STUDIOTECHNICAL HUB
Practical calculators, construction diagrams and published test data. Every result has a method and a context.
PLAN IT WITH CONFIDENCE
Two visual guides to help you prepare your curtain specification.
Track width, finished drop, single curtains and pairs, overlaps and window recesses.

Explore tracks & installation01 / ROOM ACOUSTICS ESTIMATOR
A single-frequency Sabine estimate, based on an existing reverberation time and a change in surface absorption. Defaults are an illustrative scenario, not measured product data.
ILLUSTRATIVE ESTIMATE · 500 Hz
Idealised 60 dB energy-decay slopes, calculated from the entered and estimated RT60 values. Not a measured impulse response or a sound-insulation prediction.
02 / OPEN METHODOLOGY
The calculators support early specification. Site conditions, final quantities and performance require project-specific review.
A₀ = 0.161 × V / T₀
ΔA = S × (α₁ − α₀)
T₁ = 0.161 × V / (A₀ + ΔA)V is room volume in m³. S is projected treated area in m². The assembly coefficient must match its mounting and fullness. Do not multiply tested projected area by fullness again.
Assumes an approximately diffuse sound field, unchanged room use and a positive equivalent absorption area. It excludes low-frequency modal behaviour, flanking paths and sound insulation.
Sabine equation reference ↗Flat width = coverage × (1 + fullness / 100)
Cut drop = drop + vertical allowance
Length = whole widths × cut dropEach panel receives two side-hem allowances. Joins reduce the usable width. The estimator rounds up to whole vertical widths for each panel, then adds your ordering allowance.
No pattern matching, fabric shrinkage, railroading, track curves or roll-length optimisation is included. Confirm cutting plans before ordering.
Cloth area = widths × roll width × cut drop
Mass (kg) = area × gsm / 1,000Calculated from the cut cloth, including making allowances, before waste is added. It is not an installed load certification.
Add lining, heading, attachments and dynamic operating forces when designing a track or fixing system. Get a project-specific structural assessment where required.
Two metres of flat fabric for every metre of covered track, before making allowances. The folds change the installation and the material requirement.
Use the exact manufacturer certificate for the selected fabric and intended use. FR durability labels and named standards alone do not establish compliance for a complete installation. Check certificate scope, colour, care instructions and project requirements.
No. Absorption measurements describe sound behaviour in the room. Sound transmission between spaces needs a different test and a review of the complete separating construction.
