Sound-Absorbing Curtains

The IKEA GUNNLAUG Curtain Filters Light and Sound

— November 4, 2021 — Art & Design
The IKEA GUNNLAUG curtain is a product that promises to be especially valuable for working at home since it has a sound-absorbing design that helps to add a layer of quiet to rooms. The sound-absorbing curtain, available in white or gray, is also useful for filtering out light to create a comfortable home environment for working, reading, relaxing or anything in between, especially when clattering dishes or moving chairs are in the background.

Thanks to a design that's ISO 354 certified, the curtain is proven effective for absorbing 50% to 100% more sound as compared to other fabrics with similar quality and weight. The IKEA GUNNLAUG sound-absorbing curtain is made from 100% recycled chenille yarn and the retailer recommends arranging the curtains in pleats, so that thicker absorption layers are achieved.
