grasshoppa Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Can I use fleece which is 100 percent polyester as curtains for sound absorbing ? It is transparent I can breath through it. Thst right is it. To capture the sound waves. For better sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irek Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 It's much better than painted walls or glass (windows, doors). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogicprObe Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Just on the OP.............that fleece stuff would be bad for curtains, or most anything! Picks up all sorts of cling ons and a bugger to clean. Edited August 25, 2020 by LogicprObe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshoppa Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hi Peter are you talking about the Trilogy fabric, i want to make drapes i think it would look terrible that fabric as drapes it wouldn't drape down very well if you know what i mean. I will use it for acoustic panels ! I will use Jersey fabric for drapes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicprObe Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 The way to go is to use any fabric you want on the 'viewing' side, sunblock fabric on the window side and whatever wadding you fancy/can afford in between. https://www.spotlightstores.com/sewing-fabrics/quilting/wadding-batting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshoppa Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Ok! i have a room which is 12m long! i want to make it smaller I think maybe because there is tiles on floor, which is bad for acoustics. If I mAke the room smaller with drapes then I only have to have a rug only the size of a smaller room. Or don’t you think I need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peter the Greek Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Drapes of any fabric will do diddly. Use whatever curtain fabric you like. The only way to do something material in that space is to line the ceiling with panels or similar. Or carpet the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshoppa Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 I would love to carpet the whole down here but it floods. So I can only use a rug big enough for the movie area. 4m x 5.5. Area. So you think don’t worry about the curtain and put ceiling panels. I can make them ? Won’t it be a problem if it’s all opened up. What I mean there will still be tiled exposed. Maybe panels over most of ceiling. Scattered ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule of thumb is 30% of floor, wall, ceiling. Do't take that as gospel. The best way to do a ceiling is fabric track - so attach the [whatever you're using - say ultratel] then have a fabric track that covers the whole thing......its going to get expensive..... You could get some polymax or whatever its called, attach it to the ceiling and see. 50mm of the 48kg stuff. You can get these things called "insulation pins". They might hold it, at least as a temp whilst your trying it. They're adhesive too, so wouldn't so too much damage - failing that, bang a screw in and patch it if it doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
