Acoustic Draperies
Acoustic Draperies That
Combine Design and Sound Control
Engineered textile systems that reduce reverberation and improve acoustic comfort while functioning as flexible architectural elements.
Flexible Sound Absorption in a Textile Form.
Acoustic curtain systems provide a visually integrated solution for controlling reverberation and improving acoustic comfort in open or highly reflective spaces. These systems utilize specialized acoustic textiles engineered with interwoven polyester fibers that interact with air to absorb sound energy, allowing designers to improve room acoustics if you're wanting to avoid wall panels or ceiling treatments.
Our draperies are laboratory‑tested, field‑proven drapery solutions designed to achieve both sound absorption (up to 1.0 NRC) and sound blocking (STC 13 or 17). Combining form and function, they offer elegant aesthetics with exceptional performance for residential and commercial applications.

These curtain systems are perfect for:
- Open-plan offices and collaborative workspaces
- Restaurants and hospitality interiors
- Conference rooms and training facilities
- Educational environments
- Residential living spaces
- Areas with large glass surfaces or reflective finishes
Acoustic Draperies
Curtain Types
Acoustic curtain systems consist of sound-absorbing textile panels mounted on track systems or suspended installations, allowing them to function as movable acoustic treatments or permanent architectural elements. The acoustic performance is achieved through patented fiber technology composed of inherently fire-resistant polyester fibers, which absorb sound energy while maintaining the appearance and functionality of decorative fabric.
These curtain systems are designed to help reduce reverberation and improve speech clarity, particularly in spaces with large glazing areas, hard finishes, or open layouts. By integrating acoustic performance directly into textile materials, acoustic curtains provide a solution that blends sound control, interior architecture, and sustainability.

Why Memtech’s Sourced Approach Excels
Most companies that sell “soundproof curtains” rely on generic imports with unverified claims. They may absorb a small amount of acoustic energy, but rarely deliver measurable results. At Memtech, we take an engineered approach that ensures you get more than just fabric, you get proven acoustic performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are acoustic curtains used for?
Acoustic curtains are designed to reduce reverberation and improve speech clarity in spaces with reflective surfaces such as glass, concrete, or drywall. They are commonly used in offices, restaurants, meeting rooms, and other commercial interiors.
How do acoustic curtains absorb sound?
Acoustic curtains use specialized textile fibers that interact with air pressure to absorb sound energy. When sound waves pass through the fabric, the fibers dissipate acoustic energy, turning it into heat.
Are acoustic curtains as effective as wall panels?
Acoustic curtains are typically used to supplement wall or ceiling treatments, but they are not intended to be the primary method of noise control. When properly specified, they can noticeably improve reverberation control in spaces with large windows or open layouts.
Can acoustic curtains be used like standard curtains?
Yes. Many acoustic curtain systems are installed on track systems, allowing them to function like traditional curtains while also providing acoustic absorption.
Where are acoustic curtain systems most effective?
These systems work particularly well in spaces that include large glass surfaces, open floor plans, or minimal wall treatment, where traditional acoustic panels may not be practical.
Can acoustic curtains help improve speech privacy?
Acoustic curtains primarily reduce reverberation, which improves speech clarity and reduces excessive reverberation. When combined with other acoustic treatments, they can also support improved speech privacy.
