Curtain Our Original
Do Blackout Curtains Really Work?
The term 'blackout' curtains was originally used during World War II to describe curtains that would keep light in the house at night...not letting the enemy bombers see light at night. But now the term describes curtains that are supposed to block OUT the light during the daytime.
There are several reasons people consider using these special curtains. First, they may need to sleep during the day due to night shift work. Or, they may have small children who need to nap during the afternoon, or whose bed time is earlier than the sunset. Others may need to sleep at night but live in a city where there are bright lights and light from traffic.
Aside from sleeping, some people want to use them in their 'media room', or TV room. With home theater systems becoming more popular, people are finding that having the room as dark as possible makes a difference in the quality of the picture on the televsion, or they need to cut down the glare on the screen.
All of these are good reasons to use blackout curtains. And yes, the do work. There are some models in particular that work especially well for a Very Good reason: they have a solid rubber lining.
These lined curtains have a white coating on the window-side of the curtain which is opaque. It allows zero light through. There are some blackout curtains which are simply made with a tight weave and thicker materials, but the curtains with the liner are the best for blocking light.
They may cost a little more than standard curtains, but there are added benefits for room darkening curtains which can help them pay for themselves. In the summertime, they can effectively reduce the temperature in a room as much as ten to fifteen degrees. By blocking so much sunlight, the curtains can actually lower your electric bill by reducing how much you need to cool the house.
So, yes...room darkening curtains do work as well as advertisers claim, and they are worth the extra money.
