Key Specifications & Technical Data

Detailed Analysis of Features & Benefits

1. Complete Light Blocking (Blackout)

• The "B/O" designation confirms this is a genuine blackout fabric. Its primary purpose is to create near-total darkness in a room by preventing light penetration.

• Benefit: Essential for bedrooms to aid sleep (ideal for shift workers, children, and light sleepers), home cinemas for a superior viewing experience, and rooms where TV or monitor glare is an issue.

2. Premium Material (100% Polyester)

• Polyester is chosen for its durability, resilience, and resistance to fading, stretching, and shrinking.

• Benefit: Ensures the blind maintains its shape and the Beige colour remains vibrant over time, even when exposed to sunlight. It is also generally easy to maintain and clean.

3. Heavy-Weight & Dense Construction (360gsm / 0.65mm)

• A weight of 360gsm is classified as a heavy-duty, premium fabric. This high density is the key to its excellent performance.

• Notably, the thickness of 0.65mm is greater than many other blackout fabrics (which are often 0.50mm), indicating an even more substantial and robust material.

• Benefit: The fabric provides exceptional thermal insulation (helping to regulate room temperature) and acoustic insulation (dampening external noise). The extra thickness enhances its ability to hang in perfectly straight, neat folds.

4. Wide Roll Size (2800mm)

• The fabric is manufactured on a 2800mm wide roll.

• Benefit: This wide roll allows for the creation of very large blinds without unsightly joins or seams, ensuring a clean, continuous look for big windows.

5. Versatile Sizing Options

• The extensive range of available sizes makes it suitable for almost any window:

  • Width: Can be manufactured from a very narrow 250mm up to a full 2800mm wide.

  • Drop/Height: Can be made from 250mm up to 4000mm (4 metres), covering everything from small porthole windows to large patio doors or feature windows.

6. Aesthetic Appeal: Beige Colour

• The colour Beige is a classic, warm neutral. It is one of the most versatile colours for interior design.

• Benefit: It complements virtually any colour scheme, from traditional to modern. It creates a soft, warm, and light atmosphere in a room during the day, while providing complete darkness when closed. It is an ideal choice for a cohesive and elegant look throughout the home.

Typical Applications

This fabric is ideal for any room where complete light control, privacy, and a neutral aesthetic are desired:

• Bedrooms & Nurseries: To promote uninterrupted sleep.

• Living Rooms & Dining Rooms: To control glare and sun damage to furniture, while offering a neutral, decorative element.

• Home Cinemas & Media Rooms: To eliminate all ambient light.

• Master Bedrooms: Where the beige colour adds a touch of understated luxury and calm.

Important Considerations for Purchase

• Precise Measurement: For maximum blackout efficiency, precise measuring is crucial. An "inside mount" (recess fit) requires exact measurements, while an "outside mount" (overlapping the recess) is best for eliminating light leaks around the edges.

• Edge Leakage: Remember, the fabric blocks all light, but light can still enter through the gaps at the sides of a standard blind. For 100% darkness, consider professional installation with side channels or guides.

• Care and Cleaning: Due to its heavy weight, gentle vacuuming with a brush attachment is recommended for dust. Spot cleaning with a mild detergent and damp cloth is usually suitable. Always refer to the seller's specific care instructions.
