Soundproof curtains are the right choice for people looking for something simple, elegant and functional.

What are soundproof curtains?

The soundproof curtain does not look too different from the traditional curtains; the only difference is that materials and layers are used. A lot of dense and heavy materials are used to make each layer of a soundproof curtain; the layers are wide enough to provide optimum absorption. The fabrics used may vary from one manufacturer to another, but most of them use satin, velvet, and polyester.

These materials are all very dense but still have a variety of textures and colors to suit any space or style, no less stylish than traditional curtains. A curtain that is excellent at insulating lights, sounds, and heat, share the same thick materials. The thickness of the curtain material makes it more flexible to reduce low sound levels, such as bass. The porous nature of the materials helps to create air traps that turn sound energy into heat energy. Without these pores, the curtains would only reflect sound and reduce efficiency.

Soundproof curtains are typically bigger than the normal curtains as they are used to cover the whole window and a little bit more so that the curtains can create seals on the sides for optimum insulation. Generally, the larger the thickness of the curtain, the better it is for noise prevention. The thickness of the curtain plays a role in its weight; thick fabrics such as velvet and satin can weigh more than the usual fabric of the same size. The suggested weight for a curtain to effectively block sounds is approximately 1 kg.

What are the different reasons that have boosted the adoption of soundproof curtains? Growing noise pollution due to industrial automation

Noise is a prevalent hazard in factories, particularly in the pulp & paper and metal & mining sectors. Loud noise can cause both physical and psychological discomfort, reduce efficiency, interfere with interactions and attention, and even lead to accidents and injuries at work.

Exposure to high noise levels can even trigger trauma and permanent hearing loss. The problem is that noise is everywhere around us, and no one thinks it’s harmful, because people have learned to live with it. It cannot be tasted, seen or smelled, so this problem is disregard until the consequences of industrial noise pollution begin to harm human health. Rising noise pollution due to industrial automation has resulted in an increasing demand for the use of soundproof material to minimize noise. This has contributed to the market demand.
