Public register of test reports — acoustic curtains

Public Register of Test Reports

The term "soundproof" is not regulated. Any curtain can display it, with any decibel value. This register gathers, in one place and freely accessible, the test results that manufacturers agree to make public.

It is open to everyone, including competitors. Each entry is published as it is submitted to us, without comment, ranking, or selection.

The six pieces of information requested

  1. The laboratory that carried out the test, named.
  2. Its accreditation — ISO/IEC 17025, and the body (COFRAC, BELAC or equivalent).
  3. The test standard applied: ISO 10140-2 for attenuation, ISO 354 or ISO 11654 for absorption. The two quantities are distinct.
  4. The report number , and whether it can be provided upon request.
  5. The result : the overall index (R w with its adaptation terms, or α w and its class), and separately the maximum value with the frequency at which it was measured.
  6. The surface mass of the finished product , in kg/m² — not the weight of the fabric alone.

Three entries as of August 21, 2026. We open the register with ours, including the boxes we have not yet filled.

In situ measurements: protocol published, data to follow

A laboratory test measures a single element under standardized conditions. It indicates a potential outcome, not what an occupant will actually experience in their home. We are therefore publishing, as open access and under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, the in-situ measurement protocol that we use at our clients’ sites—with the requirement to publish unfavorable results and abandoned campaigns.

NOKOMIS WEBSTORE (Cotton Silence). Protocol for In Situ Acoustic Measurement of Textile Curtains, v1.0. 2026. Zenodo.
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.22046256 — CC BY 4.0 license, reusable by any industry stakeholder, including against us.

The datasets produced by applying this protocol will be submitted quarterly, under a unique identifier linked to the same concept DOI. Any campaign conducted by a third party in accordance with this protocol, regardless of the outcome, may be reported to us for inclusion in our database.

Submit an entry

Send the six pieces of information to contact@cottonsilence.com , subject line "Register". The full report is not required: the references are sufficient, as they allow anyone to request it from the manufacturer or laboratory.

Commitments. Publication as submitted, without rewording. No ranking, no rating, no editorial commentary. All submissions received are published, even if they are better than ours. Removal upon request from the sender. Correction within seven days of notification of an error, with a visible history.

What this register is not

  • This is not a comparative study. The tests presented here were conducted under different conditions and configurations. The values ​​are not directly comparable, and we are not drawing any rankings from them.
  • It is not a label. Being listed in the register does not attest to any quality: only to documentary transparency.
  • An absence proves nothing. A manufacturer not listed in this registry may very well possess tests and choose not to publish them. The registry records what is made public, nothing else.
  • We are both judge and jury. Cotton Silence is a manufacturer and is listed in the registry. That is precisely why the above rules are written, public, and enforceable.

The acoustic curtain Cotton Silence is designed to offer a simple, quick, and easy installation for everyone. Thanks to our mounting system, which is engineered to optimize acoustic and thermal performance, you’ll enjoy professional-quality results without any complex installation work.

Why Our Installation Is Unique

Unlike traditional curtains hung on a rod, our soundproof curtains perform best when installed on a specially designed track. This system ensures optimal sealing along the sides and minimizes sound leakage and heat loss. This is an essential step for getting the most out of the curtain’s sound-dampening properties.

The installation is designed to be intuitive while still meeting acoustic requirements: the curtain opens at the bottom, multi-layers ventilate properly, and it's positioned optimally to create a shield against outside noise.

A Product Designed by Acoustic Experts

Cotton Silence 's curtains were designed by acoustics professionals with extensive experience in architectural projects. The goal was clear: to create a “true” noise-reducing curtain that is truly effective under real-world conditions and not just in a laboratory.

You'll find this expertise in every detail: from the choice of fibers and the design of the patented multi-layer to optimized weight, thermal performance, internal absorption, and reverb reduction.

European craftsmanship and artisanal quality

Each curtain is manufactured in Europe by specialized textile workshops, in accordance with precise technical specifications. This production process ensures lasting quality, impeccable finishes, and meticulous control of the acoustic system.

Even though they're super effective, our curtains are still stylish, easy to use, come in lots of colors, and work great for both homes and professional spots.

Instant comfort once it's up!

Once installed, your Cotton Silence curtain acts as a fabric barrier against noise and heat. Depending on the configuration and the quality of the installation, it helps dampen outside noise, reduce reverberation in the room, and enhance the feeling of comfort.

With our version for everyone, you get the same awesome technology that architects and pros use, right in your own home – no big renovations or complicated gear needed!

The result? Easy setup with pro-level performance!

Whether you're insulating a window, a picture window, a door, or an opening, the Cotton Silence system adapts easily to provide a durable solution. Our video tutorial guides you step by step to ensure a successful installation in just a few minutes.

If you need a hand, our team can also help you pick the right way to hang it and make sure your setup is compatible.
