Sound-absorbing room dividers for smart, flexible acoustics

SilentDirect sound-absorbing room dividers are developed for those who want to combine improved acoustic comfort with thoughtful interior design and full flexibility in floor planning. In open offices, restaurants, school environments, industrial-adjacent office spaces, homes, and studios, disruptive noise, reverberation, and a lack of privacy can quickly affect focus, wellbeing, and personal comfort. With our textile room dividers, you create clear zones without construction projects, while lowering noise levels and giving the space a calmer, more inviting feel.

SilentDirect’s range of sound-absorbing room dividers is built on professional acoustic performance combined with exclusive textile design. The products are designed for environments where both function and aesthetics matter—whether it’s an activity-based office, a dining area, a reception, a studio, or a living room where multiple uses share a limited space.

Advanced multi-layer construction for effective noise reduction

The foundation of our sound-absorbing room dividers is an advanced multi-layer construction that combines acoustic performance with stable, high-quality textiles. The outer layers consist of a heavy, velour-like fabric made from 100% polyester, weighing around 300 g/m². The tight weave, soft sheen, and substantial weight make the divider look premium while actively helping to dampen sound.

Between the outer fabrics is an acoustic fleece layer of approximately 280 g/m² that absorbs sound reflections and reduces reverberation time in the room. Together, the layers function as an effective sound barrier that can reduce noise levels by up to 9 decibels. This is a difference you clearly notice in everyday life, especially in spaces where many people speak at once, phones ring frequently, or hard surfaces otherwise cause sound to bounce around.

Silent Divider Feltra is an example of how this three-layer build is used to create a room divider with weight, stability, and high sound-absorption capacity. The combination of heavy textile and acoustic fleece produces a more balanced soundscape and creates an environment where it’s easier to concentrate, hold conversations, and spend time without becoming fatigued by noise.

Optional blackout mid-layer for extra control

In many projects, light and sound need to be managed at the same time. That’s why SilentDirect sound-absorbing room dividers, such as Silent Divider Feltra, can be produced with a sewn-in blackout mid-layer. This additional layer sits in the centre of the construction, blocks light effectively, and further strengthens the acoustic effect.

For glass-walled offices, conference rooms with large windows, hotel rooms, bedrooms, and studios, this provides a clear advantage. The divider can be used as a textile wall that stops unwanted light, reduces screen glare, and dampens disruptive noise levels. The result is a more controlled environment where presentations, video meetings, rest, or recording can take place without light and sound working against each other.

Colour options, textile feel, and harmonious interiors

A sound-absorbing room divider shouldn’t just work technically—it should also enhance the overall impression of the space. SilentDirect therefore offers room dividers in ten carefully selected colours. The palette ranges from light, neutral tones that blend into minimalist settings to deeper, more characterful shades that add identity to the room.

The velour fabric’s soft sheen and heavy drape create a hotel-inspired feel that works just as well in a modern office as in an exclusive restaurant or a refined home. Because the same fabric is used on both sides, the divider has a symmetrical look, allowing it to be placed in the middle of a room as a freestanding textile wall. It appears equally considered regardless of which side guests or colleagues see.

This makes it easy to integrate the divider into existing interiors, whether you want a calm background element or a more active design feature. For interior designers, acousticians, and project managers, this means design and function can be planned as one cohesive whole—without compromise.

Flexible hanging with multi-tape and hidden loops

For a sound-absorbing room divider to be easy to use day to day, the hanging system needs to be well designed. Silent Divider Feltra is equipped with multi-tape, offering several practical installation options. You can use finger hooks, pleating hooks, or hang the divider directly on a rod via the integrated loops.

On the back, there are also hidden loops that create a clean, symmetrical drape without visible hardware. This is especially appreciated in spaces where aesthetics and overall cohesion are important, such as receptions, lounges, meeting rooms, and open living areas. At the same time, the construction is robust enough for daily use in offices, schools, studios, and other environments where the divider is often drawn, moved, or reconfigured.

Because the hanging system resembles a heavy-duty curtain solution, you can create new spatial zones without renovation or permanent walls. Zones can change as your organisation grows, shifts working methods, or develops new needs. This offers a level of flexibility that traditional building solutions rarely match.

Fire-rated, certified, and safe materials

When sound-absorbing room dividers are used in spaces where people work, study, eat, or sleep, material choice and safety are essential. Silent Divider Feltra meets fire safety requirements according to EN1021-1 and BS5852 Part 1:1979 (Ignition Source 0). This means the textile has been tested against smouldering ignition sources and meets the standards required in professional environments.

All textiles in the divider are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and produced in compliance with REACH regulations. This means the materials are controlled and free from harmful chemicals—important for both occupational safety and consumer use. The fabrics are also moisture-resistant, mould-resistant, and odour-free, supporting long service life and consistent performance even in spaces where the divider is used every day.

Swedish craftsmanship and a durable build

SilentDirect places great emphasis on traceability, quality, and sustainable production. Every sound-absorbing room divider is sewn in Sweden by experienced textile craftspeople who pay close attention to details, seams, and hanging. The fabrics are produced in Europe and made from hard-wearing polyester with excellent dimensional stability and high resistance to wear.

The heavy velour fabric creates an elegant drape that keeps its character year after year, even when the divider is used frequently or moved between different positions. This makes the product a long-term solution for both acoustics and interior design, rather than a temporary fix. For businesses and public organisations, it represents an investment that holds up over time—functionally and aesthetically.

Typical applications for sound-absorbing room dividers

In offices, sound-absorbing room dividers can be used to split open areas into smaller work zones, create more private meeting spots, or build quiet focus areas. By placing a divider between workstations or along corridors, you reduce disruptive background noise and create an environment where concentrated work is easier.

In restaurants and hotels, room dividers help lower noise levels and create more secluded seating without rebuilding the space. The textile surface softens conversations and clinking sounds while enhancing the sense of quality and care. In schools, the same solution can be used to form group rooms, reading corners, or temporary project zones within larger classrooms.

At home, sound-absorbing room dividers are an effective way to separate a workspace from social areas, create a sleeping zone in an open-plan layout, or add more calm around a TV corner. In studios and creative environments, they help control reflections, reduce reverberation, and create flexible corners for recording, editing, or practice. Near industrial settings, they can be used in office areas, break rooms, and meeting rooms to shield from noisier parts of the operation.

Create flexible, quiet, and visually cohesive spaces

SilentDirect sound-absorbing room dividers are a solution for anyone who wants to improve acoustics without building fixed walls. The multi-layer construction with heavy velour fabric, acoustic fleece, and the option of a blackout mid-layer delivers documented noise reduction, while the textile quality, colour range, and Swedish tailoring create a refined visual expression.

By combining acoustics, design, and easy installation, you can quickly adapt a space to new needs. Whether you’re planning a modern office, a welcoming restaurant, a functional school environment, a flexible home, or a professional studio, SilentDirect sound-absorbing room dividers help you create calmer, clearly structured, and aesthetically coherent environments.
