Designed to reduce external noise through the window and calm the room by reducing echo. Lab tested, British made, fire retardant as standard.

heat loss reduction
Pick the closest match. This keeps expectations realistic.
Traffic noise, voices, general outside noise
Good results when the curtain overlaps the window and you reduce drafts.
Bedroom sleep upgrade
Strong choice — noise reduction plus blackout plus thermal benefit in one curtain.
Aircraft noise
Often helpful, but results depend heavily on window quality and sealing.
Very low frequency bass or vibration
Curtains help, but building structure matters. Consider sealing upgrades alongside.
Straight talk: your window is the main barrier. The curtain is a proven upgrade, not a replacement for poor glazing.
Sound reduction
+4 dB over double glazing. 11 dB SRI as room divider.
True blackout
3-pass coated lining blocks light in and out.
Thermally certified
Reduces heat loss by 30% over double glazing.
Premium construction
360 gsm face + 370 gsm lining. Over 1 kg per m².
Fire retardant
BS5867 Part 2C face fabric. Part 2B lining.

These 3 rules are where most performance is won or lost.
Aim: higher + wider + floor length
1) Fit higher
Mount 15 to 20 cm above the window, or ceiling fit where possible.
2) Go wider
Overlap the window edges by 20 to 30 cm each side.
3) Seal drafts first
Air gaps are sound gaps. Improving seals delivers better results.
Our own test result
Fitting the curtain 30 cm wider than the window and making it floor length produced the +4 dB improvement shown in our certificates. Fitting tight to the frame produces a lower result.
About "up to 21 dB" claims
Some suppliers quote peak figures at very high frequencies (4,000+ Hz) where any dense fabric performs well. Our published results focus on realistic performance across the full frequency range.
Acoustic curtains are heavy — over 1 kg per m². Standard plastic tracks and lightweight poles are not suitable.
Contract Heavy Duty Curtain Track
Metal heavy-duty track rated to 60 kg. Black or white. Wave compatible. The recommended track for our full acoustic range.
We publish our certificates. Most competitors do not test at all.
Window test: 29 dB baseline → 33 dB with curtain (+4 dB)

How this test was conducted
Most acoustic lab tests mount material in a rigid sealed frame. Our curtains were tested mounted on a standard curtain rail in a normal domestic setup — the same way you would fit them at home. The test accounts for real edge gaps, real drape behaviour and a real installation method.
Getting +4 dB in a realistic mounted test is a more meaningful result than a higher figure from a sealed frame that no real installation would replicate.
Why the weighted average undersells performance
The Rw weighted figure of +4 dB is an average across all frequencies including the low bass range (below 200 Hz) where curtains — like all soft furnishings — have limited effect. At the frequencies human hearing is most sensitive to, the improvement is substantially higher.
Across the 630 Hz to 2,000 Hz range — where voices, traffic and most everyday noise sits — our curtain adds an average of 8 dB over the window alone.

The frequency range of speech and voices
Why does the weighted Rw show only +4 dB? The weighted figure follows a standardised calculation that includes low bass frequencies (below 200 Hz) where the window itself already provides good isolation and curtains add little. This pulls the average down significantly. The frequencies where the curtain makes the most difference — the mid-range where you actually hear noise — are not fully reflected in a single weighted number.

Lab Test Results — What the Numbers Mean
Herringbone acoustic fabric, 360 gsm. Designed to perform acoustically while looking like a premium curtain. Available in multiple colours and finishes.
Fire retardant
Face fabric: BS5867 Part 2C. Lining: BS5867 Part 2B.
Absorption
EN ISO 354: Grade A, 0.95 aw — excellent echo reduction.
Wash care
30 degrees when blackout lined. Dry clean recommended for best results.

Quick reference: a 10 dB change is commonly described as sounding roughly half as loud. Your result depends on the room, the window and how the curtain is fitted.

"They deaden or muffle noise from the street outside very well - cars, people. If there is very loud music the bass still comes through but it is muffled. They make the room much more cosy and combined with the blackout they are excellent."

"The rest of the house is now bearable when the drum kit is being played. I can have a conversation which I could not before, and it is not impacting our neighbours any more."
