What it brings to a room
Dark, even at midday
A blackout curtain is a drape fabric woven or coated so that light does not pass through. It is used wherever darkness is wanted: bedrooms, children’s rooms, home cinemas. Paired with a sheer, it gives soft light by day and full darkness when you need it.

Details and FAQs
Where it is used
Blackout curtains bring comfort in bedrooms that catch the early sun or where someone sleeps by day, in children’s rooms and in rooms with a screen or projector. On windows that face a street lamp or a lit building they work at night too.
Fitting decides how dark it gets
The fabric stops the light; how dark the room becomes depends on the fitting. A track mounted on the ceiling and wider than the window, with the curtain reaching the floor, cuts the light that leaks around the edges. At the survey we decide the track position and the curtain size for your window together.
With a sheer
As in the photographs, a blackout curtain is usually hung with a sheer, on the same track or a double one. By day the sheer is drawn and the blackout open; in the evening the blackout is closed.
How it hangs
A blackout curtain can be sewn pleated or in waves on a ceiling track, or hung with eyelets on a metal or wooden pole. We choose together, according to the room and the ceiling.

Frequently asked questions
Does a blackout curtain make the room completely dark?
The fabric lets no light through; the light that leaks around it depends on where the track is and how wide the curtain is. A curtain hung from the ceiling, wider than the window and down to the floor, darkens the room to a large degree.
Can a blackout curtain be used with a sheer?
Yes. On a double track the sheer and the blackout open and close separately: the sheer by day, the blackout at night.
