What is Acoustic Fabric

An acoustic fabric is designed to reduce the reverberation or echo in a room. The fabric construction, and the yarn used, allows for excellent sound absorption. Although not soundproof, Acoustic fabric will improve the quality of sound within a room by decreasing the reverberation of the echo.

What is Sound Absorption?

Sound absorption is the measure of the amount of energy removed from the sound wave as the wave passes through a given thickness of material. With the benefit of sound absorption, our fabrics will improve the quality of the sound within a room.

Why good acoustics are important

Good air, good light, and good ergonomics have long been standard features of workplaces, and rightly so. But good sound conditions are also important, because noise can affect us in a very negative way. It can damage our hearing even at low noise levels if it continues for a long time. And even if the noise pollution isn’t directly damaging, it can affect us indirectly in many ways. A noisy environment with long reverberation causes unnecessary stress, which in turn can lead to both physical and mental problems. Noise makes it more difficult to have a normal conversation. It makes us raise our voices, which leads to higher noise levels. Noise also affects our attention. We have a harder time concentrating, which negatively affects the work we do.

Studies show that long reverberation is the single largest factor leading to discontent and poorer health. The survey focused on teachers and shows that people who work in rooms with a long reverberation are six times more likely to look for a new job. They are less motivated and more fatigued. In addition, they experience the climate in classrooms as less relaxed and more aggressive.

Why choose Acoustic Curtains?

• Cost-effective noise reduction
• Conveniently adjustable
• Seamlessly complements interior decor
• Wide-range of fabric selection

With sound-absorbing textiles you reduce reverberation, which means the brain doesn't need to process as many irritating noises that have no informative value. This gives us a greater capacity for remembering, solving problems, and managing useful information. In other words, good acoustics are a good investment - both in terms of health and from a purely business perspective.
