What are Blockout Curtains?

Whether you’re working the overnight shift or your little one needs a mid-day nap, blockout curtains are the way to go. Besides darkening a room at any hour of the day, these curtains also help with acoustics, dampening outside noise and help to regulate the internal room temperatures throughout different seasons. Blockout curtains make the room darker, which effectively reduces glare, making your experience in your home office more effective.

Where to find Blockout Curtains

We offer a wide range of ready-made blockout curtains, linings and blinds in different colours, sizes and patterns. Here are our options:

Blockout Curtains

Blockout curtains are tailored to block out sunlight. On the back of the curtains are three-pass thermal coating layers. The middle layer of the coating offers incredible light-blocking benefits, suitable for those wanting to darken their rooms completely. These curtains are ideal for the bedroom.

Attachable Blockout Curtains/Lining Curtains

Another of our light-blocking solutions is the attachable lining or lining curtain. If you notice that your curtains are letting in excess light, you might use this cost-effective option for sun filtering and increasing privacy. Adding attachable linings or lining curtains helps shield your curtains from sun fade. It also prevents sun damage to your furniture.

Blockout Blinds

If you aren’t keen on installing curtains, you can always opt for blinds. After all, they serve the same purpose. Our blockout blinds are among the most popular window furnishings, thanks to their premium quality and great value. With our vast selection of textures and colours, you’re sure to find the perfect match for your home. The blinds help achieve a bespoke look and meet your light control, thermal insulation and privacy needs. They are also durable.

Shopping for Blockout Curtains

The perfect blockout curtain for your home depends on several factors such as size, style and cost. Before purchasing your curtain, ensure you've thought about its use and the room in which it will be located.

• Drapery Style: How do the drapes hang from the curtain rod? This is another factor to consider before purchasing blockout curtains. Typically, blockout curtains should touch the floor, to avoid any light spilling in from outside.
• Curtain Sizing: Because the primary function of your blockout curtains is to block light, it might be unwise to go for a drapery that is the exact size of your window. Your drapery should be wider than the window opening. Ideally, they should extend outwards by at least 25cm.
