Custom hotel curtains: soundproof, blackout, fire-retardant.
Le bruit est la premiere cause de plaintes dans les hotels : l'Organisation mondiale de la sante (OMS) recommande un niveau sonore inferieur a 30 dB la nuit pour garantir un sommeil reparateur. Les rideaux techniques sur mesure repondent simultanement aux exigences acoustiques, d'occultation et de securite incendie de chaque espace hotelier.
Kurtens equipe les hotels en rideaux techniques sur mesure : isolation acoustique jusqu'a 22 dB*, thermique jusqu'a 7°C*, occultation 100%*, certification M1 sur demande. Devis sous 24h.Sleep is the primary criterion for satisfaction in the hospitality industry, from budget hotels to luxury establishments. A guest who is dissatisfied with noise or light in their room leaves a negative review, and each point lost in the average rating directly reduces the occupancy rate and revenue per available room (RevPAR).
Noise. In city centers, outdoor noise frequently exceeds 55 dB at night. A high-density technical curtain can reduce incident noise by up to 22 dB*, significantly decreasing the disturbance perceived by the client. It is an effective complement to double glazing, not a replacement for structural insulation.
Light. Total blackout is an expected standard in hotel rooms, whether for daytime sleep or projection in a seminar room. Kurtens can produce curtains achieving 100% blackout*, guaranteeing complete darkness regardless of the time of day.
Energy. Windows are a major source of heat loss. A high-density thermal curtain can provide up to 7°C* of gain measured between the window and the room, helping to control the establishment's energy costs.

Hotels are classified as ERP type O (hotel accommodation): curtains installed in common areas must comply with a minimum fire rating defined by the order of June 25, 1980, articles AM 11 to AM 14, and standard NF P 92-507.
The M rating ranges from M0 (non-combustible) to M4 (highly flammable). For hotel curtains, two levels apply: M2 (flame-retardant, minimum requirement in common areas over 50 m² and escape routes) and M1 (non-flammable, mandatory in enclosed stairwells and on stages).
Warning: article AM 11 §1 prohibits the placement of hangings or curtains across passageways (corridors, circulation areas, emergency exits).
Beyond legal requirements, three stakeholders can impose higher demands: insurers (possible forfeiture of coverage in case of non-compliance), hotel chains (internal standards are often more stringent), and control offices (Bureau Veritas, Apave, Socotec). In practice, opting for an M1 rating in all areas secures the establishment against all these stakeholders. For a detailed analysis of M1 and M2 standards, please consult our page dedicated to fire-retardant curtains for ERPs.
Kurtens offers M1 certification upon request, integrated directly into your project quote.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hotel Curtains.
Are hotel curtains required to be fire retardant?
This depends on the space. In corridors, lobbies and rooms over 50 m², a minimum M2 classification is mandatory (decree of June 25, 1980, article AM 12). Enclosed staircases require M1 (AM 12 a). On the other hand, rooms smaller than 50 m² have no legal obligation regarding the fire classification of curtains. However, insurers and hotel chains frequently impose M1 or M2 in their internal standards.
What sound attenuation can be expected for hotel rooms?
The World Health Organization recommends a level below 30 dB at night for quality sleep. Kurtens curtains achieve up to 22 dB* of acoustic attenuation, significantly reducing the perceived noise in the bedroom. This is a complement to double glazing, not a replacement for the building's structural insulation.
Can we customize the colors for a hotel project?
Yes. In B2B, Kurtens manufactures to specifications: materials, colors, and finishes are defined according to your establishment's visual identity. Samples are available upon request for validation before production begins.
What is the lead time to equip an entire hotel?
The timeline is determined together based on the scope of the project: number of rooms, areas concerned, chosen finishes. Kurtens adapts to your establishment's planning constraints, including closure periods or partial renovations.
Does Kurtens supply hotels of all categories?
Yes, from budget hotels to luxury palaces. Kurtens adapts performance and finishes to suit the establishment's positioning and project constraints. Each quote is customized.
Is installation included?
Kurtens does not offer installation directly but can recommend qualified partner installers to ensure the setup in your establishment.
