Royal Academy of Music, London

Metropolitan insulation were commissioned to look into solutions for The Royal Academy of Music Recording Studios, where the recording studios were becoming unfit for purpose. The inadequate sound proofing was causing issues for production and they needed a solution that would vastly improve the quality of the facilities and therefore of their sound production work.

After initially surveying the problem and gathering all required information, Metropolitan decided that the best course of action would be to replace the wooden doors. They are now slow-shut doors with sealed plate footings and concrete plinths. We also increased the density of the recording studio single leaf walls with double soundbloc and isolated perimeter.
