Noise Reducing Roman Blinds – Style & Sound Absorption in One

If you live near a busy road, have close neighbours, or simply want a quieter home, Roman blinds with the right fabric and fit can make a noticeable difference. While they won’t eliminate sound completely, the right combination of materials, layering, and fitting techniques can significantly dampen external noise and reduce echo inside a room.

At Surrey Blinds and Shutters, we offer a range of lined and interlined Roman blinds that provide a balance of acoustic absorption, insulation, and elegant styling.

How Roman Blinds Help Reduce Noise

1. Fabric Choice & Layering

Unlike hard surfaces that reflect and transmit noise, Roman blinds absorb more sound, reducing the harshness of external disturbances. The best results come from:

✔ Heavy-Weave Fabrics – Thicker, textured materials help absorb sound waves, preventing them from bouncing around a room.

✔ Lined Roman Blinds – Every Roman blind we supply includes a standard lining, which enhances noise reduction.

✔ Interlining for Maximum Effect – Adding an extra layer between the fabric and lining further softens sound penetration and boosts thermal insulation.

2. Face-Fixed Installation for Improved Coverage

To maximise their sound-reducing properties, we face-fix Roman blinds, ensuring they fully cover the window with minimal side gaps. This approach helps to:

• Reduce sound leakage around the edges.
• Provide a snug barrier against external noise.
• Work effectively when combined with other noise-reducing treatments.

3. Layering for Superior Noise Reduction

For optimal noise absorption, consider combining Roman blinds with other window treatments:

Roman blinds + Curtains – A highly effective pairing, with Roman blinds providing an internal fabric barrier and curtains adding an external sound-absorbing layer.

Roman blinds + Duette® Honeycomb Blinds – Duette® blinds work inside the recess, while Roman blinds sit in front, offering a dual-layered insulation effect.

Roman blinds + Blackout Linings – Blackout linings not only improve room darkening but also add an extra layer of density, further reducing external noise.

Additional Benefits of Noise Reducing Roman Blinds

✔ Enhanced Privacy – Blocks external noise while preventing visibility from outside.

✔ Thermal Insulation – Reduces heat loss in winter and keeps rooms cooler in summer.

✔ Stylish & Customisable – Available in a range of colours, patterns, and textures.

✔ Room Darkening & Light Control Options – Heavier blackout linings help both with sound absorption and room darkening.
