Large working spaces, such as warehouses, auto body repair shops, and garages, are high-production work environments that can be incredibly noisy. Installing noise dampening curtains for sound can help decrease echoing around the space while improving sound clarity for workers. Since 1950, Singer Safety has been championing safe and productive work environments with its vast catalog of Industrial Safety Barrier Equipment. In this article, we will discuss the variety of curtains Singer Safety has to offer, how they are installed, and how their industrial curtains can benefit your workplace by improving sound clarity and lessening noise pollution.
Benefits of Noise Dampening Curtains
Installing noise dampening curtains can be beneficial in a myriad of ways, improving not just your warehouse’s logistics but the quality of life for everyone who works in the facility.
Reducing Echo
Large warehouse-style spaces with tall ceilings and few interior walls are notoriously bad for sound control, especially as sound waves bounce off glass and other hard surfaces. Our sound dampening curtains are made of thick, vinyl-coated material that helps absorb and deaden the noise from machinery, workers, powered industrial vehicles, and more.
Improving Sound Clarity
Curtains can assist with sound clarity by sectioning off particularly noisy parts of a warehouse or workspace. When excess noise is neutralized, employees should not have to wear cumbersome hearing protection equipment and can be more in tune with their surroundings and better focus on the task at hand. Sound dampening curtains also improve acoustics in recording studios and home studios by reducing vibrations and boosting sound clarity.
Improving Safety
Loud noise in the workplace can cause hearing loss among employees and lead to accidents when workers cannot properly hear each other or their surroundings. Sound dampening curtains can help isolate noisy machinery, which vastly improves workplace conditions. They can also help contain contaminants, unpleasant odors, and bright lights, which may affect worker comfort and productivity. Singer Safety’s Weld-Vision curtains, for example, can withstand high temperatures and contain the loud sounds and other hazards that come with grinding, welding, or cutting work.
Separating Spaces
Sound curtains are a great way to create separate rooms in a traditional open warehouse space. Singer Safety’s curtains are hung on our specialized roller track systems and can section off areas where more privacy is needed. A warehouse with curtained-off rooms prevents loud echoing and enhances acoustics throughout the space. Curtains can create separate rooms for privacy purposes, such as changing or locker rooms, but can also house machinery and other working stations so multiple jobs can be done at the same time without disruption. They also provide a cost-effective alternative to building permanent walls, allowing companies to use their space more flexibly.
Noise Control Product Line from Singer Safety
Sound clarity curtains are not just meant for warehouses; they are for any room that requires soundproofing or acoustic refinement. While Singer Safety’s sound dampening curtains are a great way to cut noise pollution and enhance the work environment, Singer has an entire line of noise control products that can be used almost anywhere, including churches, home theaters, marine docks, distribution centers, recording studios, and more.
Industrial Curtains
Hung with Singer Safety’s easy glide track system, their industrial curtains offer a flexible sound control solution while separating workspaces and helping keep your warehouse or building clean, quiet, and functional. You can customize the thickness of the vinyl, as well as the colors. Many of our curtains have windows in the middle, but our privacy line is fully opaque and perfect for areas that require more privacy.
Modular Acoustic Screens
Singer Safety’s modular acoustic screens are great off-the-shelf options for workspaces like schools, restaurants, gyms, and even sections in warehouses where one needs to block or enclose sound. The screens are made of quilted fiberglass sewn to sheets of vinyl and hung from a tubular frame. Their modular design makes them versatile and portable, and they can be attached together with Singer Safety’s signature Ad-A-Panel clips to create a custom size.
Ceiling Baffles
Industrial buildings with tall ceilings are especially prone to harsh echoes and loud, damaging noise. Singer Safety’s ceiling baffles offer a great solution for dampening sound without taking up valuable floor space. Available in quilted fiberglass or poly-fiberglass materials, they are hung from the ceiling and absorb excess sound, improving speech clarity among coworkers and lessening the amount of reverberation in the room. The sound waves that generally bounce all over a large room with many hard surfaces are absorbed by the baffles, and when they are hung at the recommended density, they can reduce excess noise between 4 and 7 decibels.
Quilted Fiberglass Panels
If you need to supplement any existing soundproofing treatments, or your soundproofing needs are less extreme, single or double-sided quilted fiberglass panels are a great option to consider for your workspace. The panels come in a variety of sizes and are offered in one- or two-inch thicknesses, making them very easy to hang against surfaces like brick walls, large glass windows, or any flat surface that would normally echo sound. Singer Safety offers them with velcro or grommet fastenings for easy installation. Our quilted fiberglass panels not only look streamlined and sleek in your workplace but are a cost-effective way to improve the room’s acoustics and sound clarity.
