Performance Drapes

Acoustic & Light Control Solutions for Golf Simulator Enclosures

TruSim Systems offers a curated range of performance drapes engineered for acoustic absorption, light control, and visual refinement in golf simulator enclosures. Stocked in multiple colors and weights and manufactured in-house by Canwil Textiles, our drapes improve sound quality, reduce light bleed, and deliver a rich, finished look for residential and commercial simulator spaces.

Why Acoustic & Light Control Matters in Simulator Environments

  • Golf simulator enclosures present unique challenges that standard interior finishes do not solve.

  • Without proper soft-surface materials, simulator rooms can suffer from:

    • Excessive echo and reverberation
    • Harsh ball-impact noise
    • Stray projector light and glare
    • Visual distractions around the screen
    • An unfinished or “garage-build” appearance
     

    Acoustic and light control drapes address all of these issues simultaneously, making them one of the most effective upgrades in a simulator build.

Velour & Velvet Drapes

  • Velour and velvet fabrics are widely used in:

     

    • Theaters
    • Cinemas
    • Recording studios
    • Performance venues

  • In golf simulator enclosures, they are chosen for three primary reasons:

Acoustic Absorption

  • The dense pile surface of velour and velvet:

    • Breaks up sound waves
    • Reduces echo and slap-back
    • Softens ball-impact noise
    • Improves overall sound clarity inside the enclosure


    Heavier weights provide greater absorption, making these fabrics especially popular in residential installations.

Light Blocking & Glare Reduction

  • Dark, plush fabrics absorb stray projector light rather than reflecting it back into the room. This:

     

    • Improves image contrast
    • Reduces visual distractions
    • Enhances realism during play
    • Supports both short-throw and long-throw projector setups

Premium Appearance

  • Velour and velvet create a rich, finished aesthetic that hard surfaces cannot replicate. They:

     

    • Add depth and warmth to the enclosure
    • Conceal framing and structural elements
    • Elevate the space from functional to premium
    • Blend naturally with residential interiors

Polyester & Performance Polyester Fabrics

In addition to traditional velour and velvet, TruSim Systems stocks performance-grade polyester fabrics designed for durability and versatility.

These materials offer:

  • Excellent dimensional stability
  • Consistent color across large runs
  • Lighter-weight options where appropriate
  • Clean, modern visual aesthetics

     

Performance polyester fabrics are often selected for:

  • Commercial environments
  • High-traffic installations
  • Projects requiring easier handling
  • Situations where durability and consistency are priorities

Fabric Weights & Performance Options

TruSim Systems maintains inventory in multiple fabric weights to match performance needs.

Common Weights Stocked:

  • 15 oz — Balanced acoustic control and flexibility
  • 22 oz — Maximum sound absorption, light blocking, and plush appearance

Heavier fabrics provide:

  • Greater sound dampening
  • Improved light absorption
  • A more luxurious, theater-like finish

Lighter options offer:

  • Easier handling
  • Faster installation
  • Flexibility in hybrid or smaller spaces

Available Colors

We stock a wide range of colors commonly used in simulator environments, including:

Black | Red | Green | Gray | Blue

Additional colors available upon request

Dark colors are typically preferred for maximum light control, while accent colors are often used for side walls, entry areas, or design-forward residential builds.

Residential vs Commercial Applications

Residential Installations

Home simulator owners often prioritize:

  • Noise reduction
  • Visual warmth
  • Interior design integration
  • A theater-quality look and feel

 

Velour and velvet drapes are especially popular in residential builds because they:

  • Improve acoustics without visible panels
  • Absorb light effectively
  • Create an intentional, finished space
  • Increase the overall perceived value of the simulator room

Commercial Installations

In commercial facilities, performance drapes help:

  • Reduce cross-bay noise
  • Improve player focus
  • Enhance customer experience
  • Maintain a clean, professional appearance

 

Performance polyester fabrics are frequently used alongside velour to balance durability, aesthetics, and maintenance requirements.
