What is Night Curtain?

Night curtains are a must have in every home in Singapore! Especially for those who live in HDBs and condos.

Night curtain help to prevent light and sound from entering a room it is hung in. Night Curtains can be made with privacy-inducing fabrics that help to act as a barrier to sound and light.
With these curtains, you need to worry about noise from noisy neighbours or from passing vehicles even if you live near busy roads.

What’s the difference between Night Curtains and Blackout Curtains?

Normal Night Curtains

Normal Night Curtains are what we can most commonly find in all Singaporean Homes. They typically only block out 50% to 70% of sunlight and privacy. These curtains are normally found in the living or study area of homes.

Dimmed Out Curtains

Dimmed Out Curtains are made out of thicker material compared to Normal Night Curtains thus they will have better UV and privacy blocking properties. Materials for Dimmed Out Curtains are normally made out of 3 layers thus allowing them to block out 75% to 90% of sunlight in a room.  

Blackout Curtains

Blackout Curtains materials are normally considered the thickest as they are able to effectively block out 100% of sunlight in a room. They are normally made with an extra layer of PVC sewn into the fabric which help makes it 100% blackout. However, some blackout curtains do require to be dry cleaned instead of just normal washing!
