Acoustical Draperies

Treatments That Absorb Noise

Noise disrupts our rest and solitude. Long term exposure can be harmful and cause stress-related health problems.  If you live on a busy street and need to ‘muffle’ outside noises, there are window treatments that work effectively to absorb sound.  Layering a window with roman shades, draperies and top treatment like a fabric-covered cornice can reduce outside noises by creating ‘insulation’ at the window.
The Eco Smart Cellular Shade is another way to block noise – with it’s unique cell construction that traps and absorbs sounds as the shade fits into specially designed ‘tracks’ attached to the window’s interior.

Acoustical Draperies are useful for adding absorbency to a room that has many reflective surfaces, such as home theatres, etc..  Soundproofing (Blackout), drapes are a quick, effective and cheap way to improve room acoustics (hang on the walls), as well as to block sound from coming through walls, doorways, windows, patio doors, etc.  Especially effective on thin walls, such as mobile homes.
