While no curtain is 100% soundproof, our 4-layer construction is engineered for maximum noise reduction. Between the face fabric and the liner, we've added a layer of sound-absorbing sponge felt and a layer of melt-blown fabric (the same material used in high-grade masks). This combination significantly muffles street noise and echoes, creating a much quieter environment.
Do I need a heavy-duty rod for these?
Great question. Because of the premium 4-layer construction, these curtains possess a substantial, luxurious weight. To ensure they drape perfectly and operate smoothly, we highly recommend using a sturdy, high-quality curtain rod securely mounted to studs. This ensures your hardware can support the quality of the fabric without bowing.
Are they machine washable?
Yes, these are safe to wash! However, you must detach the felt liner before machine washing. Use a delicate cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. For larger custom panels, professional cleaning is also an option to maintain the pleats and fabric texture.
Is the price for one panel or a pair (two panels)?
The price shown is for one curtain panel. For a typical window with a balanced look, you may want to order two panels (quantity 2).
When entering Panel Width, should I input total coverage width or one panel width?
On the product page, the Panel Width you select/enter is the finished size per panel.
Per-panel width = (rod width × fullness) ÷ number of panels
Use the Size Guide on the product page to calculate step-by-step.
If you’d like help, email support@thehues.com with your product link and measurements.
My rod/window width is X—how many panels do I need and what width should each panel be?
The Panel Width/Length you enter on the product page is the finished size per panel.
Per-panel width = (rod width × fullness) ÷ number of panels
Example: 100" rod width × 1.5 fullness ÷ 2 panels = 75" per panel.
Click the Size Guide on the product page for a step-by-step calculator, or contact support for help.
Curtains need fullness—how much extra width should I add?
Different Header Styles correspond to different recommended fullness ratios.
Select your header first to see the recommended fullness in the Size Guide/selection area.
Our system will use this to calculate or suggest the best size for you.
Or, feel free to consult customer service for help.
My required width/length isn’t listed (extra wide/long). Can you customize?
Yes. Most made-to-measure curtain listings support per-panel width/length starting at 20" and going up to 200". If you can’t select your size, email support@thehues.com and we’ll help you plan the right split/join solution.
What is a Header Style, and which one should I choose?
A header style is the top construction of the curtain—how it’s made and how it attaches to your rod or track.
Rod vs. track: match the header to your hardware.
Look: flat vs. pleated vs. wave, etc.
Use: frequent opening/closing often benefits from smoother track-friendly headers.
If you’re unsure, start with the Header Style Guide and match it to your setup.
Should I use a track or a rod (especially for tall/heavy drapes)?
There isn’t a "one-size-fits-all" answer—it depends on weight, span, mounting location, and usage frequency. You can find specific load capacity information for reference on TheHues' Track and Rod product pages. For these heavyweight drapes or extra-tall windows, we recommend prioritizing tracks with a load rating that matches your needs.
Do the curtains include S hooks/pinch pleat hooks, or do I need to purchase them separately?
It depends on the header you choose:
Grommet / Back Tab / Rod Pocket: no hooks needed—slides directly onto a rod.
Pleated / Pleat Hook styles: we include the appropriate hooks based on your selection.
Roman Rings / Clip Rings: rings/clips are typically purchased separately to match your rod diameter.
To confirm hardware for a specific SKU, email support@thehues.com with the product link or your order number.
Will my rod diameter fit your grommets/loops?
Rod Pocket works best with rods ≤ 1.25" diameter. For Grommet, the internal diameter is about 1.56" and it pairs best with a 1.5" rod. Always confirm against the header option you select.
Which option is the most effective for noise reduction / thickest, and which is best for my space?
We offer multiple sound-reducing options (including this Quinn 4-layer soundproof style). Because results depend on gaps, mounting, and room conditions, there isn’t a single “best for everyone.” For the most effective setup, focus on a tight seal (minimize top/side gaps) and adequate fullness. If you share your room type and window measurements, we can recommend the best option—email support@thehues.com.
Do you have decibel reduction data or an STC rating/certification?
For our sound-reducing curtains, noise reduction can reach up to about 15 dB under ideal conditions.
Real-world results vary based on installation (especially top/side gaps), room construction, and the noise frequency.
If you need any available test information for this specific style (e.g., Quinn 4 Layers) or want a room-specific setup recommendation, email support@thehues.com with your measurements and photos.
Why is Rod Pocket/Back Tab recommended for noise cancelling?
Rod Pocket / Back Tab can create a tighter seal around the rod and reduce gaps, which helps improve blocking performance. See Soundproof Curtain Guide.
Is it 100% blackout? How effective is the thermal insulation?
Full blackout depends on the product and the lining you choose:
100% Blackout products like this Quinn curtain can achieve full blackout when installed properly with minimal gaps.
For most other curtains (excluding sheer/light-filtering styles), selecting a 100% Blackout Liner can dramatically increase light blocking.
Thermal insulation also depends on fabric thickness and lining—thermal/blackout fabrics or added liners typically provide better insulation.
Are your curtains flame retardant? Do they meet any standards?
Some products are available in flame-retardant fabric (e.g., the Frisian collection).
If you need documentation/standards for a project, email support@thehues.com with the product link and your requirements before ordering.
Can you make pinch pleats (e.g., double/triple pleats)?
Yes. The guides list multiple pleated options such as Double/Triple French Pinch Pleat, Euro Pleat, Goblet, and Inverted Box Pleat. Availability depends on the header styles offered on your product page. See Measurement Guide and Header Styles.
Can you make blackout/soundproof curtains with the same color on both sides?
Yes:
For the same fabric and color on both sides (except the header area), choose Same Fabric Liner.
For a close-matching polyester lining, choose Comparable Color Liner. An exact match across different fabrics may not always be possible—contact support to confirm before ordering.
Can I order swatches? How do I order them?
Yes. Order directly from Curtain Swatches: select your fabrics/colors and add them to cart.
Limits and shipping/fees follow the latest information shown on the swatch page.
Are tiebacks included or sold separately?
It varies by product—please follow the options shown on your curtain’s product page. Many curtain listings let you select tiebacks (for example Free Tiebacks / Matching Tiebacks), which will show in your order/price. If you want tiebacks separately, you can purchase them from Accessories.
Using Your Own Motorized Track or Overlapping Tracks?
Please contact us before ordering to confirm measurements and compatibility.
When installing your rod, we recommend extending each side by
4"-12"
beyond the window frame, based on wall space and light-blocking needs.
