FAQs
What are blackout curtains?
So, what are blackout curtains? Blackout curtains are window coverings made from thick, tightly woven fabric designed to block out sunlight and artificial light. They are effective at creating darkness in a room by preventing light from street lamps, car headlights and daylight from entering through windows. Unlike regular curtains or blinds, blackout curtains are double-lined and have minimal gaps, ensuring they provide maximum light-blocking capability. This makes them ideal for bedrooms, nurseries and spaces where darkness is essential for sleep or privacy.
Do blackout curtains block out 100% of light?
Blackout curtains are made to block most light, usually up to 99% or more. They use thick, opaque fabrics and special linings to stop light from getting through. While they create a dark room, they may not completely block out all light in every situation. Factors like curtain quality, how they're installed and other light sources nearby can affect how well they work.
Can people see you through blackout curtains?
Blackout curtains are made of thick, opaque fabric that prevents people from seeing inside your room when they are closed, especially at night. They effectively block the view from outside. However, if they're not closed properly or in certain lighting conditions, there might be slight visibility.
Do blackout curtains make your room colder?
Blackout curtains keep your room cooler by blocking sunlight and heat from entering through windows. Their thick, opaque fabric provides insulation This makes them a practical choice for comfort during hot weather and reduces the need for excessive air conditioning. However, their effectiveness depends on curtain quality and how well they are installed to minimise heat entry.
