A good blackout curtain has to block out the light. But it depends of what you’re looking for, some people want a 100% blackout effect and some prefer to have some natural light coming in, especially when they wake up.

This is why MOONDREAM offers different solutions: from room darkening curtains (that block out 90-95% of the light) to blackout curtains (available mainly in darker colors) to total blackout curtains that block out all light completely (available in all colors, even white). The most important is to block out all night lights from the street and our MOONDREAM curtains achieve that.

The fabric used for blackout curtains makes all the difference: our dim-out and blackout fabrics are all weaved and textile. A black yarn is inserted in the middle of the two sides of the fabric and the blackout effect (between 90 and 100%) depends on the color and the structure of the fabric.

This is why we have categorized all curtains and their performances. For example, a MOONDREAM dim-out curtain or blackout curtain in light colors such as eggshell or white will block out 90% to 95% of the light.

To block out 100% of the light you better choose either a blackout curtain in a dark color or a coated fabric curtain (in any color). MOONDREAM’s 100% total blackout curtains provide optimal protection from sunlight and offer a total blackout effect across the entire colour range.
