What are blackout curtains used for?

By
Home Stager

If you purchase a new drapery for your bedroom, it is best to opt for a blackout drapery. Here’s why:

Saves energy

Most people opt for central heating during the evening, especially when everyone is in their home. However, about 25% of your room’s heat escapes through the windows. Blackout curtains help the room retain all its heat and reduce energy costs.

Blocks sunlight

Blackout drapes are an excellent choice if you want to block the sunlight. Blocking the sunlight gives you a pitch-black bedroom, which is an ideal sleeping environment. During the summers, these drapes keep the heat of the sunlight away from the room and avoid overheating.

Blocks sound

Although blackout drapes cannot create a soundproof environment, they are ideal for creating a sound barrier. Some blackout drapes come in triple-layer fabrics that reduce most noise entering your room, which helps you to focus on your work and enjoy a sound sleep.
