ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
Does anyone have experience with the use of strip-doors (hanging plastic strips) for reducing
sound bleed on the floor? We're using them to help create quiet spaces for individual exhibits.
I'd love to know anything about people's experience with them, but in particular:
• What are your criteria for when to use them, as opposed to a hinged door?
• Have you always used full-length ones, or shorter (which seem to work nearly as well
acoustically)?
• Do you know whether they tend to discourage visitors from entering the space, or whether
vistiors feel weird, as if they're in a meat locker, etc?
Thanks for any responses to the list or offline.
Sue Allen
