Why Use Acoustic Curtains?

Posted on by Amcraft Tech Admin

Why Use Acoustic Curtains?

Acoustic curtains are manufactured for reducing noise throughout a specific work area. At AmCraft Manufacturing, we offer a variety of

acoustic curtains,

including noise separators, noise enclosures, and noise control baffle systems. These curtains can work for OSHA compliance situations as well as informal noise containment, and can provide great benefits for the spaces they’re used in. If you’re unsure if your workspace needs acoustic curtains, read on to learn more about them.

Benefits of Acoustic Curtains

Excessive noise in any workplace can be detrimental to productivity. In addition to being distracting, noise can also be harmful to an employee’s health: nagging headaches, high blood pressure, and anxiety can be exacerbated when one is subjected to prolonged periods of time in loud environments. Hearing loss is a common problem for employees who work in such conditions.

Acoustic curtains and noise control systems can help with the above mentioned issues a great deal. Acoustic baffle systems reduce the echo and reverberation in a loud venue or space, which is helpful for areas where “sound bouncing” is prevalent, such as areas made with drywall, glass, tile, and other materials that allow sound to resonate for a long period of time. Additionally, acoustic curtains allow for a more efficient use of space: you can create separate work areas when sound is effectively blocked, ensuring better, safer working conditions for your employees.

Differences Between Enclosures, Separators & Control Systems

There are different levels of sound-cancelling acoustic curtains. At AmCraft, we offer noise enclosures, noise separators, and noise control baffle systems.

Noise enclosures create complete of room-type areas used to confine a source of sound, or to confine a quiet area. Enclosures prevent a substantial percentage of noise from leaving or from entering the enclosure. This is ideal in industrial settings where machinery is very loud, as it shields employees from having to listen to the sound all day long.

Noise separators are used for creating a barrier between one space and another, allowing the sound to keep from disrupting the neighboring area. A typical use for this is in a sports facility where courts near each other need to be kept separate.

Finally noise control baffle systems are used to absorb noise in areas prone to high decibel sound sources. Sound-absorbing wall panels, acoustic baffles, and flexible acoustic banners all help lessen echo and reverberation within an area.

Which product will be best for your space depends on your specific needs. Call AmCraft today for more information about noise reducing solutions at 847-439-4565 or email at sales@amcraftonline.com.

Things to Consider When Choosing Acoustic Curtains

Posted on by Amcraft Tech Admin

Things to Consider When Choosing Acoustic Curtains

At AmCraft Manufacturing, we are proud to offer our clients a variety of noise reducing solutions for a number of applications. When it comes to making your own decision about what product is best for your needs, it’s helpful to consider the most pressing factors in order to ensure you’re getting the most effective acoustic solution. Once you’re able to determine your needs, choosing the right product for your use becomes much easier.

Type of Noise

Decibel and frequency describe the sound level and number of cycles of a sound wave in one second – in other words, how loud or how high- or low-pitched a noise is. What is the source of the noise? This will help you determine which is the best solution.

Sound Frequency

Frequency, or pitch, is a major factor in how easy or difficult it can be to reduce the sound. Lower frequency sounds are harder to contain or block than are higher frequency sounds. Low frequency sound waves have a greater length for the wave cycle to travel – they carry the sound further. For example, thunder would be harder to contain than someone playing the flute.

Noise Intensity

The intensity of a noise is going to directly impact the type of product you’ll need to contain it – in other words, how loud is the sound? The decibel (dB) range of the sound to be reduced will help determine the type of noise control system, and the strength of sound attenuation medium that will be best for your needs.

Permanent or Temporary Solutions

The best sound reducing solution will be one that’s installed permanently. However, in many situations, a truly permanent option is either not feasible for the space or not conducive to the needs and activities of the organization. Since noise is energy that “bounces,” it must be “consumed” through a combination of absorption and blocking.

