Soundproof Room Divider Curtain
Curtitions, also known as soundproof room divider curtains, acoustic folding partitions, or accordion doors, are designed to serve as decorative, collapsible soundproof wall dividers. These accordion style noise-reducing room dividers turn one large open room into two smaller rooms that are sound protected from one another when closed. The Curtition is made of a steel frame wrapped in four layers of sound attenuation material on both sides, and then three layers of special composite vinyl over a layer of fiberglass batting. The outer cover (vinyl, carpet, or fabric) is added to provide 10 full layers of sound deadening material plus a dead-air space in the center of the frame. Outer covering seams for these accordion sound-blocking room dividers are located in the most recessed spot on the hinge to be as unobtrusive as possible.

Acoustic Folding Partition Walls
Clients that choose our Curtition Systems are usually seeking to subdivide a larger room into two or more smaller rooms that stay acoustically protected from one another. They may also be looking to add a soundproof accordion door to separate multiple spaces. The Curtition System is able to glide open and shut, allowing the two rooms to be opened up to a single room to host larger events. These sliding soundproof room dividers can be cut up to 16’ in height. There is no limit on width, however, any Curtition over 25′ wide will require a field splice or consist of multiple panels that attach together. Curtitions are available in 4 different exterior finish options, each with a variety of colors to choose from. Please contact us if you need any samples of the exterior finish options.

Pricing
Curtition Systems are custom quoted per project based on the cavity size of your opening, exterior finish, and optional accessories. Measure your space and fill out an RFQ form or call our help desk at 1-800-638-9355 for your custom quote.
Sound Performance
The STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating measures how effectively a partition or barrier blocks airborne sound from passing through. In simple terms, the higher the STC number, the better the sound isolation.
Our Curtition is rated at STC 40, providing excellent speech privacy and noise control for offices, classrooms, meeting spaces, and multi-use areas.
To put this in perspective, a standard interior wall with drywall on both sides and no insulation typically achieves an STC of around 33–35. When insulation is added to the wall cavity, that value increases to about STC 38–39.
This means the VL8 Curtition performs on par with—or slightly better than—a typical insulated wall, delivering fixed-wall acoustic performance in a flexible, operable partition system.
Stack Depth When Folded Against the Wall
Note that the Curtitions when collapsed will have a stack depth of approximately 23% of your opening. For example, if you retract a 20’ wide single panel Curtition, it will have a stack depth when pulled back of approximately 4’ 7″. To minimize your stack depth we can make the Curtition as a dual-panel/bi-parting system, which pulls together from each side of the room and connects together in the middle, minimizing your stack depth on each side. We can also fabricate curved switch-track systems (similar to a railroad switch) that allow the Curtition to be stored parallel to the wall when not in use. To see how the track switch option works, watch this video. Contact us to discuss all storage options.

Tips When Measuring For Your Room Divider
When measuring the cavity space for your accordion style acoustic room partition, measure wall to wall, and finished floor to finished ceiling. Be sure to take several height measurements at various locations, as sometimes the floor to ceiling dimensions will vary. When providing us with your measurements we will want to know the tallest height dimension. This will ensure there are no leakage points for sound to travel through and provide the best sound insulation performance. Curtitions include a 1.5″ tall sweep strip along the bottom edge, which can be easily trimmed with a utility knife to fine-tune for height variances as needed. 2″ & 3″ sweeps are also available for greater height variances. Curtitions that are taller than 9′ will include push/pull rods above the turn handles.
Tips & Techniques for Installing Sound Curtains
Curtition Systems glide along a ceiling track that comes with your order, there is no floor track. The track is to be anchored to a header or joists in your ceiling. Note: If mounting to joists that run perpendicular to the track, request to skip pre-drilled holes in the track. For drop ceilings with no existing header, you will need to add a suspended a header from the ceiling deck to provide structural support for the track to mount to. This is typically done by hanging two pieces of 2’x8′ framing lumber from threaded rods, which are then attached to the ceiling deck with uni-strut. Remove the ceiling tile grid system where the installation is to take place and mount the header so that the bottom of your header is 1.25″ above your grid. This will produce a “concealed” track, where the track is recessed above the grid. The ceiling guard will hide the header, protect your ceiling tiles from wear, & provide support for the ceiling tiles to rest on.

Curtition FAQ
What are Curtitions?
Curtitions are semi-rigid, accordion-style acoustic room dividers designed to provide both visual and sound separation between spaces. They allow you to subdivide a large area into multiple smaller sections and can be easily opened or closed for maximum flexibility. Curtitions are ideal for offices, classrooms, multipurpose spaces, worship centers, and other environments where flexible noise control is needed.
Can you connect multiple Curtitions together?
Yes. You can connect multiple Curtitions using optional two-, three-, or four-way floating posts, which allow several dividers to latch together seamlessly. These moveable posts stay attached to the leading edge of one Curtition, so there’s no need to install a permanent post or anchor point.
How are Curtitions mounted?
Curtitions are suspended from a ceiling track only — there’s no floor track required.
There are two ceiling track mounting options:
- Exposed Track: Used when attaching to an existing header or finished ceiling.
- Concealed Track: Designed for drop ceilings, with the mounting surface positioned 1.25″ above the grid. Concealed tracks require a ceiling guard (see below).
What is a Ceiling Guard?
A ceiling guard is a protective metal trim used to conceal the header and shield ceiling tiles from wear and tear as the Curtition opens and closes. A ceiling guard is required for concealed track systems and optional for exposed track installations.
What noise reduction performance can I expect?
Curtitions deliver an STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating up to 40, offering noise reduction similar to a permanent interior wall with drywall on both sides and insulation between the studs. This makes Curtitions an effective and flexible alternative to fixed soundproof walls.
Are Curtitions customizable?
Yes — every Curtition is custom-built to order. You can specify the size, track type, exterior finish, and opening configuration. Each order includes detailed shop drawings for your review and approval before production to ensure an exact fit and finish.
Are Curtitions easy to install?
Yes. Most customers self-install their Curtition system using the included mounting hardware and instructions. If preferred, you can also hire a local contractor — no specialized tools or skills are required.
Does NetWell offer installation?

Do Curtitions require regular maintenance?
No. Curtitions are low-maintenance acoustic partitions. Simply check periodically that tracks and fasteners remain secure and clear of debris for smooth operation.
How do I clean Curtitions?
The exterior surfaces can be wiped clean with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh solvents, chemicals, or abrasive cleaners to maintain the finish.
