The items you will require
Soundproof curtains are often an essential part of soundproofing a space. Whether you want to soundproof a music studio, practice space, or home theatre, soundproof curtains can help to keep sound from escaping the designated space and keep sound from the outside from intruding into the room.
Soundproof curtains work because they add additional sound dampening material while also providing an extra layer of walls and barriers between the source of sound and its destination.
When selecting soundproof curtains, make sure to choose products designed specifically for sound dampening purposes or ones made using sound absorbing materials such as acoustic foam.
Tips on How to Make Your Curtains
Making soundproof curtains is a project for those considering making their home or office more private or quiet. 3 layer construction is the most commonly used method.
First, you will need to select two pieces of heavy material for the back of the drapery trim and bottom hem.
Secondly, one layer of batting will be needed in between the two layers which will act as insulation from sound waves.
Finally, choose a thinner fabric that complements both in color and texture for the front of each drape panel that can be either gathered or pleated depending on your preference.
With 3 layar soundproof curtains, you not only get privacy but peace and quiet.
The art of hanging curtains
Installing 3 layer soundproof curtains in your home can be easy and efficient with a few basic steps. Start by holding the 3 layers up against the wall where you want to install them, making sure they are evenly placed before affixing them.

Finally, hang each individual curtain panel across the rod and adjust any unevenness by adjusting the clips that hold each panel securely. With just a few simple steps you'll have 3 layer soundproof curtains that look great and add a touch of style to your home.
