Layered linen bedding and curtains in a bedroom

Curtains & drapery

Blackout curtains, 100% light block.

Bedrooms, home theaters, nurseries, and sleep rooms need real light-blocking, not the "room-darkening" half-measure stock curtains deliver. Crateworks supplies custom blackout curtains with triple- weave blackout lining or fully blackout-rated fabric, sized to the window for true edge-to-edge light block.

Triple-weave lining vs blackout-rated fabric

Triple-weave blackout lining: a separate layer behind a decorative face fabric. Blocks 99-100% of light. Lets you keep the linen-or-velvet look on the face fabric.

Blackout-rated fabric (full blackout): the face fabric itself is woven dense enough to block light. Fewer fabric choices but lighter overall. No separate lining layer.

Sized for edge-to-edge block

Stock blackout curtains leave gaps at the sides where light bleeds in. Custom sizing extends the curtain 4-8 inches past each side of the window casing and 6-12 inches above the top so the curtain panel covers the casing entirely when drawn.

For absolute light block (home theater, sensitive sleeper), wrap-around rods or ceiling-mounted tracks bring the curtain to the wall, eliminating side bleed entirely.

Common questions

Triple-weave blackout lining + properly-sized curtains + wrap-around rod or ceiling track = 100% light block. Compromises (cheaper lining, stock-size panels, wall-mount rods with gaps) drop performance to 90-95%. Spec the full system if true blackout is the goal.
Yes. The blackout lining is a separate layer behind the face fabric. You can pick linen, velvet, silk, cotton, or any decorative fabric and add blackout lining behind it. The result reads as the chosen fabric from the room side, blocks light from the window side.
Width: 4-8 inches past each side of the window casing. Height: 6-12 inches above the top of the casing, full-floor or 1 inch above the floor at the bottom. For absolute block: wrap-around rod or ceiling-mounted track brings the curtain to the wall.
Home theater rooms use the full system: blackout lining + interlining (for body) + wrap-around rod or ceiling track + side baffles to eliminate any edge bleed. Acoustic-quality fabrics (heavy velvet) also dampen reverberation in the room.
Custom blackout curtains run 8 to 10 weeks from approved fabric and confirmed measurements. Sample-to-approval cycle adds 2-3 weeks.
