How we test the noise-reducing capabilities of eclipse curtains

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I am exposed to noise all day long, why should I worry about blocking it at home?

    There are a couple of reasons to try to keep as much noise as possible out of your home. We need recovery time. One of the most important things we can do is to set aside some time at home to relax and unwind from the day. Noise is always an impediment to relaxation, and is especially problematic when we are trying to sleep. You will be more relaxed, better rested, and more ready to face the next day if you can block the world out for a few hours of peace and quiet at home every night. And with eclipse curtains, you will be exposed to less outside noise.

  • How much noise can a curtain really block?

    Eclipse curtains are proven to block much more noise than ordinary curtains. Independent lab tests prove eclipse curtains block up to 40% more unwanted outside noise than ordinary curtains*.
