coated blackout fabric
Want a bedroom that stays dark at noon or a home theater with no glare on the screen? Coated blackout fabric is the go-to choice for curtains, Roman shades, and drapery linings that keep sunlight out. A light-blocking coating on the back of the cloth stops light from passing through, while the face keeps a soft, finished look.
Why Choose a Coated Fabric?
Unlike standard room darkening fabric, a coated weave is built to block light rather than just filter it. Many styles also work as thermal blackout lining, helping windows hold in warmth during winter and keep out heat in summer.
Popular Uses
- Bedroom and nursery curtains
- Media rooms and home offices
- Blackout drapery lining behind decorative panels
- Roman shades and roller blinds
What to Look For
Check the backing type. Foam backed fabric and three-pass blackout fabric layer coatings to block more light. Hold a sample up to a window to check for pinholes, and consider the color facing the street. Also note the weight and drape so the finished panels hang the way you want.