Acoustic curtains

provide the perfect combination, making it easy to reduce sound in an area. Depending on the type of noise you are dealing with, particularly the size and source of the noise, some products might work better than others. If you’re ready to get to work on your noise-reducing project but need a bit more guidance about which method is best for reducing sound from entering or leaving a space, contact AmCraft today at 847-439-4565 or email us at sales@amcraftonline.com.

The “Silent Treatment”:  Sound Abatement Curtains Illustrated

Posted on by Amcraft Tech Admin

The “Silent Treatment”: Sound Abatement Curtains Illustrated

Sound abatement curtains

are vital to industrial and commercial industries for a variety of applications for mainly two reasons:
  • To make sure the clamor of industrial noise is drastically reduced to boost productivity and safety
  • To meet OSHA requirements of noise pollution within a warehouse space (or other large area facilities).
Industrial noise is caused by manufacturing processes, human voices, and several different types of machinery. The source of most industrial noise as a nuisance is machinery. Illustrated below are sound barrier curtains, noise baffles and wall panels, sound enclosure options and examples on how best to use them. Watch the machine get the “silent treatment”!

“Great Barrier Relief”: Sound Barrier Curtains

Sound barrier curtains provide a flexible noise reducing option to separate the sound source from the rest of the facility. The sound from the machinery, using just one panel, muffles the noise so, although it still can be heard, it provides a quieter environment for workers. The sound abatement, in this case, is usually in an entryway or 3-walled room that opens up to the main workspace within a larger area.

It’s Quite Baffling… and Paneling, Too: Noise Baffles and Wall Panels

Noise Baffles and wall-mounted noise panels reduce the sound bouncing off of reflective surfaces, such as tile, glass, metals, cement, and other hard surfaces. Machinery causes a great deal of raucous, and the machine’s sound waves, which are generally low-frequency, are much longer than high frequency sound waves. They bounce off the walls, ceiling, and floor surfaces, but are much harder to “break down” than high frequency noises.

AmCraft sound baffles and wall-mounted acoustic panels help to absorb the reverberation (sound reflection) by limiting the length of the sound waves to a minimum. Normally used in conjunction with a sound barrier curtain, baffles and wall panels make the sound more bearable for the people on the other side.

Silence is Golden: Sound Enclosures

Sound enclosures seal off a noise source and can dramatically reduce the sound to “barely audible.” The construction of the sound enclosure walls includes a sound barrier membrane as well as a noise absorber, ultimately absorbing the wavelength and stopping the noise from exiting the area. It has four walls and all “cracks” in which sound waves may escape are enclosed, providing the optimal sound abatement solution.

When the curtain walls of the industrial sound enclosure are “flipped” over (so the noise absorption layer is facing outwards), the noise enclosure becomes a silenced room that keeps the source of noise out and the quiet environment in. For more sensitive processes, such as small electronics assembly, or tedious equipment testing procedures, a sound barrier curtain enclosure is ideal for creating an environment that requires great concentration and focus.

A sound abatement divider can be used to control environments for different purposes, in various applications, and across the many industries where ambient industrial noise is a problem.

Noise Control Curtains for the Noisiest Industries

Posted on by Amcraft Tech Admin

Noise Control Curtains for the Noisiest Industries

When the top 4 noisiest industries and applications have extended far beyond the hazardous decibel levels, industrial noise control curtains are a formidable solution at greatly reducing the noise. AmCraft offers several industrial sound curtain products that will assist in the cancellation of noise.

Take a look below at the Top 4 Industries of Noise.

1. The Manufacturing Industry

Manufacturing serves as one of the largest industries in the U.S. It is also the industry with the greatest number of recorded illnesses due to hearing loss – roughly 1 of 9 manufacturing-related injuries. In a large space with many different types of reflective surfaces (metal, glass, etc.), the amount of reverberation coupled with the extreme noise levels of loud machinery create an environment dangerous for the health and safety of workers.

Sound control industrial curtains create barriers that can be moved out of the way to open up a space, or closed, as a way to separate the noise from reaching other areas. Industrial noise control curtain enclosures can also isolate areas and noise at the source. Combined with other industrial sound insulating curtain products, such as acoustic baffles and/or wall panels, absorbing the low frequency sound waves of machinery creates a more comfortable and safe environment for everyone.

