Blockout Curtains
Blockout Curtains: Total Darkness & Thermal Insulation
Turn day into night and keep your home comfortable year-round.
Whether you are a shift worker needing deep sleep during the day, a parent setting up a nursery, or a movie buff creating the ultimate home theatre, Blockout Curtains are the most effective window covering solution available.
At Home Blinds, our made-to-measure blockout drapes do more than just stop the light. They act as a heavy insulating shield for your windows, trapping heat out in summer and warmth in winter. Experience the luxury of silence, darkness, and climate control in one beautiful package.
Why Choose Blockout Curtains?
The Heavy-Duty Solution for Australian Homes
100% Light Blocking: Our premium blockout fabrics are coated with multiple layers of acrylic foam or lined with a separate blackout backing. This ensures zero light penetration through the fabric, creating the perfect environment for sleep.
Superior Insulation (Save on Energy): Glass windows are the biggest source of heat gain and loss in a home. Heavy blockout curtains create a “dead air” space between the fabric and the glass, significantly reducing the need for air conditioning and lowering your electricity bills.
Noise Reduction: The density of blockout fabric helps to dampen outside noise. If you live on a busy road or have noisy neighbours, these curtains will help soften the sound and improve your home’s acoustics.
Fabric Protection: The harsh Australian sun can ruin timber floors and fade lounge suites in a matter of months. Blockout curtains act as a total barrier against UV damage.
Styles & Configurations
Functionality Meets Fashion
We don’t believe practical curtains have to look boring. We offer various ways to achieve the blockout effect:
S-Fold Blockouts: The modern choice. Get the popular “wave” look using heavy blockout fabric. It stacks back neatly and looks structural and high-end.
Coated Fabrics: The blockout coating is applied directly to the back of the decorative fabric. This is a lighter, cost-effective option perfect for modern apartments.
Separate Lining: For a truly luxurious, hotel-style feel, we sew a separate blockout lining behind your chosen face fabric. This adds volume, fullness, and better insulation properties.
Pelmets: For the ultimate darkness, pair your curtains with a Pelmet (Box) at the top. This stops light from bleeding over the top of the track—critical for nurseries and media rooms.
