Temporary acoustic curtains: short term fix or long term solution?

Balancing immediate relief with sustainable workplace sound management

When workplace noise becomes a problem, action is often taken quickly, and temporary acoustic curtains are a popular first response. But are they just a quick fix, or can they also be part of a longer-term solution?

Flexshield’s Sonic acoustic curtains are designed for both. They can be hired for short-term needs or customised for permanent use. Either way, the result is the same: a safer, quieter, and more productive work environment.

Let’s look at the strengths of each noise control option, and how to determine which acoustic curtains are right for your site needs.

Supporting Health, Safety and Productivity

In industrial environments, excessive noise is more than just a nuisance. It affects communication, increases risk, and reduces concentration. In many cases, it also pushes businesses out of compliance with EPA regulations.

Flexshield Sonic acoustic curtains are designed to reduce airborne noise and absorb sound in high-noise areas. This helps protect workers from noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), improves situational awareness, and creates a more focused work environment. Each acoustic curtain is built using high-quality materials, tested for Australian conditions, and supported by expert advice.

Achieve compliance quickly without compromise

EPA compliance is often time-sensitive. When your site is at risk of exceeding noise limits, you need a fast and reliable solution. Hiring Flexshield Sonic acoustic curtains gives you immediate control of your noise levels, without the lead times or capital outlay of a permanent installation.

Then, once the pressure is off, the same curtain system can be reconfigured or replaced with a custom-built, long-term solution. That flexibility is what sets Flexshield apart. Whether your need is short-term or ongoing, we deliver acoustic solutions that perform.

Which acoustic curtains work best for your site?

Temporary and long-term curtain systems each offer distinct advantages. The right choice depends on your operation, your budget, and your timeline.

In many cases, our clients start with a temporary curtain hire and transition into a permanent setup as their needs evolve. This approach allows you to trial the solution, meet compliance requirements, and plan a tailored system without pressure.
