Block Out Curtain Guide: Stylish & Functional (Part 2)

Dim - Out Curtain : The Flexible, Durable Choice

Room darkening curtains, also known as triple weave drapes, are made from a very tight weave fabric that can block out 50% to 85% of incoming light, depending on the color tone. Darker colors are more effective at blocking light. These curtains offer a balance between complete darkness and allowing some natural light in, making them ideal for rooms with moderate sunlight.

Strengths:

  • Ease of Maintenance: Dim-out curtains are much easier to clean and care for, with no special instructions needed.
  • Longevity: These curtains are durable and maintain their appearance and functionality over time.
  • Soundproofing: They offer some degree of soundproofing, contributing to a quieter indoor environment
  • Frugus-Free: The fabric is resistant to fraying, ensuring that the curtains remain in good condition for longer 
  • Low VOCs: They emit low levels of volatile organic compounds, making them a healthier choice for indoor air quality 
  • Affordability: Generally more affordable than traditional block-out curtais

Weaknesses:

  • Partial Light Blocking: Only blocks about 50% to 85% of incoming light, which may not be sufficient for those needing complete darkness.
  • Fit: Best suited for areas where complete darkness isn't necessary but where some light reduction is desired, such as living rooms, media rooms, sunrooms, or as liners for home theater curtains
  • Draping and Shape: They do not drape or retain their shape as effectively as traditional block-out drape.
