The most recent purchase, one of the drapes is falling apart. While the canvas covering is intact, the internal sound dampening material is ripped quite substantially, thus negating the sound deadening qualities of the product significantly. I’ve purchase many of these curtains in the past, but this time it appears that the materials they are using is not the same high quality materials they’ve used previously.

Shades help but not what you advertised. Very expensive. Would not recommend for the price I had to pay!!!!!!!!!

Hard to roll up.

The ordering and delivery experience was excellent. As far as product functionality, I would not buy this curtain again. It is very cumbersome to roll up and down and already has started to curl at the bottom. It barely blocks low frequency noises at all (in fairness, this is explained, so I knew that ahead of time) but does provide a little bit of relief from other outside noises. If this product were $150 cheaper, I would say it's fine, but otherwise not worth the cost! It is excellent at blocking out sunlight though.

Let me start with this. It took me more than 2 hours to set this thing up because the instructions were horrible with sloppy information and poor visuals printed on computer paper. I figured it out on my own but this just confused the crap out of me. I had to drill 15 gigantic holes into my drywall and it was a big pain to even get the super heavy curtains into place. The curtain is like an inflexible yoga mat so it makes the Acousti "Trac" very difficult to slide around in case you need to open a window or let some light in. One of the cheap plastic rollers broke off the curtain while I was trying to slide the thing over so I could let some light in for the day, so now I'm left without one of the plastic rollers on the first day. In terms of sound blocking, it does work okay. I live right beneath the train tracks and I've noticed a difference. I blocked out more sound by doing other things too like putting felt strip pads around my door.

Hi Chris, I'm sorry the installation was a bit challenging for you. We always recommend two people to assist in the installation process, as the core of our curtain is very dense and it's easier to measure, drill and level the track with the help of a second person. Your large curtain panel will become more flexible overtime, and with continued use it's form will break-in and become easier and easier to retract. All hardware and gliders are commercial grade and can withstand up to 250lbs. I would be happy to send you more gliders free of charge if they were damaged, so you can truly see how the product functions in your home. Please email our service team at [email protected] and we will get them right out to you. -RA team

They do block out some sound and all light, but I still have to sleep with earplugs in to block out the train horns at night. They would of been worth for half the cost though.

The AcoustiCurtain is super heavy if you have a decent sized window. Definitely blocks out light well but in my experience only slightly filters noise. Definitely not "soundproof".

This curtain certainly does mute sound and light and the colors and shipping and everything were right on. However it was MUCH MUCH heavier than I anticipated. We bought this as a covering for a loft opening in our infant son's room as an alternative to permanently covering up the loft opening to the floor below. It works fine but is so heavy that we can't really open and close it easily so we pretty much leave it open - covering the opening which is a bummer. So the product is good, just a lot heavier that anticipated so not good for everyday on demand opening and closing.
