[Organizers] Re: Window curtains that might help w/ acoustics

Thanks all for the list replies, plus the direct 1:1 messages. I'll forward some of the more detailed acoustic recommendations to our sound providers in case those have helpful info for them. And we'll keep in mind the overall acoustic treatment suggestions (panels, etc) in case we have authority to make those changes. If anyone else has specific suggestions about the permanently-hanging window curtains (which is really all we're empowered to help with at the moment), please send them on. Sources, fabric recommendations, other considerations, etc. My question: Where would you buy decent quality fire resistant window curtains to dampen sound and improve acoustics? (What vendors do you recommend?) Thanks!!

(What vendors do you recommend?) Back story: Our first Friday dance series moved to a new venue when we started up again in November 2022. The hall is visually appealing, with a high ceiling made of tin, large windows on three sides of the hall, gorgeous hardwood floor, and incredibly welcoming venue owners. But it has VERY "live" acoustics, which are really challenging. The venue owners removed the curtains when they got their windows replaced. For several months, they've been looking for fire resistant window curtains for the large windows on all sides of the hall. We'd love for those curtains to also be really good at dampening sound (thus improving acoustics.) My internet searches are inconclusive so far. I'd love to have some suggestions for reputable sources that will serve our needs, offer a well-made window curtain product that's functional and aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for any suggestions or advice!
