Custom-made blinds for offices and open-plan spaces.
Un actif sur cinq perd plus de 30 minutes par jour à cause du bruit en open space, soit 120 heures de productivité perdues par an et par salarié (enquête IFOP/JNA 2024). Les rideaux techniques sur mesure réduisent les nuisances sonores, régulent la température et contrôlent la lumière, sans travaux ni modification de structure.
Kurtens conçoit des rideaux techniques sur mesure pour bureaux et open space : isolation phonique jusqu'à 22 dB*, régulation thermique jusqu'à 7°C*, occultation jusqu'à 100%*, certification M1 sur demande. Devis professionnel sous 24h.
60% of employees report chronic fatigue due to noise at work and 50% suffer from stress amplified by their sound environment (IFOP/JNA 2024). In open-plan offices, the INRS measures ambient noise levels of 50 to 60 dB(A), a threshold that the World Health Organization identifies as the onset of extra-auditory effects: difficulty concentrating, irritability, and decreased cognitive performance.
Beyond noise, glass offices concentrate other problems: summer overheating behind bay windows, glare on screens, and lack of visual privacy in meeting rooms. Custom technical curtains address these three nuisances in a single installation, without structural modifications.
Unlike fixed partitions or heavy insulation work, technical curtains can be installed in a few hours. They adapt to space reconfigurations and integrate with your premises' visual identity. For a quick return on investment in tertiary buildings, it is the most flexible textile solution on the market.

Frequently asked questions about office blinds.
What curtain should I choose to reduce noise in an open-plan office?
A high-density soundproof curtain (500+ g/m² category) is the most effective for reducing conversations and ambient noise. Kurtens can produce curtains with sound insulation capacity of up to 22 dB*, depending on the chosen configuration. In open-plan offices, curtains on rails allow for the creation of modular zones without any construction work.
Do office curtains need to be M1-rated?
This depends on the ERP classification of your premises. In ERP-classified offices, M1 classification is required in enclosed stairwells and M2 in passages and rooms over 50 m². In private offices under 50 m² that are not ERP-classified, there is no regulatory obligation. However, insurers may require it. Kurtens offers M1 certification upon request.
Can the colors be customized to match a graphic charter?
Yes. Unlike curtains from a catalog, Kurtens manufactures custom-made curtains according to your specifications: colors, materials, and finishes are entirely customizable.
What is the timeframe for fitting out an office floor?
The schedule is defined together based on the size of the project. Kurtens adapts to the operational constraints of your premises to limit disruptions.
Are samples available before ordering?
Yes. Material and color samples are available upon request to validate the rendering before production begins.
Does a technical curtain replace an acoustic partition?
A high-density acoustic curtain significantly reduces noise (attenuation capacity up to 22 dB*), but does not replace a solid partition for total insulation. Its advantage: it can be deployed in a few hours, costs less than a partition, and adapts to space reconfigurations. It is the preferred solution when heavy construction work is not feasible.
Is there a minimum order for an office project?
No. Kurtens does not impose any minimum order. Prices are progressively reduced based on volume, whether your project concerns a single office or an entire floor.
