Quiet Haven™ Heavy-Duty, Industrial Personnel Enclosures
MEET OSHA STANDARDS BY ISOLATING PERSONNEL FROM EXCESSIVE SOUND
McGill AirSilence's Quiet Haven enclosures effectively isolate personnel from noise in industrial environments. They improve employee efficiency by isolating personnel from excessive sound without limiting machine access or operator visibility. Quiet Haven industrial personnel enclosures can be custom designed for a wide range of applications such as in-plant offices, control rooms, workstations, and testing laboratories.
Quiet Haven industrial personnel enclosures can be shipped completely assembled or in sections to be assembled on site. They are finished painted with windows, doors, lights, and electric wiring, and ready for field hook-up. They can be equipped with silenced air intake and exhaust systems. Air conditioning and heating are optional. These enclosures are designed with forklift channels in the base for easy pick-up and relocation without disassembly.
MATERIAL TYPES AND THICKNESSES
Soundscreen acoustical panels are the basic building block of all Quiet Haven personnel enclosures. The standard panel consists of a sandwich construction of an 18- or 20-gauge, galvanized solid steel outer shell, acoustical/thermal insulating fill, and a 22-gauge minimum, perforated, galvanized steel inner liner. Other skin materials are available including paintable galvanized steel, types 304 and 316 stainless steel, and aluminum. Standard panel dimensions are thicknesses of 2 or 4 inches, widths of 24 or 36 inches, and lengths up to 10 feet for 2-inch-thick panels and up to 16 feet for 4-inch panels.
ACOUSTICAL/THERMAL FILL
The standard acoustical/thermal fill is fiberglass batt insulation. The insulation will not settle or promote growth of bacteria, mold, vermin, or insects. All insulating materials and inner and outer surfaces used in Soundscreen panels meet the requirements of NFPA-90A.

TYPE SL — SNAP-LOCK PANEL SYSTEMS — Permanent installations
Type SL panel systems are not intended for use in projects in which future disassembly and re-erection may be required.
Rapid panel assembly time
The snap-lock feature eliminates the need for joint-to-joint sheet metal screws and speeds assembly.
Visually appealing panel-to-panel joints
The elimination of sheet metal screws at the joings provides an atractive assembled enclosure.

ACOUSTICAL DOORS
All Quiet Haven enclosures can be furnished with a wide variety of acoustical doors. Standard personnel doors are 36 inches wide by 80 inches high and can be supplied with a 24-inch by 30-inch safety glass vision panel with neoprene acoustical edges and bottom seals. Doors are pre-hung, insulated, and equipped with two hinges, one industrial door latch (with an inside personnel safety release), and gasketing. Doors are also available in single- and double-leaf hinged, right- and left-hand swings, single- and double-horizontal slide, vertical slide, bifold constructions, manual operation, and automatically operated versions. Observation windows can be provided in all doors.
OBSERVATION WINDOWS
Standard observation windows for Quiet Haven enclosures are constructed from two 1/4-inch-thick panes of safety glass held in place with neoprene acoustical seals and separated by an air space equal to the thickness of the panel. Other optional window materials and optional window configurations are available.
