Non-standard dimensions, extra-wide sizes, special finishes, commercial projects: we’ll create your custom- acoustic curtain . Tell us what you need, and we’ll get back to you within 24 business hours with a detailed quote.
For an accurate quote, please include the following in your message if possible:
- the dimensions of the opening to be covered (width × height, in cm)
- the number of curtains desired
- the desired finish (brass eyelets or Gathering tape)
- the nature of the disturbance (busy street, neighbors, stairwell, front door, etc.)
- whether it’s a residential or commercial project

Acoustic curtains, measured performance, custom-made, installation: answers to the questions we’re asked most often.
Yes, but to a degree that needs to be put into perspective. A fabric curtain affects mid- and high-frequency sounds —voices, television, light traffic, and sounds from the patio. It has little effect on low frequencies, which travel through walls and floors.
For the 4-layer system Nokomis, the laboratory measured a maximum sound reduction of 28.2 dB at 5,000 Hz, with an overall index of Rw(C;Ctr) = 14(−1;−3) dB, in accordance with the NBN EN ISO 10140-2:2010 standard.
The result you see in your home depends heavily on the installation: how the curtain covers the opening, the width of the curtain, and how the roller shutter box is finished. A high-performance curtain that is poorly installed will produce a mediocre result.
Because the price reflects what's inside the curtain—and what's behind the ad.
A curtain sold for around €89 is typically a single- or double-layered blackout fabric weighing 300 to 400 g/m². It provides real visual and thermal comfort, but in most cases , it has not been tested by an accredited laboratory, does not have a test report number, and does not have a fire rating.
A tested " acoustic curtain " is a different product altogether: it features a multilayer structure, high weight per unit area, a standardized testing protocol, and a traceable report. The physics here are straightforward—attenuation depends primarily on mass. A 350 g/m² textile and a 1.35 kg/m² composite cannot produce the same result.
Before comparing prices, compare the evidence. We've dedicated an entire article to this topic.
Ask the salesperson five questions. If any of them go unanswered, the figure shown is a performance target, not a measured performance.
- Which laboratory conducted the test, and is it accredited?
- What is the test report number?
- Which standard was applied?
- How often is the maximum value reached, and what is the overall Rw index?
- What is the total weight of the assembled curtain, in kg/m²—not the weight per square meter of the fabric alone?
For Nokomis : Daidalos Peutz Laboratory (Belgium), BELAC/ISO 17025 accredited; report no. A-2020LAB-060-I766-44092_E; standard NBN EN ISO 10140-2:2010; 28.2 dB at 5,000 Hz; Rw(C;Ctr) = 14(−1;−3) dB; 1.35 kg/m² when installed. This report is available upon request.
These are three distinct functions that a single curtain can perform to varying degrees.
Blackout: blocks out light. Depends on the opacity of the fabric and the lining.
Thermal: Reduces heat transfer near a window. On our models, measurements in accordance with EN 14501 show up to a 44% reduction in heat loss in winter compared to single-pane glass.
Acoustics: Reduces airborne noise. This is the most demanding function—it requires mass, a multilayer structure, and full coverage installation.
blackout curtain s are not inherently soundproof. Well-designed acoustic curtain s, on the other hand, are almost always soundproof and provide thermal insulation by design.
Yes. Our acoustic curtains are classified as M1 for fire resistance, a common requirement in public buildings, hotels, offices, and dining areas.
They are used in offices and coworking spaces, in the hospitality and restaurant industries, in meeting rooms and studios, as well as in healthcare and educational facilities.
For a commercial project, we provide a test report, a fire rating certificate, and a customized quote. Please use the form above and specify the type of facility you have.
Yes. Most of our products are custom-made to the customer's specifications.
For standard sizes, the online configurator available on the product pages allows you to enter your measurements and place an order directly.
For extra-wide openings, unusual heights, special finishes, or commercial projects, please use the form above. Please specify the dimensions of the opening (width × height in cm), the number of curtains, the desired finish, and the nature of the issue. We’ll respond within 24 business hours with a detailed quote.
Three rules that largely determine the acoustic result.
Width: Measure the Curtain pole or Track, not the window. The curtain should extend well beyond the opening on both sides. Allow for a width of at least 1.5 to 2 times the width of the opening to ensure sufficient drapes.
Height: from the top of the Curtain pole to the floor, hanging as close to the floor as possible. A curtain that ends below the window lets noise in from the bottom.
Roller shutter box: If there is one, the shutter should pass in front of it, not underneath it. This is a major source of sound leakage that is often overlooked.
If you're unsure, please send us your measurements using the form: we'll check them before production begins.
No installation required. The curtains can be hung on an existing “ Curtain pole ” or “ Track ” rod, with brass grommets or a “ Gathering tape ” finish, depending on the configuration you choose.
Given the weight of a acoustic curtain, the mounting system must be sized accordingly: opt for a sturdy Track or Curtain pole , secured to the wall or ceiling rather than just the door frame. We offer rails designed to handle these loads.
Detailed installation instructions are available.
Have it dry-cleaned by a professional. The curtain's multilayer construction and weight make it unsuitable for washing in a household washing machine.
For everyday use, a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment is sufficient for removing dust. Regular care helps maintain the fabric's drape and extends its lifespan.
Acoustic performance: Test report No. A-2020LAB-060-I766-44092_E, Daidalos Peutz laboratory, BELAC/ISO 17025 accredited, in accordance with NBN EN ISO 10140-2:2010.
Fire resistance: M1 rating.
Chemical Safety: OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100-certified lining — fabric tested to ensure it is free of regulated harmful substances.
Technology: multilayer complex protected by European Patent EP 3 440 965.
