Soundproof Acoustic Fabric

Soundproof Luxury: IFR Velour & Blackout Drapery by Equus Fabrics

When it comes to creating atmosphere, few materials do it better than velour — that plush, deep-pile fabric that instantly adds warmth, sophistication, and quiet.
But not all velours are created equal.

At Equus Fabrics, we carry a professional-grade Inherently Fire Retardant (IFR) Velour, a dense, soft blackout fabric engineered for theatres, hotels, restaurants, and commercial interiors that need sound absorption, visual elegance, and certified safety — all in one material.

🔇Designed to Reduce Echo and Amplify Style

Our IFR Velour is more than just beautiful — its dense pile structure and matte finish make it an excellent sound-softening fabric, ideal for reducing echo in large spaces.
While not a technical “soundproofing” material on its own, when used as a drapery with pleats or a wall panel covering, it can noticeably improve room acoustics by dampening sharp reflections and background noise.

Perfect for:

• Theatre stage curtains & acoustic backdrops

• Soundproof fabric for walls

• Hotel lobbies, ballrooms, and restaurants

• Film studios and event halls

• Recording rooms and hospitality interiors

🏗️ Built for Performance — Not Just Appearance

Equus Fabrics’ IFR Velour and blackout fabrics meet CAN/ULC-S109 and NFPA 701 fire-safety standards.
That means they’re not coated with temporary chemicals — the fire protection is woven into the fibres themselves.

Other benefits:

• ✅ Permanently flame-resistant (IFR) — never washes out

• ✅ 100% blackout for total light control

• ✅ Soft and drapable with a plush professional finish

• ✅ Excellent color retention and durability

• ✅ Available by the yard or in large contract quantities

🎨 Custom Printing — From Dramatic Velour to Branded Sound Panels

What makes Equus Fabrics unique is our ability to custom print directly onto FR and blackout fabrics.
Whether you need a subtle tonal texture, a rich velvet ombré, or a branded acoustic panel for a hotel or studio — our in-house dye-sublimation printing gives you creative freedom without sacrificing fire safety or quality.

Imagine:

• A hotel lounge with custom-printed acoustic drapes that match the wallpaper

• Soundproof fabric for walls

• A theatre with IFR black velour borders and digitally printed backdrops

• A restaurant with sound-softening fabric walls that double as art

That’s not just design — that’s smart, functional beauty.
