Window decoration is an important part of the design of any room. Beautiful textiles not only decorate a room, but can also visually adjust its proportions. Yet the main function of windows is to let in sunlight.
Almost any curtains can disperse bright rays and hide from prying eyes. But if there is a need to completely darken the room, blackout curtains come to the rescue. What is blackout?
Blackout fabric (English blackout – darkening) is a modern material, which is a multi-layer fabric that absorbs light by 90-100%.
Blackout curtains consist of three layers:
- reflective, white, which is directed towards the window;
- the middle one, the thickest, has a high density and slows down the light flow;
- external, performs a decorative function and is available in a variety of materials and colors.
It is believed that blackout was invented in Finland, thereby solving the problem of sleep during the white nights. The material quickly gained popularity around the world due to its exceptional characteristics.
