Our curtains feature LUMENCONTROL™, a light control technology that uses two technical processes depending on the level of light blocking required:
- 100% blackout curtains have a coating that completely blocks light from passing through the fabric, regardless of the colour chosen.
- Blackout and dimout curtains have a black yarn woven into the fabric to reduce the amount of light passing through. Their level of light blocking varies according to the colour: darker shades generally block more light than lighter shades.
The level of light blocking for each model is stated on its product page.
Our 100% blackout and dimout curtains feature LUMENCONTROL™ technology. Your choice depends on how dark you would like your room to be.
To sleep in darkness, even without shutters, choose a 100% blackout curtain. Its fabric completely blocks out light, regardless of the colour chosen, even a light shade. Make sure the curtain adequately covers the window and its frame to limit light entering around the edges.
If you prefer to let a little daylight filter through so that you can wake up naturally, choose a dimout curtain. It reduces light without blocking it out completely.
The level of light blocking is stated on each product page to help you choose.
Yes, a white curtain can completely block out light: its effectiveness depends on the technical process used.
With LUMENCONTROL™, our 100% blackout white models have a coating that prevents light from passing through the fabric, even in broad daylight. Their performance is identical to that of the other colours.
White blackout or dimout models reduce light without providing complete darkness. Check the level of light blocking stated on the product page.
For maximum darkness, also make sure the curtain adequately covers the window and its frame to limit light entering around the edges.
To block out light without changing your curtain, you can add a Moondream blackout lining, which attaches to the back of your existing curtain. This allows you to keep your décor while making your room darker.
See our lining installation guide for step-by-step fitting instructions.
Yes. To adjust your curtain's length, we recommend our height adjustment service for a neat finish.
If you prefer to hem it yourself, an iron-on hemming tape is supplied with our blackout curtains. Please see our guide for the steps and precautions to follow.
If you need specific dimensions, you can also order a custom-made curtain.
Care requirements depend on the fabric and its treatment. Most of our blackout curtains can be machine-washed at 30°C on a delicate cycle with a gentle spin, but some models require extra care.
Before washing, check the instructions on the product page and the label sewn into your curtain to find the appropriate cleaning method.
If your curtain's label allows ironing, use a low-temperature iron on the fabric side only. Avoid ironing the curtain's coating directly, where applicable.
You can place a slightly damp cloth between the iron and fabric to protect it. Always follow the care instructions for your model.
