What are Elephant Doors?
Elephant doors are large structures that are designed to effectively block outdoor noise and disturbances. These doors are quite heavy and are at least 6 to 8 inches thick. They’re made from resilient materials that are effective sound barriers and can be quite sophisticated. In the past, these doors were operated by hand by dedicated workmen. Today, you can install automated doors that have efficient motors to bear the weight of the door.
Why Install Elephant Doors?
Elephant doors can be expensive, which is why some upcoming studios try to avoid them. These doors also require regular maintenance in order to work well and ensure there are no accidents. That only adds to the expense. However, if you’re concerned about the quality of your movies or videos, you should consider elephant door installation. Here are some reasons why:
Noise Reduction – As mentioned before, these doors offer quite a lot of noise reduction because of their size, weight, and material density. That can be a big help when you’re filming a movie or a video. You won’t have to spend too much time editing out the background noise.
Size – These doors are very large so they can be installed on big doorways. Studios need to have large doorways to accommodate big set pieces, vehicles, and stage equipment.
Climate – These doors are heavy and can withstand all kinds of weather conditions. They will help you maintain a comfortable environment indoors by keeping the heat, rain, or cold out. This can be particularly effective in Southern California conditions as summers here are sultry and hot.
