Blockout Curtains Melbourne
Full darkness on demand, with a soft fabric look.
Feedback from Recent Customers
Blockout curtains are what you fit when you want full darkness on demand and a soft fabric look in the same room — bedrooms, media rooms, pooja and prayer rooms, or the parents' and in-laws' suite. Most Melbourne homes layer them with a sheer for the daytime soft-light job.

Triple-Pass Fabric
Three bonded layers of acrylic blockout coating deliver genuine darkness on demand — not just 'light filtering' — on a heavier base fabric built for a 10-plus-year life.
Won't Go Chalky
Cheap thin-coated blockouts flake and peel after one Melbourne summer of west sun, leaving white residue on your glass. Our triple-pass fabric is rated for the real heat and UV of a hot-facing room.
Thermal Layer
Fitted wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor, a heavier blockout adds a measurable thermal barrier on west-facing rooms through summer afternoons.

Common Questions
How much do blockout curtains cost for a bedroom in Australia?
For a typical bedroom (around 3m wide × 2.7m high wall-to-wall), expect $600 to $1,000 for blockout only, or $1,500 to $2,000 for sheer + blockout layered on a dual track. These figures are indicative only, based on our standard baseline triple-pass fabric and standard installation as at 2026 — your written quote after the free in-home measure is the binding figure. Layering doubles the fabric and the track, but it's the configuration most growth-corridor buyers end up choosing for daytime privacy plus full nighttime darkness.
What's the best blackout curtain for a pooja or prayer room?
A triple-pass blockout curtain or a sheer + blockout layered combination. Triple-pass blockout uses three layers of acrylic-coated fabric bonded together so no light passes through, even mid-morning. Sheer + blockout layered gives the same nighttime darkness with a softer daytime look. Both work; the choice comes down to whether you want the curtain look during the day. See our prayer-room blackout guide for the full pattern.
Why do cheap blockout curtains go chalky after one summer?
Cheap blockout curtains use a thin acrylic coating on the back of the fabric. Under a single Melbourne summer of west-facing sun, that coating starts to go chalky, flake, and physically peel — most visibly where the curtain touches the window ledge. Inside 12 months on a hot-sun room, you're left with a curtain that no longer blocks light and leaves white residue on your glass. Quality blockout curtains use a triple-pass coating bonded to a heavier base fabric designed to hold up across a 10-plus-year life.
Do blockout curtains help with heat or cold?
Yes — heavier-weight blockout curtains (with a triple-pass coating and a thicker base fabric) add a measurable thermal layer, especially when fitted wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor. They won't replace double-glazed windows or external roller shutters for hard thermal performance, but they noticeably reduce heat transfer through the glass on west-facing rooms during summer afternoons.
Which option is right for you?
We will confirm the best fit during your free in-home measure, but this guide helps narrow the decision.
Bedrooms & nurseries
Best for genuine darkness for sleep and shift workers, with a soft fabric finish rather than a hard blind edge.
Pooja & prayer rooms
Triple-pass darkness when the room is in use, soft filtered light the rest of the day, and a draft-free space for a steady diya flame.
Sheer + blockout layered
The layered dual-track setup most growth-corridor buyers choose — daytime softness and full nighttime darkness in a single fit-out.
