Noise control curtains are portable, flexible acoustic barriers used in industrial environments instead of permanent enclosures. Suitable for equipment maintenance, welding/line changes and other temporary noise needs. Modular PVC-faced absorbing panels deliver 15-25 dB attenuation.
What is a noise control curtain?
A noise control curtain is a modular curtain panel built from sound-absorbent fill inside a metal frame, with a PVC or acoustic-fabric outer face. It is hung from the ceiling or fixed on a floor frame, and can be dismantled and moved to another location when needed.
When to use them
- While a piece of equipment is being maintained on a production line
- For loud temporary work such as welding/grinding
- Line separation in open-plan industrial spaces
- Temporary noise reduction on construction sites
- High-dB test rooms
- Localised acoustic control needs
Solution types
- Hung curtain: modular panel suspended from the ceiling
- Floor-framed curtain: fixed panel on a mobile base frame
- Translucent curtain: PVC visual panels + acoustic protection
- Modular acoustic enclosure: full surround
- Track system: hung + sliding curtain
Performance
Typical acoustic curtain panel:
- Rw: 18-25 dB
- NRC (absorbent face): 0.80+
- Fire class: B-s1, d0 minimum
- Oil/moisture resistance: through PVC face
Advantages
- Quick installation (within hours)
- Portable / reusable
- Maintenance-friendly (can be dismantled and cleaned)
- Ideal for temporary solutions
- Low investment compared to a permanent enclosure
Time and cost
A modular curtain system is up and running in 1-3 days. Investment is typically 30-50% of a permanent acoustic enclosure — economical for temporary applications.
