Sound Blocking Acoustic Curtains are Retractable for Accessibility

Sound blocking

acoustic curtains

are retractable for accessibility and easy use in any environment and industrial application. AmCraft manufactures sound absorbing acoustic curtains with insulation to block and/or absorb sound energy. Most often both sound absorbing materials and sound blocking materials are combined to form a sound attenuation panel or sound attenuation curtain to reduce workplace noise.

In order to accomplish retractability, the sound blocking and sound absorbing materials are cut into sections and encased in a thinner, more flexible material that folds to retract into a small space.

This is especially helpful when sound reduction is necessary in a flexible way, the acoustic curtain panels are opened and closed as needed, without taking up a lot of space. Additionally, velcro separations can be placed between any or all of the sound absorbing panels to build in accessibility and flexibility around the unwanted noise source.

If you have sufficient space for thicker sound absorbing curtain panels you can use 3″ thick panel insulation which will increase the sound blocking capacity. However, this thicker panel option does limit how far the acoustic curtains can retract to a space. With 3″ thick panels your sound reduction curtain panel will only retract partially, not flush against a wall.

The retracting acoustic curtain can be used in many applications of noise reduction in the workplace. The insulated acoustic curtain also helps to maintain consistent temperatures and noise control contained inside an acoustic curtain enclosure, or protects the acoustic curtain work area from outside influences. If you have a situation in which noise reduction is performed intermittently, you want to consider a retractable acoustic curtain as a sound barrier. Another situation that would warrant a retractable sound barrier is equipment that may need frequent servicing or an extreme amount of accessibility from numerous directions.

AmCraft’s retractable noise control barrier curtain works with our standard steel track and roller system. This roller track system can be suspended from from any type of interior ceiling or wall. With straight track, standard 24″ radius curves and larger curves almost any configuration can be achieved.

Standard acoustic curtain panel sizes are 13″ or 27″ wide. When retracted, 13″ panels will form a stack that is 13″- 14″ wide, by approximately 15% of their extended length. When retracted, 27″ acoustic curtain panels will form a stack that is 27″- 28″ wide by approximately 8% of their extended length. For more information visit our webpage: AmCraft

Retractable Acoustic Curtains

Posted on by Amcraft Tech Admin

Retractable Acoustic Curtains

AmCraft Manufacturing has engineered a new

retractable acoustic curtain

option for insulated curtains used in the workplace. Our unique design is lightweight and easy to retract on an industrial roller track system. We developed an acoustic curtain design that is lightweight, folds to a smaller footprint, and offers better accessibility to work areas. Acoustic curtains are typically used to reduce noise levels generated by heavy equipment that becomes amplified in large spaces. Customers have asked us for a solution that would reduce the decibel levels of noisy equipment in their shop to meet or exceed government regulations for employee safety. The level of occupational noise reduction you will need for your facility is determined by first taking a decibel reading of the immediate and surrounding areas. The loudest noise level point is the amount of noise reduction you will need for compliance.

AmCraft’s designer and engineers created a retractable acoustic curtain with a pattern that incorporates the insulated panels in such a way to allow the curtain to fully retract to the wall, using much less space than typical insulated curtain patterns. AmCraft’s retractable acoustic curtains are more lightweight and easier to use than many other acoustic curtains on the market today.

AmCraft’s acoustic curtains options provide noise reducing protection you need in sizes and colors to fit your facility. Call us today at 847-439-4565 for more information.

Acoustic Sound Barriers

Posted on by Amcraft Tech Admin

Acoustic Sound Barriers

Acoustic sound barriers

block the frequency levels of unwanted sound is very important relative to designing effective sound control panels. If you are considering purchasing an acoustic sound barrier or sound curtain you may want to rent a sound meter that will help you determine the frequency level of the noise in the area. This noise level measurement will determine the level of sound blocking absorption that you will need. To maximize sound blockage for an area, we manufacture acoustic sound barriers and panels to include mass loaded vinyl in its construction. This provides the greatest noise reduction but also tends to make the curtains and panels heavier and less flexible.

For an acoustic curtain or acoustic sound barrier application, we recommend a track system designed to support the additional weight and provide flexibility in moving or retracting the curtains within the workspace. Mass loaded Acoustic Panels can be attached to walls, equipment, trucks, etc with various support hardware options.

Insulated Curtains and Insulated Sound Barrier Panels are lighter and easier to use, but also offer less noise reduction than the mass loaded vinyl option. Visit the Acoustic Curtains section of our website to view photos and find additional information to determine the best option of acoustic sound barriers and panels for your business.

Call us at 847-439-4565 for suggestions and solutions for sound reduction options for your specific needs.

Patti Pope was very helpful in fulfilling my customer order for Data Center equipment rack curtains. My initial measurements were not accurate and she was able to accommodate my requst for a sizing change and deleivered the curtians in a timely manner.

Amcraft has again supplied an exceptional product for another one our projects.Their sales and engineering groups were able to meet our extensive custom order. The ship date was as promised, and received in perfect condition. I can’t think of any other manufacturer who could meet our food grade needs.

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.