2. Construction Industry

When you pass by any construction site, you may notice the sound level to be quite loud. Now imagine being exposed to this on a regular basis. Construction workers, foremen, and even those in the areas surrounding construction sites are exposed to 85dB of sound or higher for long, extended periods of time. A hammer drill, a jackhammer, and other tools have a decibel output of around 115dB! The use of industrial sound curtains to decrease noise to safer levels for construction proves to be an effective solution.

One example is using industrial sound curtains to minimize noise in residential areas during railroad construction. Placing an outdoor barrier along the construction site helps to dampen the source of noise. As railroad workers move along the track, the outdoor sound panels can be re-configured to move along with the source of noise.

Within an industrial park, the construction of new commercial buildings tends to disrupt surrounding businesses. Industrial sound insulation dividers help to alleviate the construction noise by creating temporary industrial noise control partitions.

If you are adding a wing or re-constructing parts of an existing building while a business is still running, it is important to maintain a safe level of noise. In offices, conference areas, hospital rooms, classrooms, hotel rooms, and their occupants are all affected by the sound distractions of construction, ultimately affecting business in one way or another. Industrial noise cancelling curtains would help reduce effects of the sound source and create a more pleasant environment.

3. Airport Industry

The sound of a jet engine is approximately 140dB in noise level. Imagine several jet engines in one area, being serviced! For aircraft hangar applications, the use of an industrial grade curtain wall for sound control is vital. With sound reducing baffles and noise reducing wall panels absorbing the low frequency sound reflections, the industrial curtains are made to decrease noise levels and absorb longer sound waves in order to reduce the jet engine noise, creating a comfortable working environment for workers and technicians to better service airplanes, helicopters and other aerospace vehicles.

4. Nightlife / Entertainment Industry

A club has loud music that is well above 100dB. A concert venue has well above 100dB in loud, live music (amplifiers, guitars, musicians of all genres). Both venues harbor a great density of people within a limited amount of space. Reverberation bounces off the reflective surfaces, affecting the health and safety of several hundred (and sometimes thousands) of club hoppers, audience members, staff, and fans everywhere.

Sound deadening industrial curtain products, such as baffles and wall panels, will help dampen the noise which permeates through each venue, making the club environment and / or musical experience more enjoyable and comfortable for fans and “clubheads” everywhere.

Noise control curtain options serve various industries across the board for various functions. From classic warehouse applications to entertainment venues, AmCraft has a noise control curtain product for any industry.

Differences Between Acoustic Curtain Panels

Posted on by Amcraft Tech Admin

Differences Between Acoustic Curtain Panels

Acoustic industrial curtain panels are made to reduce noise and sound reflection between areas and/or within a large space. For example, they can be used to shield employees from loud machinery within a factory or reduce echo in a recreational venue. Sometimes, various options work together to provide industries optimal noise blocking and reverb reduction qualities. There are a few

different types of acoustic curtain panels

, so if you’re considering using them, it’s important to know the differences between the different types.

Noise Control Enclosure Curtains

Noise control curtains are fully enclosed systems for “roping off” sound and containing it within a certain area. They can be used to keep noise from entering of a workspace area, as well. They can be hung from the ceiling, on a track system, or directly onto the walls, and are available as stationary acoustic panels or retractable sound curtains. Retractable curtains allow the area to be opened up when the curtain is not in use, and closed for when the noise source requires containment. Users can employ one, two, or three existing walls for their noise control enclosure curtain system, or choose to utilize a freestanding system (limited heights available – contact us today for more information).

