Commercial Acoustic Fabric Curtains
What These Curtains Do (and Don’t Do)
AKON’s commercial fabric curtains are a practical solution for reducing noise in busy environments. Whether you’re outfitting a theater, office, studio, or hotel, these curtains help absorb sound reflections, making conversations clearer and the space more comfortable.
While they don’t offer complete soundproofing, they significantly cut down on echo and soften ambient noise. That means loud sounds—like heavy machinery or bass vibrations—might still be heard, but their sharpness is dulled. These curtains aren’t about total silence; they’re about creating better acoustics and a more pleasant atmosphere without compromising the look and feel of your space.
Ideal Applications
- Recording Studios – Create cleaner audio by reducing reverberation and background noise—perfect for voice work, music, or podcasts.
- Home Theaters / Cinemas – Absorb harsh echoes and sound reflections for a more immersive, theater-quality experience.
- Office Spaces & Conference Rooms – Minimize distractions and improve speech privacy in busy, shared environments.
- Hotels & Hospitality – Enhance guest comfort by softening outside noise and improving overall room acoustics.
- Stage & Auditorium Curtains – Maintain visual appeal while controlling echo and improving sound quality in large venues.
- Schools & Classrooms – Help reduce noise between learning areas, making it easier for students and teachers to concentrate.
- Gyms & Fitness Studios – Absorb sound from equipment and music to create a more balanced and less disruptive atmosphere.
Material Options
Mass Loaded Vinyl
In spaces where cleanliness is a top priority, our 18oz mass loaded vinyl curtains are the go-to choice. The smooth, slick surface makes them easy to wipe down, and they stand up well to water and moisture. They are ideal for environments that demand durability over softness. These curtains provide complete visual blackout and block out up to 90% of light, a reliable solution when both cleanliness and light control matter. $$
Fabric | Premium Velour
This elegant 14oz fabric is perfect for achieving a high-end look without breaking the budget. Lightweight, inherently flame-resistant, and washable, it’s a practical choice for commercial spaces that demand both style and safety. Offering 100% visual blackout and 90% light reduction, it’s a smart solution for theaters, events, and any space where light control and a polished finish matter. $$$
Fullness Options
Fullness
Curtains have 3 options of fullness (also known as drape) as shown below. The 50% fullness is the most common for commercial curtain applications. To calculate fullness, you take the distance that you are trying to span and multiply that by the desired amount of fullness. For instance, if you want to cover 75' and you want 50% fullness you would use 75' x 1.5 = 112.5' of curtain. We do the math for you to make it easy. Just use our fill in form button at the bottom of the page.
Fullness Options
- Flat - Nothing is added to the curtain width to span the opening. $
- 50% Fullness - 50% more material is added to the curtain width to span the opening. $$
- 100% Fullness - 100% more material is added to the curtain width to span the opening. $$$
Hanging Options
Top of Curtain Mounts
Curtains have 7 options for the top of the curtain hardware. Choose a style based on the hardware you already have or want to use. For retractable curtains that are of a larger size, we highly recommend using our industrial curtain track, which features roller hooks for effortless gliding.
Fabric Options & Sound Ratings – Performance Velour™
We use high-quality Performance Velour, lab-tested for sound absorption under the NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) standard:
- 14oz Performance Velour™ – NRC 0.55 (absorbs ~55% of sound)
- 21oz Performance Velour™ – NRC 0.60 (absorbs ~60% of sound)
- 27oz Performance Velour™ – NRC TBD (currently being tested)
All NRC values above are measured with the fabric hung flat. When curtains are hung with 50% fullness (pleated style), absorption improves significantly due to the increased surface area.
