What are Blackout Curtains?

Blackout curtains are crafted using from fabric and a specialised blackout curtain lining. Designed to block out light, they offer optimal darkness and privacy making them one of the most popular choices for bedrooms. Thanks to their lining, they effectively prevent sunlight from entering a room, creating a cosy and tranquil environment.

Do Blackout Curtains Keep Heat Out?

As with most window coverings, blackout curtains offer a certain degree of thermal retention. Not only do they block out light, but they also serve as insulators, helping to regulate room temperature. By blocking sunlight during hot days and trapping heat during colder months, they can contribute to energy efficiency and create a more comfortable living space. If you’re looking for optimal thermal retention, our thermal curtains are the best choice!

Can you Wash Blackout Curtains?

Yes, like most curtains, blackout curtains can be hand washed or machine washed. However, it’s essential to check the care instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure proper cleaning. Each of our curtains have different care instructions depending on material and finish. Some may require gentle washing with mild detergent, while others may need to be professionally dry cleaned to maintain their quality.

How to Wash Blackout Curtains?

To wash blackout curtains, you’ll need to start by removing them from the window. First remove any hooks or hardware and check the care label for specific instructions on how to clean. You can then follow our steps in our How to Clean Curtains guide.

How to get Creases out of Blackout Curtains?

If you notice slight creasing in your blackout curtains upon arrival there’s no need to worry! This creasing is usually caused from the fabric being folded up within the package and will smooth itself out in time once they’re hung. However, to remove these creases a bit quicker you can use a steamer. Using a low heat setting, gently steam them from top to bottom, however you should avoid applying any direct heat to the blackout lining itself to preserve its effectiveness.
