Blockout Curtains

Block out curtains (also known as blackout curtains) are heavy-duty window treatments specifically engineered to stop light from passing through the fabric. They are the functional opposite of sheers, designed to give you total control over your environment.

Light & Privacy Control

Total Blackout Control: Engineered with a premium polyester face and a specialised acrylic backing, these fabrics create a 100% opaque barrier. When installed to cover the entire window, they eliminate all external light for a true blackout experience.

Uncompromised Privacy: The high-density opaque construction guarantees absolute privacy around the clock. Even with interior lights on at night, your home remains entirely shielded from outside view.

Thermal Insulation

  • Climate Control: Block out fabrics are excellent insulators. In the Australian summer, they reflect heat to keep rooms cooler. In winter, they trap warmth inside, helping to reduce your energy bills.
  • Furniture Protection: Just like sheers, but more effectively, they prevent UV rays from damaging and fading your carpets, lounges, and artwork.

Acoustic Benefits

  • Noise Reduction: Due to their density and thickness, block out curtains act as a sound dampener. While they aren’t “soundproof,” they significantly muffle outside traffic noise and neighbourhood sounds, creating a quieter indoor space.

Ideal Applications

  • Bedrooms: Essential for shift workers, parents of young children (for midday naps), and anyone sensitive to light while sleeping.
  • Home Cinemas: To eliminate glare on screens and create a true theatre experience.

Header Finishes

Triple Pinch Pleat 

  • The Look: Designed for traditional and formal interiors. It features groups of three folds pinched together at the base of the header.
  • Best For: High-end sheer or blockout curtains where a luxurious, voluminous drape is required. It creates a very structured, uniform look from top to bottom.

Twin Pinch Pleat 

  • The Look: A modern-classic compromise. It features groups of two folds pinched together, offering a neater, more contemporary appearance than the triple pinch pleat.
  • Best For: Homeowners who want a tailored, custom-made look that feels a bit less “heavy” or “busy” than a triple pinch pleat. It is very popular for patterned fabrics as it distorts the design less.

Euro Pinch Pleat

  • The look: A contemporary twist on a classic. Unlike traditional pleats that are gathered lower down, the Euro pinch pleat starts at the very top, offering a tailored finish with a more relaxed, open drape.
  • Best for: Formal living rooms or master suites where you want a custom, designer touch.

S Wave

  • Pendant Carriers: The curtain track contains “carriers” connected by a hidden cord or chain inside the rail. This cord ensures that when you pull the curtain, the carriers stay at a fixed distance, forcing the fabric into those perfect “S” curves.
  • Double-Sided Look: The curtain looks identical from the front and the back because there are no visible pleats or “headers” showing.

Bottom Finish

80mm Tailored Hem: A classic weighted finish designed to enhance the drape and ensure your curtains hang with effortless precision.
