What makes a curtain or window treatment blackout? When referring to the term blackout, it means that the window treatment is made with a foam or opaque backing. This material then blackens or darkens the room by preventing the sunlight from flooding the room when they are closed. The most common material used to make the curtains is triple-weave polyester. This fabric keeps them light and effective. The NICETOWN Grommet Blackout Curtains, 2-Panels are made from triple-weave fabric and as an added feature are wrinkle-free.

In addition, blackout curtains are not the same as drapes. Curtains are defined as one layer of fabric that filters light. Drapes feature more than one layer and often feature an entire blackout layer. Drapes are typically dark and very heavy. When shopping for blackout curtains, you will find they have blackout features built into the layer of fabric or just a very thin layer sewn on the back, making them much more lightweight than drapes.

Blackout curtains are not only good for blocking out the early sunlight. These curtains can also keep your furniture from fading in strong UV rays. In addition, the curtains will keep your heat inside during the winter and the cool inside during the summer. One additional advantage of blackout curtains is their ability to reduce noise or reverb. If you have a large room with high ceilings, blackout curtains can help the space quite a bit. Look for a set that offers outstanding insulation for those extreme temperatures.
