Construction

Designed for mobility and durability

Sonic acoustic curtains are built to be installed, moved and re-hung across sites where rigid enclosures aren’t practical. The construction is designed to take repeated handling, weather exposure and rough site conditions.

  • Outer layer: heavy-duty weatherproof reinforced vinyl
  • Core: high-density acoustic barrier
  • Inner face: absorptive layer for sound energy dissipation
  • Edges: welded and reinforced for durability
  • Eyelets: industrial-grade for hanging UV-stabilised and fire-resistant materials

Optional features

  • Vision panels
  • Access door inserts
  • Ventilation zones
  • Hook and loop joining systems
  • Custom logos or branding

Testing & Compliance

Built to withstand harsh conditions

  • UV resistance: certified.
  • Weather resistance: validated for prolonged outdoor exposure. Independently tested to AS 1191-2002, AS/NZS ISO 717.1-2004 and AS ISO 354-2006
  • Results from NATA-accredited laboratory testing available on request

Modular. Reusable. Easy to install.

Unlike permanent enclosures, Sonic acoustic curtains can be removed or reconfigured on short notice with minimal tools or infrastructure.

  • Fast installation
  • Minimal space requirements
  • Can be folded, transported and reused
  • Configurable around site-specific layouts and structures

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Sonic Acoustic Curtains are innovative soundproofing solutions designed to reduce noise pollution in industrial and construction environments. They effectively combine sound barrier and noise absorption technologies to minimise noise transmission.

    • Sonic Acoustic Curtains work by blocking and absorbing sound waves. They feature layers of materials that reflect, absorb and dampen sound, thereby reducing noise levels within enclosed spaces or around designated areas.

    • Sonic Acoustic Curtains are versatile and can be used in various settings, including industrial facilities, construction sites, manufacturing plants, HVAC installations, and commercial spaces where noise control is essential.

    • Depending on the specific application and environmental factors, Sonic Acoustic Curtains can reduce noise from 15dB to 30dB or more. However, noise reduction may vary based on the installation method, curtain thickness, and surrounding conditions.

    • Yes, Sonic Acoustic Curtains are designed for ease of installation. Depending on the application, they can be mounted using various methods, such as hooks, hook and loop, or zip ties. Additionally, they come with installation instructions to ensure proper setup.

    • Yes, Sonic Acoustic Curtains can be customised to meet specific requirements. Customisation options include size, colour, material thickness, and additional features such as vision panels or branding/logo printing.

    • Yes, Sonic Acoustic Curtains are designed to withstand outdoor conditions. They are weatherproof, UV-resistant, and often feature fire-resistant properties, making them suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor environments.

    • While Sonic Acoustic Curtains are durable and low-maintenance, periodic inspection and cleaning may be necessary to ensure optimal performance over time. Cleaning methods typically involve mild detergent and water, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the curtain materials.

    • Yes, Sonic Acoustic Curtains are suitable for temporary installations, such as construction site enclosures or event spaces requiring noise control. They are lightweight, portable, and easy to install and remove as needed.

    • Yes, Sonic Acoustic Curtains are designed to comply with industry standards and noise control and safety regulations. They undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet or exceed relevant standards, assuring their performance and reliability.
