Blackout drapery linings

Create the ideal sleeping environment by blocking virtually 100% of incoming light. Perfect for kids’ rooms, shift workers, light sleepers and home theatres.

Blackout lining is a poly-cotton cloth that is given coatings of acrylic foam with an opaque layer. This is the same lining used in fine hotels to create the ideal sleeping environment. When fit correctly to the window, drapes with blackout lining will block out almost all incoming light and provide a perfect sleeping environment.

Drapes and roman shades made with blackout linings look like any other product from inside the room, giving you the option of using a wide range of fabrics to match your décor. When choosing a fabric to use with a blackout lining it’s best to choose a medium to heavy fabric that can take the extra weight of the liner. It’s also a good idea to choose a fabric with a bit of colour as neutral or light-coloured fabrics can take on a grayish hue from the liner backing.

Blackout drapes and roman shades have other benefits besides improving your sleep
They provide the ultimate in privacy and can help insulate your home, keeping it cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

And blackout window coverings have other uses besides the bedroom. They’re perfect for home theatres with projector televisions. You’ll see a dramatic difference in picture quality when outdoor light is eliminated from a room.
