Acoustic curtains for studio and home

What does an acoustic curtain do?

Hard surfaces such as windows, tiles and bare walls reflect sound – the room echoes. An acoustic curtain absorbs a large part of these reflections. How much is shown by the weighted sound absorption coefficient αw: 1.00 is the highest value (class A). Our values come from measurements at Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories.

Where do acoustic curtains help?

• Home studio, podcast and vocals – a dry sound without room reverb.
• Living room and home cinema with large windows and little furniture.
• Office and meeting room – clearer speech, also on video calls.
• Rehearsal room and music lessons – less echo inside and less noise for the neighbours.
• Room divider in open-plan spaces.

Acoustic curtain or soundproof curtain?

Each of our curtains does both: it absorbs echo in the room and reduces outside noise by 10 to 37 dB depending on the model. If street or neighbour noise is your main concern, you will find the right choice and fitting tips under soundproof curtains. For vocal booths and studio walls see our sound absorbing curtains.

Our models

• deNoise 1300 – single layer, αw 0.75, 40 mm eyelets or gathering tape.
• deNoise 2600 – double layer, αw 1.00.
• deNoise PRO 1550 / 2850 – with sewn-on blackout fabric, single or double layer.
• SonicVoid 1300 / 2600 – acoustic blanket with 12 mm grommets and rings, ideal as a room divider.

Tip: hung in folds, even a single-layer curtain absorbs much more, especially low frequencies – see pleated hanging of an acoustic curtain.

Frequently asked questions

How much echo does an acoustic curtain remove?
It depends on the area covered: the more hard surface – above all windows – the curtain covers, the more the echo drops.

Can it also darken the room and keep heat in?
Yes – see blackout curtains and thermal curtains.

How quickly is a curtain made?
Made to measure in 1–2 working days, then shipped.
