The most important factor for many people when selecting blinds and curtains, is light control. A good blind or curtain will block or filter the light perfectly according to the style and purpose of the room. At Wynstan we have different opacity options when it comes to selecting blind or curtain fabrics. Here’s a guide so you choose the right opacity:
Blinds
Blockout
Blockout fabrics are perfect for privacy and complete light control. This type of fabric allows you to entirely blockout the outside light, as well as providing total privacy. They are best suited to rooms where complete light screening is top priority, such as a bedroom or media room.
Translucent
This type of fabric softens harsh light, while providing daytime privacy. Translucent fabric allows natural illumination, creating a beautiful ambience.
This fabric is perfect for kitchens and family rooms.
Sheer
Sheer fabrics allow light to be diffused, while allowing you to enjoy the view. This is designed to stop glare but allow light in, where visibility is important.
Curtains
Blockout
Blockout fabrics are perfect for privacy and complete light control. This type of fabric allows you to entirely blockout the outside light, as well as providing total privacy. They are best suited to rooms where complete light screening is top priority, such as a bedroom or media room.
Room Darkening
Room Darkening fabrics will dramatically reduce the incoming light to your room. However, they won’t make your room pitch black like Blockout Curtain fabrics does. They just make it noticeably darker than before. The room darkening fabric blocks unwanted views from outside, ensuring that your private space is well protected.
Sheer
Sheer fabrics allow light to be diffused, while allowing you to enjoy the view. This is designed to stop glare but allow light in, where visibility is important.
