Frequently asked questions

Every question, answered

Performance, measurements, weight, fitting, ordering and delivery: here are the answers to the questions we get asked most.

Our soundproof curtainsPerformance, materials, fitting and finish
Which noises do Sound Escape curtains reduce?

Our curtains are designed to reduce a wide range of everyday noise, in particular:

  • Traffic: cars, trucks, motorbikes and even trains.
  • Neighbors: conversations, music, televisions, noise from the stairwell or lawnmowers.
  • Aircraft: planes taking off or landing.
  • Building work: building sites, machinery and power tools.
  • Weather and wildlife: rain, animals and wind.
  • Nightlife: busy bars and restaurants nearby, for example.

They also cut reverberation inside the room, improving its acoustics. Very high-pitched sounds are reduced a little less.

What does 21 dB of noise reduction sound like?

You can hear a simulated reduction of 21 dB for yourself. Turn your volume up a little, keep it the same for both recordings, then play them one after the other.

Without curtain
With curtain

The “with curtain” recording simulates a 21 dB reduction. Keep the volume identical for both recordings so the comparison is meaningful.

How thick and how heavy are the curtains?

Our curtains are about 0.3 inches thick, which is what allows several layers of highly effective sound-absorbing material to be combined.

Despite their multi-layered construction, the curtains are designed to hang from almost any good-quality rod or track, and two curtains can share the same rod. Work out the approximate weight of yours below:

Should I choose a single curtain or a pair?

For noise reduction, both work equally well, because the curtains can overlap and leave no gap between them.

So simply choose whichever is more practical for your room and looks better to you.

Can I use your curtains to divide a room?

Yes, easily. Our soundproof curtains do not need a window or a door to do their job.

Want both sides to look the same? Just choose “Yes” under “Make both sides of the curtain look identical?” and the silver surface is covered with the decorative fabric.

Can the curtains be fitted near a radiator?

We recommend leaving about 2 inches between the curtain and the radiator. Sound Escape curtains also insulate, so without that gap the heat would struggle to reach the room.

What size are the grommets?

Our grommets have an inner diameter of 1.6 inches, which fits most curtain rods.

Are the curtains flame retardant?

Our standard curtains are not flame retardant. They do not currently hold CAN/ULC-S109 certification.

For projects with specific fire safety requirements, such as hotels, offices or public buildings, we also offer fire rated versions. Just get in touch.

Sizing & orderingMeasuring, configuring and ordering
How do I choose the right measurements?

The easiest way is our interactive size guide: a few quick questions and you have the exact length and width to order, whether you have a rod or a track and whether or not the curtain should reach the floor.

If you would rather have a hand, send us your measurements or a photo of your window and we will confirm the right size for your order.

How do I place an order?

Ordering is straightforward. Go to the soundproof curtain page and configure your curtain:

  • Color: pick the color you want.
  • Curtain width: choose the width using the “made to cover” figure.
  • Curtain length: enter the length you need.
  • Hanging method: choose the option that suits your rod or track.

Choose the quantity, click “Add to cart” and complete your order. There is no need to contact us first.

Configure your curtains
Do you sell rods or tracks?

No, we currently sell curtains only. However, they are compatible with any standard curtain rod or track.

If you choose the hooks attachment, the hooks are included.
