Acoustic curtains: the perfect solution for sound comfort
Acoustic curtains - also known as soundproof curtains - are becoming increasingly popular. With the increasing popularity of industrial and minimalist styles, homes are often filled with hard materials such as concrete and steel. These materials can make a room chilly and reverberant. Acoustic curtains offer a practical solution. Whether you have a newly built home, are furnishing your office or want to optimise a meeting room, these special curtains are a godsend. At A House of Happiness, we combine aesthetics and acoustics in our unique collection. Acoustic curtains absorb sound vibrations - whether high, low or medium - thereby reducing both indoor and outdoor noise.
How do acoustic curtains work?
Most of the sound entering our homes comes through windows. Think of the sound of passing traffic, busy streets or neighbours enjoying an evening outside while you want to sleep soundly. When curtains are closed, they create a quiet environment. But acoustic curtains can also be of value inside the house. For example, with children playing or a drumming teenager. Muffling these sounds can make a world of difference.
When choosing acoustic curtains, it is important to pay attention to the material. The thicker and heavier the fabric, the better it can absorb sound waves. Here are some tips:
- The more fabric, the more sound waves are captured.
- Hang curtains from ceiling to floor and in front of the window frame.This increases the surface area to be absorbed.
- Lined curtains are even more effective than unlined variants.
- Choose a curtain with the acoustic symbol on the article card, these fabrics are designed for sound absorption.
