Kvadrat

Who is Kvadrat?

Kvadrat is a Danish design textile house, known for high-quality, often wool-based fabrics and for textile acoustic solutions . The materials combine sophisticated design with functional properties — exactly what a good acoustic curtain needs.

How does a curtain absorb sound?

Sound is absorbed by soft, porous and heavy surfaces instead of reflected. Three things matter most for the effect of an acoustic curtain:

  • Mass and density of the fabric – the heavier, the more effective
  • Fullness – generously pleated, the curtain works better
  • Distance from the wall or glass – a bit of air behind it increases the effect

This is how reverberation is reduced noticeably, speech becomes clearer and the room feels calmer.

Where is an acoustic curtain worthwhile?

  • Home office and video calls – clearer speech intelligibility
  • Living spaces with lots of glass, stone or exposed concrete
  • Restaurants, practices, meeting rooms

The advantage over acoustic panels: the curtain combines sound absorption and shading in one — while still looking homely.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

Does an acoustic curtain really make a difference?

Yes. Heavy, densely woven fabrics absorb sound and noticeably reduce reverberation — especially in rooms with lots of glass, stone or bare walls.

What makes Kvadrat textiles suitable for acoustics?

Kvadrat specialises in high-quality, often wool-based design textiles and textile acoustic solutions that combine density with looks.

What determines the effect?

The mass and density of the fabric, a generous amount of fabric (pleating), and some distance from the wall or glass.

Does an acoustic curtain replace acoustic panels?

For many home and office situations, yes — it combines sound absorption and shading and looks more homely. For very high requirements, it can be combined with panels.
