Soundproof curtains are a great way to keep your home sound-free. But which acoustic curtains should you choose? In this guide, Redesign Deco will be sharing some of the tips in choosing the right acoustic curtains.
1: Types of Acoustic Curtains
There are a few different kinds of acoustic curtains on the market right now. These drapes employ sound waves to reduce noise and improve the comfort of your home or workplace.
Some acoustic drapes adhere to the wall using magnets, separating you from the outside world. These curtains typically have a very wide range of sound blocking abilities, meaning they can block out most sounds.
Other acoustic curtains use sound waves to create an echo effect. This effect makes it so that only certain sounds can pass through the curtain, such as voices. This type of curtain is perfect for rooms where you want to keep noise levels low, like a bedroom.
2: How Do You Choose The Right Type Of Acoustic Curtain For Your Home?
When it comes to acoustic curtains for your home, there are a few things to consider. The type of curtain, the size and shape of the window, and the noise level in your home all need to be taken into account.
The curtain type is obviously important – you don’t want sound bouncing back and echoing in your home. You’ll also want to think about whether you want sheer or fabric curtains. Acoustic curtains come in both types, so it’s up to you which one is more suitable for your needs.
The size and shape of your window will affect what type of acoustic curtain will work best. You’ll need something that’s at least 72 inches wide and 30 inches high or higher if you have a standard-sized window. If your window is smaller or larger than those dimensions, you might need a different kind of acoustic curtain altogether (like a thin drapery).
In terms of noise level, remember that louder noises will bounce off an acoustic curtain more easily than quieter noises will. If you live in a noisy area, choose an acoustic curtain with greater sound blocking abilities (like a thick fabric curtain). Conversely, if you live in a quieter area, a sheer acoustic curtain might not be necessary.
Acoustic curtains, which are designed to be closed around windows, will only function if the window is closed. If you want your curtains to also act as window coverings, make sure to purchase a set of matching curtain rods.

When installing acoustic curtains, follow these easy steps:
- Measure the width and height of your window, then find the appropriate acoustic curtain size on our website.
- Unfold the acoustic curtain and place it in front of the window. Make sure that it is correctly aligned so that the edges of the curtain fall evenly across the top and bottom of the window.
- Pin or tape down one end of the curtain to hold it in place. Do not use staples or nails – they can damage your curtains!
- Repeat steps 2-3 for each side of your window, making sure to overlap each edge of each curtain by at least 1 inch (2 cm).
- Finally, trim off any excess curtain fabric with scissors or a fabric cutter.
Choosing the right type of acoustic curtain can be difficult, but it’s important to do so if you want to keep your home quiet and peaceful. If you
