Hi Stuart,
So good news I've got all the secondary acoustic glazing in and the second door is on with seals and fire door closers that can apply enough latching force. I don't have a sound level meter to record the results but I have to say I'm extremely pleased with the results. With my 3 piece rock band playing flat out in the studio you can hardly hear a thing outside! The weakest point is leakage through the double doors to the breakfast room in the house. I've still got some sealing to do there and I'm going to get the carpenter to adjust one of the door jams where the seals aren't meeting the door.
Thanks for your help, it was never meant to be a high end studio on my budget but it is remarkably successful. I'm moving on to treating the room a bit next to improve monitoring.
Could you advise on what type of air/pollen filters are best for my intake and outakes? I've got an S&P TD 350/125 fan to install on the outlet and I know I need to fit these filters.
Thanks again
Ricky

Can anyone recommend air/pollen filters that I can fit over my inlet and outlet baffle boxes? The inlet baffle box filter would be underneath it outside. I'm guessing these are normally washable and need checking at regular intervals to prevent blocking?
The inlet and outlet pipes are 110mm diameter.
Thanks for any help, noone seems to be answering the post I put up ages ago and I'm really stuck on what to get.

Hi Ricky,
My design uses a filter box with replaceable filters on the inlet:

And the extract has a replaceable filter in the casing of the ceiling diffuser:

I had to use different types for access reasons. My design has the inlet filter box between the exterior inlet grill and the silencer box (keeping exterior dust out of it), and the extract filter is inside the room above the ceiling diffuser, before the silencer box and extractor fan (keeping in-room dust out).
Here's a picture of my inlet filter box installed (extract filter isn't in yet)
And outside grill (I still have work to do on the fascia etc. here but it should give you an idea):
I hope that helps!