Acoustic Baffle Systems

Acoustic baffle systems are made to reduce the amount of echo and reverberation within a large space. Excessive noise can be a detriment to overall operations – audience comfort at an entertainment venue, worker productivity, and overall health, just to name a few. With hearing loss being one of the most frequently reported work injuries in the United States, it’s essential to corral high levels of noise to prevent things like headaches, high blood pressure, tinnitus, and other medical issues. Acoustic baffle systems are sound-absorbing, and help to reduce reverberations and sound reflection. They can be placed in multiple zones and configurations in an effort to redirect and absorb sound and echo. This is especially helpful for low frequency, high decibel sound sources, as they are the most difficult to reduce and the most common frequency/decibel combination across many industries.

Sound Barrier Wall Panels

While baffle systems are usually smaller and in multiple places, sound barrier wall panels are quickly assembled and provide complete walls for reducing noise from one area to the next. When AmCraft constructs sound barrier curtains, both sound-absorbing and sound-blocking technologies are used for optimal effectiveness. With proper application of sound barrier panels, it’s possible to lower the sound level to a comfortable noise level on the other side of the partition. AmCraft offers noise-reducing sound barriers in different construction types to provide different levels of noise control, based on your application and industry. Unlike acoustic baffle systems, which merely absorb the noise (in its most basic construction), sound barrier wall panels will absorb the sound wavelengths and greatly reduce the decibel level.

If you have any questions regarding acoustic curtains, wall panels, enclosures or baffles, contact AmCraft today at 847-439-4565 or email sales@amcraftonline.com.

Reducing Reverb in Recreational Venues

Posted on by Amcraft Tech Admin

Reducing Reverb in Recreational Venues

If you look around your local health clubs, indoor pools, theaters, auditoriums, gymnasiums, or concert halls, you may notice panels and/or that are located sporadically across the venue – these are, more than likely, sound-absorbing wall panels, noise control curtains, and/or partitions.

If you listen closely at each of these venues, there may be a clamor of echoes which permeates throughout the large area. This “clamor” is called reverberation (or reverb), which consists of several different sounds bouncing off of reflective structural materials within a given area – sounds which have a different time and decay. Greater reverb is normally proportionate to the size of the venue. In most cases, the sound reverberation that occurs becomes an issue of comfort and audibility. A noise control curtain wall can cancel the noise considerably to absorb and block noise from going into different areas.

Reverberation explained

There is a direct signal that has a straight path to the listener. The early reflections take more time to travel to the listener, transmitting the same sound at a weaker decibel level and a later time – this description is called decay. The picture below shows three instances in which sound travels to the listener, all at different times. This causes the listener to hear the identical sound many times, creating an echo effect, known as reverberation.

Echo, echo, echo…

For a gymnasium, health club, or indoor pool, there are several hard, reflective surfaces in which sound can “bounce” in unpredictable directions. The audibility of PA speakers and personal conversations becomes very difficult to understand, as there are sounds traveling through the area. Sound-absorption wall panels can be mounted onto the ceiling, the walls, and from other structural entities to reduce noise caused by reverberant activity.

In concert halls, theaters, and auditoriums, there could be several sound sources that radiate sound energy, that when not properly absorbed, will cause a reverberated “chaos” that allows sound waves to travel to each member of the audience from all different angles. For most performances, direct sound signals are preferred. In this case, the sound-absorbing panels can be mounted onto each wall to minimize the number of sound reflections to each member of the audience. One can also utilize an acoustic industrial curtain to mount as the stage backdrop area, making sure the sound does not reflect off of the back wall of the stage. Additionally, in some performances, a venue may still require just a mild reduction of the reverberant noise, in which less noise control panels would be applied.

Noise control panels and acoustic industrial partitions can be used to make sure reverberant sound is either directed for optimal auditory needs (in a performance venue) or reverberant noise is canceled and/or reducedto a comfortable level for audiences. Whatever the case may be, AmCraft has a customized sound-absorbing panel solution that is dependent upon your needs. For more information on the different types of panels we offer, please go to: Acoustic Industrial Solutions. Call our technical specialists today at 847-439-4565.

Why Should You Be Using Acoustic Curtains?

Posted on by Amcraft Tech Admin

Why Should You Be Using Acoustic Curtains?

