What Are Blackout Curtains?

Typically, standard curtains are one layer of fabric which you can then combine with a lining if you wish. Blackout curtains on the other hand either utilise a thicker and denser fabric or are lined with a blackout lining. Both have the ability to completely blockout light. Opting for blackout curtains means you are free from unwanted light disturbing sleep. For this reason, blackout curtains and blinds make a popular choice for bedrooms.

What is the Difference Between Blackout and Thermal Blockout Curtains?

The difference between blackout curtains and thermal blockout curtains is that blackout curtains typically only blackout light and darken the room, whereas thermal blockout curtains are designed to not only darken the room but also help to retain heat in the room as well. Blackout curtains, as they are made from a thicker fabric or are lined, will help to retain some heat in the room - thermal blackout will help that little bit more. All of our blackout curtains also have thermal properties, a two in one! You will keep the light out and the heat in with our blackout curtains!

How Practical are Blackout Curtains?

Blackout curtains and blinds are some of the most practical window dressings available to you, especially when utilised in rooms which require the most light control. The beauty of blackout curtains is that they offer maximum light control for bedrooms, creating the perfect ambience to unwind and relax. They are the perfect option for a child's bedroom, for those light evenings and afternoon naps, blackout curtains help to darken the room making sleep far easier.

How to Hang Blackout Curtains?

How you hang your blackout curtains will depend on the heading type. It will either be an eyelet heading or pencil pleat heading. If you choose blackout eyelet curtains, you will simply be able to thread the eyelet rings onto a curtain pole of your choice. If you choose pencil pleat curtains you can then choose whether to hang them on a curtain track or curtain pole. For a track you will need curtain hooks and for a pole you will need rings. You can then attach your rings or hooks to the heading tape at the height of your choice before gathering the curtains to form pleats and hanging on the track or pole.
