Blockout

How do blockout curtains block light?

Blockout curtains are designed to create a dark environment in your room. They are made from densely woven, heavy fabrics that prevent sunlight from penetrating.

Unlike other curtain types used in living rooms, kitchens and bath areas, which let some light through, these window treatments are the ultimate light blockers. These curtains often have multiple layers, which allows the curtain fabric to create the perfect room-darkening effect.

At Carpet Court, we offer a wide range of blockout curtains. Whether you need them for your bedroom, living area or any other space, our collection provides functionality and style. Check out our extensive selection of curtains online or drop by our showroom to find the perfect window furnishings for your Australian home.

Can blockout curtains help you sleep better?

Improving sleep quality often starts with creating the right environment. Blockout curtains are an effective way to achieve this by blocking out unwanted light and reducing noise. This can be especially helpful for those who sleep during the day or live in brightly lit areas.

The dense, top-quality fabric makes sure your bedroom remains dark and quiet for a more restful sleep. These curtains even provide added insulation to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the night. This can make it easier to sleep without interruptions.

Blockout Curtains vs. Thermal Insulated Curtains

When it comes to improving your home's comfort, blockout and thermal insulated curtains offer unique benefits. 

Blockout curtains are designed to keep your room dark by blocking out all light. This makes them ideal for bedrooms, especially if you need to sleep during the day. They also help reduce noise by making your space quieter and more peaceful.

Thermal insulated curtains focus on maintaining the temperature inside your home. They are made with materials that trap heat, which keeps your rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Some thermal curtains come with an acrylic coating to enhance their insulating properties.

Both types of curtains can enhance your home’s comfort, but selecting the right one depends on your specific needs.
