Types of curtains

Standard fabric curtains

Most commonly, curtain fabric is a sturdy cloth that will let some light in while still providing shade and privacy.

Sheer curtains

Sheer curtains are made of a very fine fabric or netting which allows the majority of light to pass through. These provide privacy without limiting too much natural light.

Blackout curtains

Blackout curtains or darkening curtains are made either of a very densely woven material or have an opaque backing applied. These block all light, hence the name.

Readymade curtains

Readymade curtains are pre-designed window treatments that offer convenience and simplicity for quick and easy installation.

Thermal curtains

Thermal curtains, a type of lined curtain, consist of three or more layers. Two layers of fabric have a sheet of flexible foam sandwiched between them, creating excellent insulation.

The advantages of high-quality curtains

By choosing higher quality materials, you ensure that the fabric is strong and neatly woven, without defects that will be clearly illuminated when backlit. High-quality fabrics are also dyed with UV-resistant dyes, so they won’t fade over time. The dyes are also usually better set in the fabric, so you can wash them without worrying about leeching the colour out.

How to choose curtains that are right for you

To choose the right curtains, you need to consider the room they are to be installed in. For instance, if you are in an area with strong street lights nearby, you may wish to have your bedroom curtains made from blackout material. If you are choosing curtains for your living room, you may want to choose sheer white curtains to allow plenty of natural light during the day while blocking direct glare. If you are choosing curtains for the kitchen, you should ensure they are made of fire-resistant materials. Last but not least, you should also think about the curtain rods and finials they are to be matched with as well as the existing decor of the room. Like any furnishing, their style should complement or enhance the overall look of the space they are in. You can also add blinds to your windows for more privacy and sun protection.
