Description

Acoustic Curtains – High acoustic absorption

ProSonic Acoustic Curtains are designed to provide a degree of sound absorption within the space in which they are used. Often used in performing arts spaces they not only provide a variable acoustic environment for different applications but control excessive reverberation in halls with very reflective surfaces.

Uses:
  • Dance studios
  • School halls
  • Village halls
  • Meeting rooms
Benefits:
  • Highly versatile
  • Cost effective
  • High sound absorption
  • Completely Bespoke Manufacture
  • Fire rated

All material is an IFR (Inherently Flame Retardant). This meets the requirements of BS5867: Part 2: B which is the British Standard for flame retardant fabrics used for the manufacture of curtains. Not being a chemically treated fabric means the fire resistance does not degrade over time.

The degree of sound absorption depends on the weight of the fabric used, the depth between the curtain and the wall and the degree of pleating.

We have three grades:
Heavy Super Heavy Kilo

25mm wide cotton tape ties can be sewn into the top of the curtains. This provides a quick and easy method for fixing acoustic curtains to rails or curtain rods. We can mark the centre section with a coloured tie if required.

 

 

acoustic curtain tab hook fixingsTab Hooks

Metal hooks sewn onto a cotton tape. An ideal fixing for most medium to heavy acoustic curtains. The hooks are very strong and have the added benefit of not being seen from the front.

 

 

acoustic curtain ring fixings

Split / Solid Rings

Either 25mm split rings or large 55mm diameter solid rings to the tops. (We can also do 11mm or 40mm diameter eyelets that are punched into the fabric. The larger ones can be used with a suitable diameter curtain pole through them).

Ideal for when the acoustic curtain needs to hang below the eye of the runner on the track.

 

 

Curtain bottoms

Option to add a chain weighted base which allows the acoustic curtains to hang correctly and move smoothly during opening and closing is available but pockets for pipes are also an option.

Sides

The sides are continuously hemmed and can also be fitted with velcro tape to help join smaller sections together.

Linings

Standard acoustic curtains are supplied unlined but lining options are available.

Fullness

Standard acoustic curtains are supplied as standard to 50% fullness. This means the degree of visual ‘pleating’ effect when open. At 50% this means the acoustic curtains are one and a half times the width of the track.

Tracks

As standard we rely on the customer to provide the mounting system but for larger more complex projects we can supply professional grade industrial tracks with either manual or motorised operation.

If acoustic absorption is not required we can also offer a lighter weight 260g/m2 blackout fabric.
