Premium Hard Blackout
Our room darkening options come in a hard and a soft version. The hard blackout is white in colour and has a thick, almost rubberized texture with a softer outer finish. It’s content is 50% cotton + 50% polyester.
Premium Hard Blackout lining is used on our lighter coloured fabrics for drapery panels to ensure the face fabric colour is not distorted by the grayer tone of the Premium Soft Blackout. We use this most commonly on our House Linen in Winter, Cozy Linen in Swan or Polar and Grace Linen in Glacier or Salt. This product cannot be used on our 100% Linen White or Oyster as a heads up as the weight and hand of the 2 fabrics really doesn’t jive at all.
Another key point to be aware of when ordering the lighter coloured fabrics that require the Hard Blackout is that because this product is fully opaque (meaning zero light comes through it) wherever we sew there can be needle holes where light may come through. This would be most notable on the side hems where the drapery meets in the centre and would only be noticeable if drapery is drawn during daylight hours. A small compromise for having blackout for sleeping if you ask me!
