Alpha sound-absorbing acoustic curtains, hung in an area or in front of glazing, help control sound and light levels. DB sound-reducing acoustic curtains contribute additionally to the reduction of sound between two areas. Velio drapes can be used to mark the boundaries of areas without totally closing them off.

Hung in front of glazing, Texaa’s Alpha sound-absorbing acoustic curtains absorb resonating sounds, filter light and improve occupants’ comfort.

Texaa Alpha sound-absorbing acoustic curtains regulate sound absorption, while also acting on the level of light in a room, seen here in the head offices of William Grant & Sons Distillers Ltd. in Richmond, London.

Texaa sDB sound-reducing acoustic curtains are a flexible way to provide visible boundaries to spaces, seen here in shared workspaces at the Crown Estate, Bessborough Street in London.

Previewed at the architect@work Paris exhibition,
DB sound-reducing acoustic curtains reduce sound transmission between two rooms.

DB sound-reducing acoustic curtains mark the boundaries of a room enabling it nevertheless to be completely open, so that a space is never permanently partitioned.

Texaa’s Velio drapes mark the boundaries of spaces without closing them off completely.

Texaa’s Maille Ronde Élargie (MRE) Aeria stitch, knitted in our workshop, has been especially designed to let light through, while creating a feeling of privacy.

Composition and installation

Texaa acoustic Curtains are made of two lengths of sound-absorbing felt wadding with an Aeria cover. 

They are highly flame-resistant and clad on both sides with run-resistant, antistatic and dirt-repellent Aeria fabric, in combination with two thicknesses of 3-mm thick sound-absorbing black felt wadding and a core of six sound-damping layers.

They can be zipped together with zippers that are sewn down their sides, making it possible to accommodate varying space dimensions.

The curtains are hung from a rail fitted with rollers for easy drawing. For more static applications, the curtains may be fitted with eyelets (diameter 40 mm).

Texaa’s drapes make it possible to mark the boundaries of spaces without closing them off completely. The MRE open stitch, knitted in Texaa’s workshop from fully recycled fibres was especially designed to let light through, while concealing the environment behind it. In open spaces these drapes create a sense of boundary between areas with a very light installation and develop a feeling of privacy.

Texaa drapes are available in three shades: MRE006 (Gris Anthracite), MRE003 (Gris Nacré), MRE029 (Beige Kaolin). Other colours are available on request.
