As part of the comprehensive restoration of the Buck40 property in Zurich Altstetten, RWD Schlatter supplied a wide range of doors. The 1960s building has been modernised and upgraded both functionally and optically. With 10,500 m² of office and commercial space, Buck40 offers an attractive working environment. A particular highlight is the central atrium with a ceiling height of up to 15 metres and extensive greenery – an open hub for exchange and socialising.

Our doors blend harmoniously into the architectural concept. Among others, the following were used:
Interior doors, smoke and fire protection doors, escape route doors, soundproof doors

Soundproof doors

Customised, double-leaf soundproof door in a restaurant — This double-leaf soundproof door was customised for a restaurant in Europa-Park. It fulfils the highest requirements for sound insulation and design.

Soundproof doors are functional doors that reduce the transmission of sound between different rooms or from the outside into the building and have a sound-insulating effect. Due to denser construction, increasing population density and the growing importance of working from home, the requirements for structural sound insulation are constantly increasing. In many cases, legal requirements also demand tested sound insulation. RWD Schlatter has extensive expertise in the field of sound insulation. Thanks to the company's own sound test bench, door elements can be tested and optimized.
