High Absorption Acoustic Fabrics

Acoustic absorption class: A and B

High Absorption Acoustic Fabrics are textiles that have tested well for absorbing sound within a room. Typically, these fabrics are made into variable acoustic curtains that ring the outside of a performance hall, noisy office space, busy restaurant or any other room where sound reverberation needs to be reduced. Some fabrics such as our ABSORBER CS were developed specifically to absorb sound while others, such as 25 oz. CRESCENT Velour, have been used as drapery for years and are now being recognized for their sound dampening abilities. Most of these fabrics are opaque, but our ABSORBER LIGHT acoustic fabric is translucent and is perfect for large windowed rooms that wish to preserve the sunlit space while reducing echo in the room. These fabrics can be bought by the yard or manufactured into acoustic curtains in our sewing shops around the world.

gw-2020-kressbronn-boden-werft-friction-drive-satin-cs-small.jpg
Werft 1919
Kressbronn / Germany

With the reconstruction of the Bodan dockyard the municipality of Kressbronn has realised its own lake stage, a stage for the region, at Lake Constance, Germany. In the future, the enjoyment of art, culture and culinary delights will be the main focus of this cultural monument. The "Werft1919" is a place to meet, to exchange ideas and to experience the interplay of nature and architecture. The unusual stage situation required special attention with regard to the acoustic design: the single-layer sound-absorbing and multi-layer sound-insulating scurtains made of SATIN CS enable flexible room acoustics and at the same time limit the spread of sound across the expanse of the lake. Furthermore, acoustic curtains made of ABSORBER CS by Gerriets serve as a vestibule in the restaurant.

  • TRUMPF 95 FRICTION-DRIVE track system
  • Curtains made of the acoustic fabric ABSORBER CS in black and the drapery fabric SATIN CS in perl white
