Acoustic Curtain Systems

Cut machine noise to safe levels — without building a wall.

Quilted panels that absorb reflected noise and block what passes through — hung on track, cut to your opening, shipped from our floor to yours.

Why it matters

Noise on the floor is a compliance problem wearing a nuisance costume.

  1. Reverberant load

    Presses, compressors and blowers push sound past what a shift can safely absorb.

  2. Missed communication

    Crews stop hearing each other — and that is how a normal day becomes an incident report.

  3. Hearing loss & OSHA exposure

    Sustained exposure causes permanent damage and puts the plant outside compliance limits.

  4. The permanent-wall trap

    Construction, permits, downtime — and a footprint you can never move again.

Construction

Five layers, two jobs.

Most acoustic products either absorb sound or block it. The panel does both, and the difference is the black septum in the middle.

  1. Quilted fiberglass face

    Vinyl-coated and diamond-tufted. Takes the reflected noise out of the room.

  2. Acoustic batting

    The absorptive layer, converting sound energy before it bounces.

  3. Mass loaded vinyl septum

    Limp, dense, and heavy. This is the layer that earns the STC rating.

  4. Webbing binding & brass grommets

    Bound edges with heavy grommets on the top hem for track or hook mounting.

  5. Hook-and-loop overlap

    Panels seal to each other, because sound leaks through seams first.

Acoustic performance depends on the installation — room size, frequency, surfaces and layout all move the number. Send your layout and we'll tell you what to expect before you buy.

In service

Same panel. Three problems.

Four-sided acoustic curtain enclosure around industrial machinery

Machine enclosure

Wrap the loudest asset instead of treating the whole plant — four curtain walls hung from an overhead track frame.

Zone divider

Split loud from quiet with a full-height wall that moves when the line does — no demolition crew required.

Track and roller hardware carrying the curtain panels

Sliding access

Rollers in a steel track, so people and forklifts get through without dropping the barrier.

How it works

From layout to quiet in three steps.

  1. Send your layout

    Dimensions, what's loud, and what you're hanging from — or price it yourself in the configurator below.

  2. We build to the opening

    Quilted fiberglass, MLV core, bound edges, grommets and hardware — cut to your numbers, not a catalog size.

  3. Hang it and slide it

    Panels arrive ready for track or hooks. Roughly 85% of customers self-install from our instructions.

Configure

Price it as you spec it.

Enter the opening, pick the construction, watch the number. Send it in and our team confirms the final quote — no payment until you approve it.

Before you specify

Questions we get from plant engineers.

How much noise reduction can I expect?

It depends on room size, sound frequency, surfaces and layout, so we give estimates rather than guarantees — typically 10–25 dB. Send a layout and we'll work it before you order.

What's the difference between STC and NRC?

NRC measures how much sound a material absorbs inside a space, on a 0–1 scale. STC measures how much is blocked passing through a barrier. Higher is better on both, and this panel is built to do both jobs.

Can I use these outdoors?

They're designed for indoor installation. Some customers use them in semi-outdoor spaces, but warranty and rated performance apply indoors.

Do you install them?

We don't install directly, but we have a broad installer network — and roughly 85% of customers install from our instructions.

Can they open for equipment access?

Yes. Panels hang from track and roller systems and slide like a curtain, so people and forklifts get through without taking the barrier down.
