Custom Acoustic Curtains

Acoustic curtains are the most elegant textile solution for reducing noise and improving the sound comfort of a space. I craft custom sound-deadening curtains in heavy velvet and acoustic wool for restaurants, home theatres, hi-fi listening rooms, offices, and commercial spaces in Sherbrooke and Estrie.

Velvet is the king of acoustic textile treatment: its density and thickness absorb mid and high frequencies, reducing reverberation and improving sound clarity. I work with high-density velvets, certified acoustic wools, and technical linings to maximize absorption performance. Every curtain is handcrafted, with generous pleats that increase the absorption surface area.

For Sherbrooke restaurateurs wanting to offer their diners a pleasant sound environment, for audiophiles setting up a listening room in Magog, or for Estrie businesses looking to improve workplace comfort, my custom acoustic curtains offer a solution that is both functional and beautiful. Consultation, fabric selection, and artisan craftsmanship in my atelier.

The question comes up often: can a curtain split a room in two? It can, and it is one of the things it does best. A large, heavy panel hung across the middle of a room breaks the travel of sound between the two halves and gives each one its own acoustic. In a loft, a shared bedroom, an open office or a finished basement, it is the fastest and least invasive way to divide a space.

One thing no shop will tell you: a curtain dampens, it does not soundproof. You will not get the silence of a wall. What you get is a clear drop in reverberation and in the clarity of voices carrying across. In most cases that is exactly what people want: to stop hearing the television on the other side as though it were playing in the same room.

The real problem with a divider is the fixing, not the fabric. A full-height acoustic velvet is heavy, and that weight lands on the ceiling, not the wall. That is why the no-drill solutions you see online, tension rods and extendable poles, hold a sheer and will not hold an acoustic panel. I do not supply hardware: I make the panel to the exact dimension, and you work out with your installer or your landlord which track the ceiling can take. Tell me the planned fixing before I cut, because it changes the heading and the fullness.
