A custom- soundproof curtain e is only as good as its measured performance: at Nokomis, each model is tested in an accredited laboratory (down to -28.2 dB), and the custom fit ensures complete coverage of the window, with no noise leakage from the sides.

Why Custom Design Is Key to Acoustic Performance

Noise seeps in through even the smallest gaps: a curtain that is too narrow or too short lets in noise and negates some of the measured sound reduction. A custom-made curtain seals these gaps by covering the entire glass surface, including the overhangs.

An effective sound acoustic curtain ation is based on the law of acoustic mass: the denser and heavier the fabric, the more it dampens sound waves. However, a heavy fabric that doesn’t fit properly loses its effectiveness if air—and therefore sound—escapes around the edges. That is why custom-made solutions are not merely a decorative feature at Nokomis, but a technical requirement for effective soundproofing.

  • We recommend extending the material several centimeters beyond each side of the window to prevent sound from escaping around the edges
  • A height that extends beyond the ledge and down to the floor to reduce low-level leakage
  • Eyelets: quick installation, even pleats, good coverage at Track or Curtain pole
  • Gathering tape : dense pleats, ideal for making the most of the fabric when hung in front of a window or French door
  • Coverage for a standard window, a picture window, or a door, depending on the exact layout of the room

Proof, not promises

Nokomis measures its soundproof curtains in an accredited laboratory according to a recognized standard, rather than providing uncalibrated decibel figures. The Performance PLUS model achieves a sound reduction of -28.2 dB under these test conditions.

Many sellers post figures without providing evidence. We document both the methodology and the report so that performance is verifiable rather than merely claimed.

  • Report No. A-2020LAB-060-I766-44092_E, measurement in accordance with the NBN EN ISO 10140-2:2010 standard
  • Tests conducted by the BELAC-accredited laboratory, accredited under ISO 17025
  • Patented technology ((No. to be confirmed)) based on multilayer textile microfilaments
  • Customer verification using a sound level meter is possible before and after installation
  • Specialized and general-interest media (Marie Claire) and customer reviews on everyday use

How to Interpret a Reliable Acoustic Test

A decibel value is meaningful only if it specifies the standard, the laboratory, and the measurement frequency. A single number, without any context or methodology, proves nothing.

Always ask to see the lab report, the standard reference, and the total assembled weight of the fabric (in kg/m²). These three factors distinguish a true “ soundproof curtain ” from a blackout curtain marketed as such.

For what type of room and what purpose

soundproof curtain s are suitable for bedrooms, offices, living rooms, or as room dividers. The choice of fabric and weight depends on the level of noise to be reduced.

For a bedroom facing the street, we recommend the highest sound insulation level (Performance PLUS) to ensure a good night’s sleep. For an office or workspace, the Performance line is often sufficient to achieve a comfortable noise level. Available colors: blue, gray, green, white, and beige, in a velvet or satin finish depending on the material.

soundproof curtain, Acoustic or Noise-Reducing: Clearing Up the Confusion

The terms overlap but do not refer to the same thing. A sound soundproof curtain e (or noise-reducing curtain) reduces noise coming from outside; a purely acoustic curtain primarily reduces internal echoes within a room.

Nokomis It is neither a wall panel, nor studio foam, nor insulation installed during construction. It is a home textile that blocks and dampens outside noise, without the need to install double-pane windows or partitions.

  • soundproof curtain / noise reduction: protection against external noise (traffic, neighbors, city)
  • acoustic curtain : reduces echo and reverberation inside a room
  • Thermal insulation curtain: reduces heat loss and keeps cold air out
  • Our products combine these effects into a single, patented multilayer product
  • This isn't soundproofing that requires construction work: a solution that doesn't involve a construction site and is reversible in rental properties

How to Choose Your Custom-Made soundproof curtain

The right choice depends on three factors: noise level, the area to be covered, and the mounting method. Start by assessing the actual noise problem, then determine the weight of the fabric and its dimensions.

A curtain that is too small or too lightweight will not deliver on its acoustic promises. It’s better to choose the right density for your noise exposure than to rely solely on aesthetics.

  • Identify the source: traffic, a neighbor, outside noise, or a partition
  • Choose the product line based on your target decibel level (Comfort, Performance, Performance PLUS)
  • Select the fabric and color (velvet, satin, twill) and the eyelet finish or Gathering tape
  • Allow for side overhang and a generous height to ensure soundproofing
  • Check compatibility with a Track or a Curtain pole, or choose our custom-built Track 4400RM

How to Measure Before Ordering

Measure the total width to be covered, including overhangs, and the height from the mounting point to the floor. Add some extra width on the sides to block sound from escaping.

For best results, the width of the fabric should exceed that of the window, and the curtain should extend past the window sill. Our configurator guides you step by step, with finishing tips tailored to your Track or Curtain pole.

  • Width: Measure Curtain pole or Track, then add the overhang on each side
  • Height: from the attachment point to the floor for full coverage
  • Note the type of window (single-pane, picture window, door) to customize the design

What happens inside a soundproof curtain

Performance comes from the fabric's weight and structure, not from a simple lining added to the surface.

An effective curtain relies on a thick, dense fabric, whose total assembled weight is measured in g/m². Our product lines are designed around textile microfilaments that increase the mass per square meter, in accordance with the law of acoustic mass. The heavier and more compact the material, the greater the reduction in outside noise. The quality of the construction is just as important as the raw material: seams, pleats, and drape all influence how the curtain contacts the wall and window.

  • High-density microfilament fabric, measured in g/m² rather than estimated by feel
  • Built-in lining on the 3-in-1 lines to provide soundproofing, thermal insulation, and light-blocking properties
  • A braided or satin finish, depending on the desired visual appearance and level of absorbency

Absorption or blocking: two effects that should not be confused

A curtain primarily works by blocking outside noise, but it also helps absorb some sound within the room.

Sound blocking reduces the noise coming in from the street or the adjacent room, as measured in dB in an accredited laboratory. Sound absorption, on the other hand, reduces reverberation inside: voices carry less, and echoes are diminished in a large, empty room. A living room with hard surfaces and large windows benefits from both effects. Our reports distinguish between these two effects to avoid citing unsubstantiated figures that the brand refuses to disclose.

  • Sound insulation: less noise from outside, as measured by a standardized test
  • Absorption: Less echo and reverberation in the treated room
  • The perceived comfort is a combination of both, depending on the layout of the home
