Noise Reduction in Commercial Interiors
How acoustic drapery measurably improves the conversational and operational experience of hospitality, dining, and office spaces.
Commercial interiors fail at the acoustic plane more often than they fail at the architectural one. Acoustic drapery is the most effective and most flexible intervention available.
Restaurants
Properly specified acoustic drapery drops conversational decibel levels by five to seven points — the difference between a dining room that flows and one that fights.
Hotels
Guest-room acoustic privacy ratings improve measurably with heavy drapery.
Offices and boardrooms
Glass-walled boardrooms become acoustically fatiguing in fifteen minutes; drapery is the most effective fix.
