Ludvig Svensson curtain and upholstery fabric
Ludvig Svensson design and weave every fabric in their own mill in Kinna, Sweden. With their acoustic curtains, the fabric that dresses a window also quiets the room.
Hume Internationale has been the exclusive supplier of Ludvig Svensson in Australia and New Zealand since 2020. Svensson have been family owned since 1887. They also make climate screens for commercial greenhouses, which manage light and heat over a crop, the job a curtain does in a room.
Sound absorption, measured and classed from A to E
Each acoustic fabric is tested to ISO 354 in a reverberation room and classed from A to E. Hang it 10 cm or more from the wall: deeper folds absorb more.
Trevira CS, flame retardant in the fibre
Svensson weave curtains and upholstery in Trevira CS, flame retardant in the fibre itself. The protection lasts the life of the fabric, however often it is drawn, cleaned or sat on.
IMO certified for vessel curtains and seating
Svensson certify to the IMO FTP Code, Part 7 for curtains and Part 8 for upholstery, in Trevira CS and in wool. Each range holds its own certificate.
Woven to absorb sound, not to reflect it
A sound curtain works by friction. The more friction between the sound and the fabric, the more is absorbed, and it turns to heat in the curtain.
Weave it too compact and the sound is reflected. Weave it too open and the sound passes through. A thicker fabric is not automatically a better one.
Svensson weave each new fabric as a sample, test it, and weave it again until it is right.
