The Benefits
Inexpensive
Sound insulated curtains are about 1/3rd of the cost of other separation methods such as rigid walls or panel systems and are easy to store.
Divide Space
Divide the area with ease - reorganize space by separating it into areas with different sound levels or different manufacturing operations.
Dust Control
Sound curtains will also protect employees' lungs against dust by preventing inhalation of airborne dust or other small particles.
Superior Noise Control
Greatly Improve Working Conditions
Some industries have very noisy projects. Conducting operations creates strong sounds – so strong, there could be health issues. Noise-related hazards can be dangerous. There are different causes – heavy mechanical work, factory production lines, large pipes, steam, and more. The best protection comes from special Noise Control Curtains. They can keep a loud project contained while creating a healthy working environment. Staff outside the noisy area will be able to concentrate on their own responsibilities. Solve the problem of high decibel commercial noise for good. You can also combine our curtains with other sound-reducing systems like partition walls or panels. You can separate one noise level from another; keeping the noise quieter in one room than another. These industrial-grade curtains are a mix of sound wave absorption materials and noise barrier membranes. Add in a powerful outer layer for extra durability. The powerful combination will help block some sounds from spreading into neighboring areas, and generally lower noise levels by a lot.
Sound Blocking Vinyl
The Material
- Industrial Grade Vinyl
- Won’t shrink, rot, or cause metal corrosion
- Great resistance to adverse environments
- Resistant to oils, weak acids, and alkalis
- It has antimicrobial agents which will prevent the buildup of mold, mildew, or fungi
- Thin, lightweight, and flexible unlike sound panels
- Can block light or be transparent
- Vinyl can be used in walls beneath drywall for offices and industrial buildings
Flexible Design
The sound blocking industrial-grade vinyl will greatly reduce noise levels in the facility; protecting quieter rooms. This technical fabric is made from a flexible, high density reinforced vinyl. It greatly reduces the transmission of sound waves and airborne noises. You can use our noise insulated curtains to surround the source of the noise. You can also get the material custom cut so it can easily integrate it into the design of your facility.
Meet OSHA Guidelines
Keep Noise Levels Low And Avoid Fines
OSHA has strict rules about worker safety in the workplace. Employers need to create and maintain an environment free of recognized hazards. Our sound-insulated curtains will keep workplace ambient noises below 85 DB. You will meet OSHA requirements and avoid fines. Industrial noise can be dangerous and cause hearing loss even at 85 decibels. Keep the workplace ambient sound levels below 85 and offer a pleasant working environment for your employees. The sound control curtains will not only protect employee safety but keep your equipment in good shape too. The curtains can also separate two or more areas with different noise levels. Keep everything in check and make the working environment more healthy.
Custom Made To Order
Floor Engagement
Sound can get under a normal curtain that rests just above the floor and that can reduce the effectiveness of the insulated sound curtain. Using a floor sweep to engage the floor prevents this issue by controlling the sound transmission from one zone to another. The 8" tall sweep Velcros onto the bottom of the curtain and hangs 6" below it. It can be replaced in the future or replaced with a taller or shorter sweep if you need to use the insulated sound curtains in another location with a different elevation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sound insulated curtains reduce noise between rooms to prevent distractions on spaces that requires privacy like offices, theaters and recording studios. These curtains contain multiple layers that absorb sound and prevent noise from traveling through any openings. They can be installed quickly as an alternative to building permanent soundproof walls. They also provide temperature control benefits and are easy to maintain. The FAQ below talks about sound insulated curtains and more information that you need to know about it.
Sound Insulated Curtains FAQ
What are sound insulated curtains?
Sound insulated curtains are heavy, multi-layer acoustic barriers designed to block and absorb noise in industrial, commercial, and workshop environments. They help create quieter and safer work areas.
How do sound insulated curtains reduce noise?
They use dense insulation layers that absorb sound waves and block noise transfer. The layered design reduces echo, vibration, and overall sound levels.
How much noise can these curtains block?
Most sound insulated curtains reduce noise by 10–20 dB depending on their thickness and material construction.
Are sound insulated curtains soundproof?
No. They significantly reduce noise but cannot fully soundproof a room. They are intended to manage industrial sound levels, not eliminate them entirely.
Where are sound insulated curtains commonly used?
They are used around loud machinery, compressors, generators, welding areas, CNC equipment, and manufacturing zones where noise control is needed.
Do insulated curtains help reduce echo?
Yes. The absorbent inner layers reduce echo and sound reflections, making large rooms quieter and more comfortable.
Can these curtains be customized?
Yes. They can be made to your required height, width, thickness, and color to match your workspace needs.
Are sound insulated curtains fire resistant?
Yes. Flame-resistant vinyl and insulation materials are available and meet industrial safety standards.
Do these curtains help with temperature control?
Yes. The insulation provides added thermal benefits, helping reduce drafts and heat transfer.
Can sound insulated curtains be installed on tracks?
Yes. They can be mounted on sliding tracks for easy movement and access to machinery.
Are the curtains easy to clean?
Yes. The vinyl exterior can be wiped clean with mild soap and water. It resists dust and dirt buildup.
Do sound insulated curtains absorb vibration?
They absorb airborne vibration but are not designed for structural vibration isolation from heavy equipment bases.
Can I add clear windows to the curtains?
Yes. Clear or tinted viewing panels can be added for monitoring and supervision.
Are these curtains suitable for heavy industrial use?
Yes. They are built with reinforced vinyl, durable stitching, and thick insulation layers for long-term performance.
Do the curtains require maintenance?
Maintenance is minimal. Routine cleaning and hardware checks keep them in optimal condition.
Can these curtains be used outdoors?
Most are indoor-rated, but outdoor versions with weather-resistant materials are available.
Can multiple curtains create an acoustic enclosure?
Yes. Several panels can be combined to form a modular noise-reducing enclosure around loud machinery.
Can the curtains be relocated?
Yes. Track-mounted systems allow the curtains to be moved or reconfigured when equipment layouts change.
How long do sound insulated curtains last?
With proper care, they last many years thanks to industrial-grade materials and construction.
Are custom colors available?
Yes. A range of standard and custom colors is available for branding or safety zoning.
