The hottest trend for cool summer
When the weather heats up, it can be tempting to turn your air conditioner up higher and higher. After all, it’s hot outside! But that’s not always the best solution to keep your space comfortable while also lowering your energy bills. That’s where blackout curtains come in handy. Blackout curtains work by covering all available light entry points into your house, preventing the sun’s heat from seeping into your home and forcing your air conditioning system to work less hard at cooling your living space.

Our AP Blackout curtains are also known as sun-blocking curtains because they act as a protective barrier against the harmful heat waves and UV light radiations coming from the sun. Its opaque material reflects back the sunrays before it could enter your home!
When the curtain serves purposes such as blackouts and anti-UV, they can also meet your needs for light control in many different rooms.

Even the furniture, floors and other indoor items exposed to direct sunlight for a long time will cause a series of problems such as fading or cracks. Today we want to introduce some curtains with heat-shielding and UV protection functions, which can effectively solve the previous problems.

Each piece is made using 100% polyester to ensure maximum durability while acting as an energy-efficient resource in helping air conditioners cool up a room faster and also, preserve the coolness longer. Additionally, during winters, these curtains help keep the rooms warmer.
At AP Curtain we use the Weave-based heat shielding process: This special weaving technique uses threads and woven fabrics to organize into intricate patterns for curtains with high-quality insulation properties. During summer, the curtains provide protection from the sun and allow you a cool night’s sleep. And during winter, these window coverings have an insulating effect that provides warmth so you can enjoy a cozy night’s rest.
