Blackout Curtains

Choose Your Blackout Curtain Style

Blackout curtains, just like other kinds of window treatments, come in many different styles. They may have different “headings”, which is the way they attach to and slide along the rod at the top. Some of the types and styles of blackout window coverings that we offer at The Blinds Source include pencil pleats, eyelets, and pinch pleats. Different varieties are suited to different formalities and styles, but all serve the same purpose of blocking out light while also helping maintain ideal temperatures indoors. Each style is also perfect for ensuring your privacy. We can help you determine the best type of blackout curtain for your space, a truly personalized look.

Benefits of Blackout Curtains When Living in New York City

Complete light control.

The main distinctive feature of blackout curtains is the fact that they black out all light. This is due to the thick blackout curtain liner. Other curtain types are great for common spaces where a homeowner wants to block out part of the light while keeping the window covering tightly drawn, but blackout window covers are unique in that they block almost all light when closed. This is perfect for bedrooms, offices, or any other space where you need a dark and quiet environment.

Stylish Design.

Simply put, the best blackout curtains are beautiful. Their naturally thick fabric and texture make them a substantial element of a room, and not just a flimsy window dressing. Blackout window covers come in all shapes, sizes, and styles to fit in any room and bring the space together. Whether in a child’s bedroom or an elegant living room, they can enhance any space.

Temperature control and insulation.

Blackout curtain liners are some of the best available for temperature control. Good curtains can prevent a bedroom from feeling cold at night and hot in the morning. Both the thickness of the curtain and its light-blocking abilities mean that they’re perfect for keeping any room not only dark but cool as well. This can come in handy during those hot New York City summer days or cold winter nights.

Increased energy efficiency.

Since they’re so effective at temperature control, blackout panels are excellent insulators as well. Windows are some of the greatest energy hogs in a home since they often let A/C or heat out exactly when you don’t want them to. But blackout curtains solve the problem — by keeping good air in and bad air out, they not only keep your temperature stable, but they save on energy bills and sometimes even pay for themselves.

Noise reduction.

Thanks to their thick fabric lining the entire window, blackout curtain liners are effective noise reducers in addition to light reducers. This is key for any room. Just as no one wants to be woken up by unwanted light, no one wants to be woken up by unexpected noise.
