Windoors (windows and doors) must have gaps between the shutter and frame and between the bottom of door and floor for easy pening and closing. Also, such gaps accomodate normal building movement.
But since such gaps allow the leakage of sound, fire, smoke, dust, wind, rain, light and heat/cold, sealing of such gaps is of prime importance. Where such doors are installed for acoustical purposes of controlling noise, effective acoustical sealing becomes essential.
