or heat (possibly both) and provide a certain amount of privacy and coolness to the area wherein it is used, thereby causing a 'blackout' of the illumination that would have resulted, had it not been for this kind of
curtain.
How the blackout curtain originated
Curtains and screens, which were to be used for blackout, were first developed to shade sensitive crops and to manage the photoperiod of others. These were used to
supply insulation and help keep heat near the plants, thus preventing the loss of heat radiation to the cold of the night or late evenings. When these blackout curtains were used with the support of thermal screens, they
aided in the maintenance of better heat distribution to crops under the screen too.
Usage of blackout curtain in the present day
Blackout curtain can be used as an alternative to regular curtains or as a
supplementary to already existing fabric curtains, vertical and roller blinds, cubicle blinds and screens. They can be functional and complementary to the usage of the room, be it in a home, a hotel, hospital or office
building. Apart from shading and protective purposes, the blackout curtain is also used for thermal insulation and also the prevention of condensation of plants in greenhouses, the initial use of such
covers.
Beneficial features of blackout curtain
Most of the blackout curtains available in the market today are fire retardant fabrics that can be prepared for printing or dyeing (as per
manufacturer's need) and the ones made out of polyester are arguably the best as they are naturally easy to wash and iron by higher heat. When these are used as thermal insulation or as a protective screen while viewing
movies to enhance the viewing pleasure by bringing out the best color tones in the video onscreen and reducing the reflective element of light in the room, the blackout curtains give the user the distinct advantage of substantial savings in the form of energy conservation.
