The goal of continuous improvement and the desire to innovate in the textile sector mean that our laboratory, production, and R&D teams are always seeking the best solutions for homes and businesses.
This constant search gave rise to Foscusan, a fabric that limits ambient noise and improves sound quality, thus promoting communication between people. The technical capabilities of this fabric, especially suitable for use in curtains, allow spaces to be adapted to make them more habitable, healthy, and efficient. Furthermore, the fabric performs its function of blocking out light and exhibits excellent flame-retardant properties.
Being in a room with good acoustics where we can clearly hear the person we're talking to or meeting with is key to building healthier and more efficient spaces.
Improve interior sound
Surely some of these problems and contexts sound very familiar to you: chatting in a crowded place, not fully understanding a lecture, losing quality at a concert if we're a little behind, or not hearing instructions well in a meeting room.
The applications of Foscusan technical fabric are endless . Restaurants, concert halls, airports, recording studios, and conference rooms all benefit from improved acoustics and much clearer conversations. Its exclusive formula allows the fabric to enhance sound and doubles as a Dim Out fabric, maintaining complete darkness in the space.
The use of this fabric in curtains, blinds, or wall murals enhances the reverberation effect, eliminating very noisy and stressful environments. Specifically, reverberation measures the gradual reduction of sound, a key element in evaluating sound quality, whether in a small conference room or a large theater. Thanks to the fabrics used, the acoustics of any space can be greatly improved.
Thanks to Foscusan, you can make your rooms much more livable, healthy, and efficient. Noise pollution is a very serious problem, and being in a room where we not only perceive outside noise but also cannot clearly hear our interlocutor generates stress and increases feelings of tiredness and exhaustion.
Validations and tests carried out
The tests and trials to which our Foscusan curtain has been subjected are based primarily on its ability to increase sound absorption. If it manages to reduce the sound pressure level, sound reflections and distortions are reduced, improving sound quality, and reverberation time is shortened, improving speech intelligibility.
To perform these tests, different installation conditions are reproduced, including the distance from the curtain to the window (also known as the plenum), and curtain overhang of 0% (blind type), 100% (double-width curtain with pleats), 150%, and 200%. The acoustic tests on Foscusan fabric, carried out in the Reverberation Chamber of the Gandía School of Technology (EPSG) of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), are conducted under real-life practical conditions. The values obtained in these tests show optimal results for the use of curtains as absorbers of excessive reverberant noise, as set out in the Basic Document on Noise Protection (DB-HR) of the Technical Building Code (CTE).

Custom fabrics that are foolproof
Of course, Foscusan is a technical fabric created 100% by Comersan and as we have already mentioned, It has undergone numerous tests to verify its hiding, fire-resistant and sound-absorbing properties.
At the same time, customization is our hallmark, and in this case, we have a catalog with more than 30 colors to create custom designs that not only improve the acoustics of your space and make it more pleasant, but also decorate it in a unique way.
