They also will provide you with a decent level of privacy by reducing glare but they wont completely darken your room.

Both 100% and 70% blockout / curtain linings are fully washable at temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius.

Hanging blackout curtains by yourself?

If you opt to go the DIY route, getting the measurements right is the most important step. Here’s a simple guide to hanging blackout curtains.

Measure the Width:

Measure from one edge of the window to the other.
Add extra width for a fuller look.

Measure the Drop:

Decide where you want your curtains to start and end.
Measure from the top of the window frame or curtain rod to the desired length.

Consider the Fullness:

Fullness is how much fabric is used to create pleats and folds. Dependent on the pleat style.
For a standard look, curtains should be 2 to 2.5 times the width of the window.

For the best results, its always recommend professional installation. However, if you love DIY projects, carefully follow your manufacturer’s instructions.