Keeping noise from permeating an entire space can seem like a tough thing to do, especially in industrial settings. Sure, industrial curtains can be installed, but unless they are

acoustic curtains,

they won’t do much about absorbing sound. There are a few reasons why acoustic curtains are great for these sorts of settings, and there are some areas where you may not even think of using acoustic curtains that could benefit from their presence.

Main Benefit of Using Acoustic Curtains

You may already be aware of OSHA regulations regarding employees being exposed to loud noises, but if not, it’s important to familiarize yourself with them so that your place of business is safe and legal for workers. Of course, one of the benefits of using acoustic curtain systems is that they create a sound barrier to the noise from polluting areas where the noise-making activity is not taking place. One way to check if noise levels are problematic is to simply observe workplace behavior. If noise levels are above 80 decibels (dB), people will have to speak very loudly to hear one another. From 85-90dB, people will have to shout, and at levels greater than 95dB, people have to move close together to hear each other speak at all. The main benefit of using acoustic curtains, of course, is to maintain a manageable, safe level of sound for workers.

Best Applications

The best applications for acoustic curtain panels include businesses where warehouse space is shared and one space is louder than another, or a place where loud construction is taking place, such as an office building. Acoustic sound-reduction curtains can be static or temporary, meaning you can install them as permanent fixtures if the noise will always be an issue, or you can install them for a short period of time and remove them when the sound issues have been resolved. Industrial acoustic panels are very versatile, even available in retractable models for temporarily retracting an otherwise permanent curtain.

How to Find the Best Curtain

There are different types of acoustic industrial curtains available, of course. You’ll need to assess a few things before you choose the type you want—for instance, the higher the noise level, the thicker your acoustic curtains will need to be. If you aren’t sure what the decibel level of your noise is, you can do a test and seek out a recommendation based on that level of noise. Of course, permanent structural changes in settings where the noise is constant are best, however, we know that’s not in everyone’s budget. Acoustic Curtains from AmCraft are a cost effective way to resolve excessive workplace noise for compliance to OSHA safety levels.

Noise Containment Enclosures for Industrial Applications

Posted on by Amcraft Tech Admin

Noise Containment Enclosures for Industrial Applications

Noise Containment Enclosures for Industrial Applications

Acoustic curtain wall enclosures are used to contain the source of extreme sound in order to shield employees from dangerous noise levels in a variety of workplace situations. An acoustic curtain wall installed within a facility encourages higher productivity by reducing ambient sound to a comfortable and safe level. AmCraft’s industrial sound enclosures can also be used to create an enclosure, to shield an isolated area from surrounding sound distractions and protect that area from a noisy environment.

Acoustic Curtain Wall Enclosure for Noise Containment in the Workplace

One of our customers, an international street sweeper manufacturer, enlisted the assistance of AmCraft to provide a noise containment solution for their truck testing areas. The sound source originated from the vehicle testing area, which produced a considerable level of sound. In order to maintain compliance with OSHA requirements regarding employee safety, the noise level needed to be lower than 85 dB – (at 85 dB, OSHA requires a full hearing conservation program to be in place (29 CFR 1910.95(c-n)). The area originally generated approximately 102 dB at a low frequency, high decibel noise level.

Using AmCraft’s industrial sound enclosure, the customer was able to successfully reduce the noise to 82 dB. Because of the dramatic transmission loss that our acoustic curtain wall enclosure was able to provide, the customer was not subjected Government regulations that would require them to create, implement, and add staffing for a complete hearing conservation program. AmCraft’s acoustic curtain wall enclosure solution saved the company time and money while creating a more comfortable work environment for the employees.

To get an understanding of how our acoustic curtain enclosures are measured, the chart illustrated below provides a good understanding of how significant the transmission loss in decibels is, as perceived to the human ear. The transmission loss was a total of approximately 20 dB, which, according to the chart, is considered about four times softer than the original generated sound level was.

AmCraft customizes noise reduction curtain solutions based on the specific requirements of each customer. Our technical specialists provide the most cost-efficient solution based on your desired outcome. Whether it is a more informal industrial sound containment or a noise enclosure to meet compliance, AmCraft will assist you from “design to end product” to provide the best possible solution for your sound attenuation needs.

