Allow for stacking space if you want the curtains to clear a window or door. By sizing the Quiet Curtains to completely cover side, top and bottom of the windows, you are minimizing the amount of sound that can get through to the other side. Traverse rods allow the fabric to overlap in the center and wrap around the sides to provide as much coverage as possible. When giving us measurements, provide width and length for each curtain. Add additional stacking space if you need the curtain to clear the window on either side. We suggest using heavy-duty Kirsch® traverse drapery rods for most applications. You choose whether your Quiet Curtains are center-opening or side opening (note from which side you’d like them to open). For Quiet Curtains which are extra-long (and heavy), we recommend a professional ADC® track that we can order for you. Please give us 2 -5 weeks to manufacture and ship your curtains. We professionally pack and ship the Quiet Curtains so they arrive ready to hang.

Simply choosing the right curtains can make the world of difference.  Acoustical Curtains for Reducing Noise Acoustical curtains are curtains that are specifically designed to reduce noise. They do this by absorbing the sound that comes through walls, doorways, windows, and so on.  Acoustical curtains work best when they are not stretched tight, so when you are installing them, you will need to allow for them to “fold”, so that they should be at least the width of the window or opening plus one third on top of this.  Also try and install acoustical curtains so that they overlap the window or opening, and don’t just meet the edges. 
For example, if you are using acoustical curtains on a window, make sure that the curtains extend a least a foot past the window frame on all sides. Blackout Curtains Help to Reduce Noise Blackout curtains are thick, dense curtains usually with a backing material that are traditionally used to stop light from entering the home through the windows.  However, their density also means that they are an excellent choice for reducing noise levels, or even as a form of soundproofing.  Don’t expect blackout curtains to block noise completely but they are able to reduce noise levels by up to 40 percent which is quite a significant amount.  A 40 percent noise reduction can make the difference between noise that is irritating and noise that you barely notice.  Also, even though they’re called a blackout curtain, that doesn’t mean that they are black in colour.  Blackout curtains are available in a wide range of colours and patterns. Use a Double Layer of Curtains Another effective way of using curtains to reduce noise is to actually use a double layer of curtains.
