Fabric Type: Blockout

What Are Blockout Fabrics?

Blockout fabrics are designed to completely prevent light from passing through the material. Their primary purpose is to create darker, more controlled indoor spaces while improving comfort, privacy, and temperature regulation.

They are the most functional fabric type available when full light control is required, making them ideal for areas where brightness, glare, and heat need to be managed effectively.

Where Blockout Fabrics Are Best Used

Blockout fabrics are best suited for interior applications where fabric-based systems are used and light control is essential, such as:

• Bedrooms and sleeping areas

• Home theatres and media rooms

• Nurseries and children’s rooms

• Offices and meeting rooms

• Apartments or homes with strong sun exposure

Key Benefits of Blockout Fabrics

• Complete light blockage for true room darkening

• Maximum privacy both day and night

• Improved insulation and thermal performance

• Reduced glare on screens and televisions

• Helps protect interiors from UV damage

• Creates a more comfortable indoor environment

Blockout vs Other Fabric Types

Each fabric type serves a different purpose:

• Blockout Fabrics
  Designed for full darkness, privacy, and insulation.

• Light Filtering Fabrics

Blockout fabrics are the best choice when complete light control is the priority.
