Made to measure sound proof curtains, designed how you need them
We are here to help you choose the right product and lining option for your use case.
Choosing your curtain and lining options
- Unlined face only: for acoustic absorption and echo reduction (C rating absorber).
- 1 layer lining: 2db over a window, 10db as a room divider.
- 2 layers lining: 4db (estimated) over a window, 13db as a room divider.
- 1 layer lining plus face reverse: estimated 11 to 12db decorative room divider.
If you want a room divider to look good on the reverse side, select double sided in the lining options.
An acoustic curtain that works
Direct Fabrics specialise in contract curtains and acoustic sound proofing curtains. This range is laboratory tested for both sound insulation (sound blocking) and sound absorption (echo reduction and clarity).
The curtains perform best as a room divider because there is no other obstruction doing the work. Over a window, double glazing typically handles most of the insulation and the curtain improves specific frequencies.
Our full guide on acoustics
This video explains our acoustic options and helps you choose what will work for your situation. Main fabric discussed is the herringbone.

Our product is laboratory proven and has the following features:
- Certified performance varies by layers: up to 2db with a double glazed window and 10db as a room divider (EN ISO 1040-1 stated in your content).
- Decorative product as well as sound blocking.
- Works with standard curtain tracks and poles.
- Room divider results assume no other obstruction between spaces.
- If there is a door or wall doing the work already, the perceived impact is lower.

Frequently asked questions about sound proof curtains
This depends on how your room is constructed and most importantly the windows. Draughty or single glazed windows typically show the biggest perceived improvement.
In laboratory testing we observed a 4db improvement with a double glazed window in a block structure room. Real-world results vary based on gaps, flanking paths, and building construction.
Customer feedback example: triple glazed windows in a modern London apartment reported around a 50% reduction in perceived noise.
Road noise is often low frequency, so some noise may enter via the structure of the building. For higher frequencies, these curtains can dull the sound and reduce room reverberation.
Similar to road noise, it depends on the construction of your room.
Customers have noted up to a 50% improvement when combining quality glazing with our curtains. Where many people notice the improvement is reduced reverberation in the room because the curtain acts as an absorber.
Use a metal heavy duty curtain track. Our curtains are heavy. For example, a standard pair 200cm x 200cm can weigh around 8kg. We recommend our optimal track or our roller runner track. Roller runner track
There is no physical difference. We explain the same product for different use cases. Room divider tests show around 11db depending on lining, and window tests show around 4db uplift over double glazing.
Absorption is about reducing reverberation and echo inside a room. It is tested using EN ISO 354 and graded A to E based on how much sound is absorbed.
Simple way to think about it: sound hits surfaces and is either transmitted out or reflected back. The absorption coefficient indicates how much is absorbed rather than reflected.
Sound insulation measures sound passing between two spaces, comparing an open aperture versus sealed with the test product. This is typically measured in decibels to show the reduction, referenced in your copy as EN ISO 717.
| Changes in STC Rating | Changes in Apparent Loudness |
| +/- 1db | Almost imperceptible |
| +/- 3db | Just perceptible |
| +/- 5db | Clearly noticeable |
| +/- 10db | Twice (or half) as loud |
| Sound Level DB | Source | Sensation |
| 130 | Jet aircraft at 100ft | Physical pain |
| 110 | Thunder / artillery / disco | Deafening |
| 90 | Loud street / loud factory | Very loud |
| 70 | Cocktail party, noisy office, average street noise | Loud |
| 50 | General office, noisy home | Moderate |
| 30 | Private office, quiet home, empty gym | Faint |
| 10 | Rustle of leaves, whisper | Very faint |
| 0 | Threshold of audibility | Nil |
Yes. This is one of the best use cases. Laboratory tests show approximately 11db to 13db depending on lining.
Real-world results can differ from laboratory tests because sound can travel around the curtain via gaps and flanking paths. In testing, the track was mounted above the window and extended beyond the sides to demonstrate improvement.

A stellar company!This is a fantastic, friendly and helpful company to deal with! Every member of staff I've spoken to has been lovely and very personable. In the days of AI chatbots, it's been really nice to deal with real humans. My curtains came well before I expected them to and have exceeded my expectations having never had custom made curtains before. The material is flawless, the curtains are thick and do exactly as promised- block the light, control the temperature and muffle the sound from the road! Well worth the money for an immaculate purchase. I forgot to add my colour of choice to the order as I was managing a bereavement and a house move simultaneously; I felt like a bit of a fool but the lady I spoke to was so sweet and understanding and also matched my sense of humour which I appreciated greatly. I highly recommend this company, a business that deserves your support and your money! 10/10!0 people found this helpful

Supplied and Fitted Acoustic CurtainsBuilding Contractor Feedback and Customer Feedback - name redacted. Shortly after the space became operational, demolition works began on the courthouse directly opposite the building. This has created significant challenges for the company (large plc), as the newly completed office functions as a presentation suite. The noise from the demolition is substantial and vibrations are clearly felt through both the walls and floor. This has led to ongoing discussions with the property agent, as this activity should have been flagged earlier in the process. What this situation has clearly demonstrated, however, is just how effective the curtain solution is. When the curtain is closed and a live presentation is running, the difference is immediately noticeable. The reduction in noise and vibration is not subtle, it is genuinely significant. This applies both to in room presentations and those being broadcast globally at the same time. The feedback from company has been extremely positive. The curtain has proven to be a critical element in maintaining the usability of the space under very challenging conditions, and everyone involved has been impressed by the level of performance it delivers.
