Stc 45 door assembly. Applications with and without lites. Frames and jambs through stc 45 when paired with vt doors. For example 1 8 clearances around the edges reduce the effective rating of an stc 52 door to stc 21. Staggered or double stud walls are higher rated than single stud walls.

The test involves firing 16 fixed frequencies from 125 hz to 4 000 hz at the assembly or material and measuring the amount of sound on both sides in. A critical factor to understand when specifying acoustic doors and frames is the sound transmission class or stc rating. These assemblies utilize 1 3 4 proprietary sound core doors standard hollow metal frames and a low profile sealing system that is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and easier to install. Mecart s standard acoustic products are labelled stc 35 stc 45 and stc 52.