Retractable Acoustic Curtains for Industrial Spaces

Posted on by Amcraft Tech Admin

Retractable Acoustic Curtains for Industrial Spaces

Retractable Acoustic Curtains

Retractable Acoustic Curtains are used in industrial applications for the purpose of reducing noise from loud equipment in a manufacturing facility. Industrial Acoustic Curtains are a sound blocking curtain panel, sound absorbing curtain wall or sound reducing curtain enclosure that is retractable and can be used in many manufacturing applications.

Noise or sound control is accomplished by blocking or absorbing sound energy. In order to optimize noise control requirements, most often both sound absorbing and sound blocking materials are combined to form a sound attenuating panel, sound attenuation curtain wall, or sound attenuating curtain enclosure that limits the amount of sound energy that can escape.

Retractable Acoustic Curtains reduce noise to required levels

AmCraft manufactures industrial acoustic curtains using insulated vinyl curtains for low level noise reduction. For more of a sound barrier, mass loaded vinyl is added to block more sound energy in order to reach OSHA required decibel levels. The level of insulation and sound barrier materials needed is determined by the application and the amount of noise reduction necessary to meet specific guidelines.

If you have a situation in which a noise producing operation is only performed intermittently, you may want to consider a retractable curtain sound barrier to provide flexibility in its use. Another situation that would warrant a retractable acoustic curtain as a sound control barrier is equipment that may need frequent set up, servicing, or an extreme amount of accessibility from numerous directions.

Contact Us Form Mini

Retractability of Acoustic Curtains

A retractable acoustic curtain is attainable for most insulated noise reducing curtains. To accomplish retractability, the sound absorbing materials are cut into sections and encased in a thinner, more flexible sound blocking material that is flexible enough to fold and retract.

Velcro separations can be placed between any or all panels so as to build in accessibility and flexibility around the unwanted noise source.

In extreme noise environments, if you have sufficient space for a thicker sound absorbing curtain or sound absorbing panel, you can use 3” thick sections which will increase the sound blocking capacity, but this will impact the retractability. With 3” thick panels your acoustic curtain panel assembly will only retract partially.

Steel Roller Track is used for Retractability

AmCraft’s retractable acoustic curtains work with our standard steel roller track system which can be suspended from any type of interior ceiling or wall.

Features of Retractable Acoustic Curtain Systems

  • With straight track, standard 24” radius curves, and larger than 24” radius curves, almost any configuration can be achieved.
  • Standard panel sizes are 13” or 27” wide
  • 13” wide panels form a stack 13” or 14” wide when fully retracted. (approximately 15% of their extended length)
  • 27” wide panels form a stack 27” or 28” wide when fully retracted. (approximately 8% of their extended length)
  • Optional windows provide visibility into the enclosure
  • Optional floor brackets reduce air movement at the curtain bottom
  • Non-fiberglass exterior is easy to clean

Kristen and the team at Amcraft was very accommodating. They made the ordering process simple, efficient and communicated their expertise with precision and accuracy. The customer curtains (2), were made to our expectations and the lead time/delivery was faster than expected.Although, they were built as curtains, we work in a hot environment and change the way we mounted the curtains. We have seen a decrease in temperature in our facility, which can be an oven.We wish the best for Amcraft, and thank you again.

Our company installed a machine that is known for the generation of relatively high decibel readings. The readings were exacerbated by the location of the machine adjacent to a concrete block wall. The combination of machinery and location resulted in decibel readings that exceeded expectations.We spoke with several companies for a solution, and AmCraft was chosen for the flexibility of their product. It allowed the sound dampening wall to be retracted when service needed to be done and provided an excellent amount of sound cancellation.Andrea at AmCraft was very patient as we sorted out what was best for our process and our budget.The customer has expressed an interest in using these same panels for other applications in their mill.Good Job AmCraft!! Thank You Very Much.
