Why Blackout Curtains Are Worth It
What is Blackout curtain?
Blackout curtains are designed to keep the light from filtering into a room from the windows, allowing homeowners to enjoy a darker room any time of day. It also helps keep the heat in and maintain room temperature, so you can stay comfortable year-round in your home.
The history of blackout curtains began in early 1939 during World War II and has been continuing its evolution up until today.
The benefits of Blackout curtain
In the heat of summer, keeping your home cool can be challenging, especially if you have large windows that allow sunlight to stream in during the day and heat to leave at night. One great solution? Blackout curtains!
- Light Shading of Blackout curtain
When the curtain has unique functions, such as blackout and anti-UV, it can also meet your needs for light control in different interior areas. We recommend blackout curtains for the New Zealand market as the summer here can be quite overpowering. New Zealand has high levels of UV rays, so blackout curtains are the solution to blocking out the sun in the living room, bedroom, entertainment room, etc. Using blackout curtains in the room will help eliminate glare from TV screens and computer monitors, and enhance your viewing experience.

- Heat Insulating – Energy Efficiency
Blackout curtains are designed to help keep hot or cold air in your home. They accomplish this by reducing air exchange frequency between the windows and the rest of your home. Air is constantly attempting to balance itself, and the hot air from your windows is trying to enter and mix with the cooler air inside your home. If you prevent this warmer air from entering your home, it will stay cooler for longer, making it perfect for homeowners who are seeking energy efficiency.
- Noise reduction
Blackout curtains are thick, so they also help soften outside noise.
