Benefits of Room Darkening Drapes

There are several key benefits that room darkening curtains provide:

Block Out Light

Room darkening curtains are exceptionally effective at preventing outside light from entering a room. The thick, layered curtains do not allow light to pass through. This creates an ideal dark sleeping environment.

Reduce Noise

In addition to blocking light, the dense fabric also helps muffle outside noise. While not completely soundproof, room darkening curtains add mass to windows which cuts down on noise disturbance.

Insulate Your Home

The lined, heavy-duty construction provides an extra layer of insulation for windows. This helps reduce heating and cooling costs by maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature.

Provide Privacy

A great way to add privacy! Room darkening curtains are opaque so you don't have to worry about prying eyes from outside.

Types of Room Darkening Curtains

There are a few different types of room-darkening curtains for your window treatment:

Blackout Curtains

Blackout curtains block out nearly all light, making rooms pitch black - perfect for day sleepers or home theaters. The thick, tightly woven fabric has a backing for maximum light blockage.
