Vinyl Strip Curtains
Strip Curtains or sound doors are clear vinyl strip curtains that suspend vertically in a door or opening to combat sound bleed. Strip Curtains are used as acoustic traffic doors to block sound while still allowing passage of people and equipment through the curtain system. We include a double layer of transparent curtains, with a 100% overlap to cover the seams. The universal mounting hardware is included and will allow you to anchor the vinyl Strip Curtains to any wall or header. Ideal for sound control where access and entry are a must.

Flat or Ribbed Surface
Our Clear Vinyl Strip Curtains are available in two options.
Flat: The face and edges of the vinyl strips are smooth so they won’t cut, snag, or scratch anything they come into contact with. The strips alternate between convex and concave to create a tighter seal while still allowing the strips to spread apart for easy passage.
Ribbed: Reinforced ribs are added to each side of the vinyl strips to create a tighter thermal seal and prolong the life of the vinyl. The ribs help prevent wear on the vinyl strip surface as objects pass through them, keeping them clear and see-through for longer. The ribbed version is ideal for high-traffic areas where heavy equipment regularly passes through.
Acoustic Strip Curtain Sizes
Strip Curtain systems can be custom cut to fit any cavity size or door opening and make perfect acoustical doors for commercial & industrial sites. The systems ship as a kit and include 14 gauge galvanized steel mounting hardware along with the clear vinyl strips that clamp together. The strips come in different width options. For 0-10′ height, go with the 8″ wide strip curtains, for 10-14′ height, opt for the 12″ width, and for systems that are 14′-25′ in height, go with the 16” wide strip system. Use 100% overlap between the front and back rows of the curtain system to maximize sound transmission loss.

Installation
Strip Curtains will come with the mounting hardware you’ll need to install the vinyl strip curtains into place. Your installation options include bolting the header bracket to the wall directly above, or to the underside, of the cavity opening. Once the header bracket is anchored in, the strips are individually placed into the bracket as both a front and a back row prior to clamping the system shut tight.
Pricing
Strip Curtains are priced by the square foot. Measure the width & height of your opening and use the table seen here to calculate your costs. Call our help desk at 1-800-638-9355 for questions or to place your order.
Sound Test Results
QBS Blankets
The only reason you should be considering the Strip Curtain system for your noise control application is if you need to gain entrance and exit through the system. If you do not need full access, or even partial access, consider switch the project over to the QBS Sound Barrier Blankets. These blanket systems offer lower levels of leakage and produce more favorable sound protection.

What are the benefits of vinyl strip curtains?
Clear vinyl strip curtains offer several benefits for sound and noise control:
- Noise Reduction: Clear vinyl strip curtains help reduce noise levels by acting as a barrier, dampening sound waves and minimizing noise transmission between different areas.

- Flexible and Versatile: They can be easily installed and adjusted to fit various openings and spaces, providing a customizable solution for noise control without the need for permanent construction.
- Visibility and Safety: Unlike opaque barriers, clear vinyl strip curtains maintain visibility, allowing for safe movement of personnel and machinery while still providing noise control.
- Temperature and Dust Control: In addition to noise reduction, these curtains also help in controlling temperature and dust, contributing to a more comfortable and cleaner working environment.
- Cost-Effective Solution: They are a more affordable alternative to solid walls or doors, offering significant noise control benefits at a lower cost.
