Soundproof Curtains FAQs
What are soundproof curtains?
Soundproof (also called acoustic or noise-reducing) curtains feature dense materials, often with special liners and layers, that help absorb and block ambient sound from outside (traffic, construction, neighbours) and inside (room echoes). At Atlantis Curtains, our soundproof curtain range is engineered specifically for the UAE climate, combining acoustic performance with luxury fabric aesthetics.
How much noise reduction can I expect?
Actual noise reduction depends on many factors: curtain material and thickness, how well it covers the window or wall, whether the room has other sound-leaks (doors, neighbouring walls), and ambient environment. Our soundproof curtains use high-density and multi-layer design, so in typical urban Dubai settings you will experience meaningful reduction in traffic or external noise.
Where are soundproof curtains best used?
Soundproof curtains work especially well in:
- Urban apartments with traffic or construction noise
- Homes near airports, highways, or busy roads
- Home offices needing quiet for calls/meetings
Studios (music, podcast, audio-editing) needing sound control.
At Atlantis Curtains, our custom fitting ensures the curtain covers the full span of the opening and is sized for maximum effect.
What should I look for when buying soundproof curtains?
Key features include:
- Thick, acoustic-rated fabric or dense liner (mass matters)
- Full width/height coverage of window with minimal gaps
- Overlap at sides and bottom to block sound leak
- Custom sizing matched to your space (window size, wall mount)
- Installation quality (track/rod, method)
Optional extras: blackout functionality, thermal insulation, motorisation
At Atlantis Curtains, our custom service allows you to choose fabrics, profiles, motorisation and matching aesthetics while ensuring acoustic performance.
Do soundproof curtains also block light or help with insulation?
Because soundproof curtains are typically heavy and have dense layers, they often double as blackout curtains (blocking light) and thermal curtains (reducing heat transfer). This means improved sleep, lower energy bills and enhanced comfort in hot climates (such as Dubai). Atlantis Curtains emphasises that our soundproof range blends acoustic, thermal and light-control benefits.
How are soundproof curtains installed and do I need professional help?
For maximum acoustic benefit you need: a curtain track or rod that spans the full width, the curtain mounted so it overlaps the wall/window, proper drop/length, and minimal gaps. Professional installers can ensure the curtain is mounted at the correct height, positioned to reduce sound leaks, and fitted with optional features (motorisation, remote control). At Atlantis Curtains we provide both custom measurements and expert installation as part of the service.
How do I care for and maintain soundproof curtains?
Maintenance tips:
- Vacuum or dust fabric regularly to remove particles which can reduce performance
- If machine-washable (check label) follow labelled instructions — otherwise professional cleaning is recommended
- Ensure track/rod and fixtures remain smooth and secure (so curtain hangs fully)
- Avoid leaving curtains open for long periods if you want consistent sound reduction.
Atlantis Curtains offers guidance on care post-installation.
What is the typical lead time and customisation options at Atlantis Curtains?
Because our soundproof curtains are custom-made (fabric selection, sizing, optional motorisation, colour matching), we generally ask for a site visit or measurement, fabric selection, then production and installation. Lead time varies depending on fabric choice, track/rod hardware, and installation complexity (especially in high-rise or difficult access apartments in Dubai). Contact our team for a detailed quote.
Can soundproof curtains solve all noise issues?
Soundproof curtains can reduce ambient noise and improve comfort greatly, but if the building has large sound-leaks (e.g., poorly sealed windows, thin walls, open doors, HVAC noise) you might still hear some noise. For full acoustic isolation you might need additional treatments (wall insulation, double glazing, acoustic panels). The curtains offer a stylish, practical and cost-effective first step — and at Atlantis Curtains we guide you through realistic performance expectations.
