Woven Blackout Fabric

Updated

Dark yarns inside a multilayer weave can reduce transmitted light without a thick coating. Check whether dark yarns show through and measure the finished curtain’s light blocking instead of assuming total blackout.

What to check in a sample

  • Visible light blocking
  • Dimensional change after washing
  • Light resistance
