Made to measure
UK manufactured to your size and build
Expectation setting: Acoustic performance depends on the room construction and how well the opening is sealed by the curtain. As stated in your source content, results are strongest when used as a room divider with no other obstruction. When used at a window (e.g. for road noise), the glazing typically does most of the work and performance will vary by window type and draught sealing.
Top tip: Any of our curtains lined with our blackout lining are stated as thermally certified to reduce heat loss by 30% over a double glazed window.
What makes this acoustic room divider different
This product is positioned as an acoustic room divider curtain with laboratory testing referenced in the source content. Performance claims are presented as tested outcomes (sound insulation and absorption), rather than general “soundproof” marketing.
The herringbone face fabric is stated as 360gsm, with the range designed to reduce echo/reverberation (absorption) and, with selected lining builds, reduce sound passing between two spaces (insulation).
Test standards referenced in your content include EN ISO 354 for acoustic absorption (A-rated, 0.95 aw stated) and EN ISO 10140-1 / EN ISO 717-1 for acoustic insulation results referenced by build. A separate line in your content references room divider testing “for ENISO 1040-1” (listed as written in the source content).
Certificates, washing guidance and any build-dependent classifications are available in the Spec tab.
Where this fits in our range
Choose this option when you need a made-to-measure curtain primarily for internal partitioning and acoustic control, with lining choices to support blackout, thermal performance and double-sided presentation. For window-only applications, this sits as a specialist option where you want both room acoustic calming (echo reduction) and additional sound reduction, recognising the window construction remains the dominant factor.
- Dividing larger rooms into quieter zones (offices, studios, multi-use rooms)
- Reducing echo and improving speech clarity in shared spaces
- Privacy separation where a track-mounted divider is required
- Projects requiring flame retardant compliance to BS 5867 (see Spec tab)
Style option: single-sided vs double-sided
If the divider will be seen from both sides, select the double-sided lining/build option so the reverse is finished appropriately. This is particularly relevant for room partitions and open-plan layouts.
Our full guide on acoustics
Video guide explaining the difference between absorption (echo reduction) and insulation (sound blocking), and how to select the most suitable build.
Who uses our made-to-measure acoustic room dividers
Commonly specified where spaces need flexible separation and improved acoustics, including offices, studios, meeting rooms, education spaces, performance environments and multi-use rooms. Suitable where a track-mounted partition is preferred over fixed building work.
For external noise at windows, your source content notes performance depends heavily on glazing and draught sealing. In these cases the curtain may help, but it should be specified with realistic expectations and an appropriate track to support the overall weight.
Track guidance (weight and handling)
Your source content advises using a metal heavy duty curtain track. It also states a standard pair at 200cm x 200cm can weigh around 8kg. Please select a suitable track and fixing method for the substrate and load.

This is a company to do business withThis is a company to do business with. The quality of the material is first rate, with an excellent colour and fabric choice. The curtains fit the brief of being a thermal and acoustic room divider, and my heating bills have dropped dramatically, thanks to the thermal lining of the double curtain. The design with pinch pleats hangs beautifully and looks crisp and substantial, and the rail provided runs smoothly. An initial problem was speedily and courteously dealt with without any quibble. Customer service by phone and email was friendly yet business-like. The website advice and video on hanging is clear and excellent. I would absolutely recommend Direct Fabrics.0 people found this helpful

How to Measure For Curtains, Blinds and Tracks.
Pen and Paper
For recording your
measurements.
Helper
Someone to assist if your
windows are large .
Metal Tape Measure
As this will allow you to get a
rigid full length measurement.
Make sure your curtain tracks and poles are fitted in the position you want.
Choose the type of curtains that you would like and how you want to hang your curtains. See our heading styles guide
We recommend fitting your hardware first before measuring, this avoids any issues with not getting the perfect fit.
Measure your window using our main guide. Quick summary below. Remember wave, pinch, and designer headings require slightly different measurement
Measure in 3 places and take the shortest drop – Floors and ceilings can run out.
Double / Triple check your measurements
Choosing your Curtain Track Width
The width of the curtain track should extend past your window this allows for the curtains to stack back away from your window and allow light in.
Measure your recess and then add on 15cm on either side. For acoustics , we recommend further to fully cover the window and the surrounding area. In our test we added an additional 30cm to the width and also made the curtain floor length.
Wave curtains, for every 100cm of track the curtains will stack circa *18cm
Eyelet curtains, they will stack back circa 10cm per *70cm of track width
Pencil Pleat will stack approx 25% of the track width. eg. 210cm track will stack 52.5%
* all dependent on thickness of fabric

How to Measure for Blinds going Inside the Recess
- Measure the exact width of the recess in three places; at the top of the recess, in the centre of the recess and near the bottom - then take the smallest size.
- Measure the exact drop of the recess in three places on the left hand side of the recess, in the centre of the recess and on the right hand side of the recess - then take the smallest size.
- We will take one cm off the finished width size you have given us, to allow for the blind to pull up and down easily.
- Double check your measurements
- Cord Safety - Mounting Height - We ask for the mounting height of your blinds to allow for the cord to be 150cm off the ground. If mounting at 210cm This is what you enter in the Fitting height box. We make a deduction to ensure the cord is 150cm from the floor. Thus the cord loop will be 60cm
How to Measure Outside of the Recess
- Measure the recess in 3 places on the width and also 3 places on the drop. Take the widest measurement.
- Measure the width of the actual recess plus an additional amount – Usually from 7cm-15cm whatever you think looks appropriate. This is for overlap.
- Measure the exact drop of the recess. The blind would be fitted above the recess, so check the space above and add an amount on to the drop – usually from 7-15cm
- These sizes you have taken will be the size of the finished blind.
- Double check your measurements
- Cord Safety - Mounting Height - We ask for the mounting height of your blinds to allow for the cord to be 150cm off the ground. If mounting at 210cm This is what you enter in the fitting height box. We make a deduction to ensure the cord is 150cm from the floor. Thus the cord loop will be 60cm
Cubicle Tracks you have to measure with right angles from wall to wall where you want the track to go
Draw your room on a piece of paper with a sky view
Now measure from the wall to wall for straight tracks,
L Shape Tracks Measure to a point on the floor and mark with a piece of tape. Then for the other sides measure from the other wall to that point.
Always check for obstructions and fitting issues you may need to work around
