room in your basement looks like. Then buy the materials and see if you can do it yourself. Good luck.

Thanks a lot Hiren, AG and FH for feedback and suggestions..

Hiren,

I never thought about Safety concerns and regarding constant circulation of Air for combustion.

I have to think some other alternate to reduce furnace fan noise in the basement...

Fan doesn't have to run always.
Have you tried having fan setting to 'auto' instead of 'on'.
