When can a soundproof curtain help in front of a door?
First identify the path of the noise. A curtain in front of a door can help attenuate airborne noise passing through that opening, such as voices in the hallway. Footsteps, vibrations and door slams can also travel through the building structure; the curtain does not treat those other paths.
A curtain designed to limit sound transmission can help attenuate noise passing through the covered opening. Kurtens states up to 22 dB under optimal installation and test conditions. Results in your home depend on frequencies, coverage and installation.
Check acoustic results and measurement conditions, fabric construction, coverage and mounting. A standard size can work if it properly covers the opening; made-to-measure dimensions help when the available sizes do not fit.
Compare fabric construction and acoustic results together with their measurement conditions. Fabric weight alone does not give attenuation in dB. Kurtens fabric has 3 layers and weighs 620 g/m²; its stated attenuation is up to 22 dB under optimal installation and test conditions.
Allow space to move the curtain aside before opening the door. Check the door swing, pole position and everyday handling. The fabric must not obstruct full opening or passage.

*Stated attenuation under optimal installation and test conditions. Results depend on the noise, coverage and installation; they are not guaranteed in every home.
| Criterion | What to check |
|---|---|
| Need | Outside noise or reverberation inside the room |
| Fabric | Composition and construction; weight alone does not give the dB rating |
| Acoustic measurement | Protocol, frequencies and setup when comparing results |
| Dimensions | Coverage of the opening, side allowances and overlap between panels |
| Mounting | Supports and curtain pole suitable for the total curtain weight |
The Kurtens soundproof curtain uses the same fabric as the 3-in-1: 3 layers, 620 g/m², 100 % blackout and a thermal gain of up to 7 °C measured in a laboratory. These features do not automatically apply to every thick curtain.
The Kurtens curtain achieves a thermal difference of up to 7 °C, measured in a laboratory. This result relates to the test conditions and does not guarantee a temperature gain throughout the room.
Start by measuring your door frame. Take the inside width of the frame and add 30 to 40 cm in total (15 to 20 cm of overhang on each side). For the height, measure from the planned rod position (10 to 15 cm above the frame) down to the floor. The curtain should just graze the floor to eliminate sound and thermal leaks from below. For a detailed guide with diagrams, see our size guide.
270 cm is the width of the fabric roll, not an absolute maximum curtain height. The options depend on the combination of width and height. For dimensions not offered in the configurator, contact us to confirm production and whether a joining seam is needed. See also: extra-long collection.
For the finish, eyelets are recommended for a front door: the curtain slides easily on the rod, which makes daily handling smooth. Pencil pleat also works if you prefer a finer drape. A rod pocket is less suited here because it slides less easily. See our heading guide to compare.
The rod must be wall-mounted and sturdy. The curtain weighs 620 g/m², which calls for suitable fixings. Telescopic rods are not advised: they may sag or fall with a curtain of this weight, especially in a high-traffic spot like a front door.
14 colors are available. All offer the same acoustic and thermal performance. Choose based on the feel of your entrance. See our color guide.

Frequently asked questions.
Is a soundproof curtain in front of a front door really effective?
A curtain designed to limit sound transmission can help attenuate noise passing through the covered opening. Kurtens states up to 22 dB under optimal installation and test conditions. Results in your home depend on frequencies, coverage and installation.
Does the curtain get in the way of opening the door?
Allow space to move the curtain aside before opening the door. Check the door swing, pole position and everyday handling. The fabric must not obstruct full opening or passage.
How do you measure for a made-to-measure front door curtain?
Eyelets are recommended: the curtain slides easily on the rod, which makes everyday use very smooth. Pencil pleat also works for a more elegant look. In every case, the rod must be wall-mounted and solid (no telescopic rod): the curtain weighs 620 g/m². See our fixings guide.
Does the curtain also insulate against cold coming from the door?
The Kurtens soundproof curtain uses the same fabric as the 3-in-1: 3 layers, 620 g/m², 100 % blackout and a thermal gain of up to 7 °C measured in a laboratory. These features do not automatically apply to every thick curtain.
The Kurtens curtain achieves a thermal difference of up to 7 °C, measured in a laboratory. This result relates to the test conditions and does not guarantee a temperature gain throughout the room.
Does a soundproof curtain replace changing the door?
A curtain and an acoustic door serve different roles in an installation. First check seals, the door panel and noise paths. A curtain can complement treatment of the opening; it does not replace repairing a door or treating other transmission paths.
What is the delivery time?
Expect 2 to 3 weeks between order and delivery. Manufacturing takes 5 to 7 days and delivery 5 to 10 days. Each made-to-measure curtain is made to your exact dimensions. Delivery is free across Europe. The optional Exact-Fit guarantee covers measurement errors.
Is there a thermal curtain for a front door?
The Kurtens soundproof curtain uses the same fabric as the 3-in-1: 3 layers, 620 g/m², 100 % blackout and a thermal gain of up to 7 °C measured in a laboratory. These features do not automatically apply to every thick curtain.
The Kurtens curtain achieves a thermal difference of up to 7 °C, measured in a laboratory. This result relates to the test conditions and does not guarantee a temperature gain throughout the room.
Thermal and soundproof insulating curtain for a front door: do you need two curtains?
No, just one. The three Kurtens layers combine thermal insulation (cold, drafts) and soundproof insulation (hallway noise, neighbors, the staircase). You do not choose between the two: a made-to-measure front door curtain handles cold and noise at the same time.
