Darkness, privacy and comfort
A substantial layer for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms

Room Darkening
Strong privacy and room-darkening performance for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms.
Thermal & Acoustic Comfort
Fabric layers can improve thermal and acoustic comfort at the glass.
Extensive Colour Range
Extensive neutral colour and texture options to coordinate with your interior.

Fabric guide
Choose the fabric, lining and track
Coated Blockout
A single fabric with an integrated blockout coating for straightforward performance and easy care.
Face Fabric & Lining
A decorative face fabric paired with separate blockout lining for a richer, more furnished finish.
Pelmets & Returns
Pelmets and wrapped returns conceal the track and help reduce light escaping around the edges.
Convenient control
Motorised blockout curtains
Motorisation suits wide tracks or hard-to-reach windows, allowing curtains to be drawn together with a remote, wall control or compatible smart-home system rather than a hand-pulled cord.
We will discuss power access, control preferences and suitable motor options during your consultation.

Helpful answers
Blockout Curtains FAQs
Will blockout curtains make a room completely dark?
They greatly reduce light, though small amounts may enter around the track and sides; pelmets and returns can improve performance.
Do they help with insulation?
A well-fitted lined curtain adds a useful barrier at the window, though results depend on glazing and installation.
Should curtains touch the floor?
We normally specify a controlled floor clearance or deliberate puddle according to the design and practicality required.
Can blockout curtains be ceiling mounted?
Yes. Ceiling mounting creates a clean architectural line and can help reduce light escaping above the track.
Do blockout curtains work well with sheers?
Yes. Blockout curtains are often layered with sheers on a double track for daytime softness and night-time privacy.
Can blockout curtains be motorised?
Suitable systems can be motorised, subject to track length, curtain weight, power access and the selected product.
What colours are popular?
Warm white, ivory, greige and pale taupe are popular, versatile choices that suit most interiors.
How much do custom blockout curtains cost?
Pricing depends on window width, fabric, lining, heading style, track and installation. A measure and quote provides a clear project-specific price.
