FAQs

What is the coating on blackout curtains? ›

Blackout lining is a three-layer coated acrylic suede applied to the reverse side of this fabric, making it better at retaining more heat and blocking out more light than a thermal lining.

Eyelets look more modern and slip onto a pole. They often offer more coverage at the top of your window than pencil pleats, but light will sneak through the holes if they're too big for your pole. Blackout curtains are hung like regular curtains.

While both blackout curtains and window films are effective, there are distinct advantages to choosing window film. Blackout curtains and drapes create adequate privacy and reduce the amount of light that enters your room. However, they do not block 100% of the light and UV rays.

Bonded Blackout Lining (Blackout with interlining)

This lining offers all the benefits of a Blackout lining and is excellent for thermal insulated curtains, that prevent heat from escaping during the winters, as well as protects your home from the heat during the summer. Insulated curtains often help with energy costs.

Blackout curtains have few health disadvantages. However, manufacturers may produce blackout curtains or roller blinds using polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This material has phthalates, chemicals that can enter and damage the human body through air particles, direct contact, and other methods.

Limited Natural Light: While blackout curtains excel in light control, they block out almost all natural light. If you enjoy a well-lit space during the day or prefer a softer ambiance, blackout curtains may not be the ideal choice.

Cons of eyelet curtains

Light control issues: When placed inside a window recess, eyelet rings allow light in even when the curtain is closed.

Blackout fabrics in black are perfect for those who want a complete absorption of visible light. For those wanting to have the colours of the deep ocean, you can choose to buy blackout fabrics in deep or dark blue colour. Dark blue is very much close to black, which makes it also as efficient in blocking out light.

For example, a MOONDREAM dim-out curtain or blackout curtain in light colors such as eggshell or white will block out 90% to 95% of the light. To block out 100% of the light you better choose either a blackout curtain in a dark color or a coated fabric curtain (in any color).

Do blackout curtains block 100% of light? ›

Blackout curtains are typically designed to eliminate 95-100% light.

Blackout curtains and shades will reduce the amount of heat which is transferred via your windows by as much as 24 percent, keeping the rooms where they're installed cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This will allow you to use your heating and cooling system more efficiently and save energy.

Step by Step Guide to Measuring Your Window

Remember, you'll need your curtain's width to be 1.5 to 2 times this measurement for full coverage. Measure the Height: Next, measure the height of your window from the top of the frame to the windowsill or the floor, depending on where you want your curtain to end.

Black out linings can be sewn into a curtain like any other lining. You just need to remember to face the fabric side to the window and the coated side to the fabric.

There are two types of fabrics which we use as lining and these are either 2-pass or 3-pass blackout. The pass refers to the amount of times a simple polyester fabric is coated with a thin foam layer. Both fabrics first received a black foam coating (literally the black-out, ha!) and then a finish coat of foam.

What is blackout lining made from and what colours does it come in? Blackout lining is made using a poly/cotton mix (blackout lining made from 100% natural materials doesn't yet exist). The fabric is then coated in an acrylic layer to increase its light-blocking properties.

Most blackout curtain fabrics use polyester as a solo material or combine it with other fabrics. Polyester is a synthetic fabric that boasts affordability, durability, and superior light-blocking qualities.

Thermal coated fabrics improve the insulation and energy efficiency of your home by being treated with layers of acrylic.
