Acoustic Sheer Curtain Fabric

The Acoustic Sheer Curtain Fabric from Materialised is designed to improve sound absorption in spaces while offering a translucent, lightweight appearance. It helps reduce noise levels, making it ideal for environments where acoustics are important, such as offices, hotels, hospitals, and educational settings. These fabrics allow natural light to pass through while enhancing privacy and contributing to a quieter atmosphere.

How Acoustic Sheer Curtain Fabric Works – Trevira CS yarn

Woven with a ribbon-shaped Trevira CS yarn, this filament is the key to their sound absorption, managing the flow of sound waves repeatedly passing through and bouncing off a reflective surface. This changes the tone, becoming muffled, and results in the reduction of sound levels.

Trevira CS yarn can be woven into dense, textured fabrics. The density and structure of the fibres create numerous small gaps and pores within the material, which helps trap and absorb sound waves, reducing reverberation and echo in a room. This is particularly important in spaces like offices, theatres, or auditoriums, where controlling sound reflection is essential.

The texture and weave of fabrics made from Trevira CS yarn create a non-reflective surface, helping scatter sound waves instead of reflecting them directly. This improves sound diffusion and makes spaces more acoustically balanced.

NRC Explained

To quantify Materialised range as commercial acoustic solutions, each fabric is tested and awarded an NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) rating. The NRC measures the absorption effectiveness of the material and is calculated by averaging how absorptive a material is at four different frequencies.

The Materialised range’s acoustic sheer curtain fabric is tested at 250hz, 500hz, 1000hz, and 2000hz. The average result is then applied to the NRC scale of 0 to 1, where 1 indicates perfect sound absorption and 0 indicates no absorption.

Our NRC test methods position the acoustic fabric 100mm from the window or wall, i.e. with a 100mm air gap, and deliver an outstanding NRC rating of between 0.55 and 0.71.
