Buying advice: blackout curtains

  1. Look for panels described as 100% blackout or with a coated or lined back if you need full darkness for day sleep or a home theater. Room-darkening fabric is fine for general privacy.
  2. Choose total panel width at least 1.5 to 2 times the window width so the fabric overlaps when closed. Extend the length below the sill or to the floor.
  3. Mount the rod several inches above and wider than the frame. A wraparound rod that returns to the wall blocks side leaks.
  4. Thick, lined curtains reduce heat gain in summer and drafts in winter, particularly on single-pane windows.
  5. Many blackout panels are machine washable on cold, but coated backs can crack in a hot dryer. Check the care label.

What makes a blackout curtain better for a very bright, sun-facing room?

The backing material matters most. A foam-laminated or triple-weave backing, like Eclipse's Thermaback construction, blocks a higher percentage of direct light than a plain woven or sateen fabric, which typically tops out around 90% to 95% blocking even in a dark color. For a room with unobstructed direct sun for several hours a day, that difference between 95% and 99% blocking is very noticeable.

Do blackout curtains reduce heat as well as light in a sun-facing bedroom?

The same backing that blocks light also reflects and insulates against radiant heat, and most blackout curtain brands advertise a specific energy-loss reduction figure, commonly in the 25% range, from reduced heat transfer through the window. A sun-facing bedroom that runs several degrees warmer in the afternoon will typically feel a real difference with a properly fitted blackout curtain closed during peak sun.
