As the name implies, black-out (or sometimes known as block-out) curtains are constructed from heavy, usually dark-coloured materials or fabrics that prevent heat and light from entering or escaping a room. These are a great option for bedrooms or rooms where you want extra privacy and protection from light and heat.

Let's talk about sheer curtains, as they are amongst the most popular. Semitransparent, these curtains are preferred in rooms in which light is desired to enter. The materials used for the creation of such curtains include polyester textile voile, cotton lace and similar fabrics. You can expect sheer curtains to provide very little or absolutely no protection against direct sunlight. However, they are considered to be pretty useful by those who desire protection against UV harmful rays. Due to the fineness of the fabric, the visibility won't be affected at all. Sheer curtains are often used for privacy reasons.

Do you already have curtain rods installed at home? Will your existing rods work with your new curtain? If they will not, you will either have to replace your curtain rods to accommodate the new curtain, or buy a different curtain but keep your rods instead. On the other hand, if you find a new, beautiful curtain it can be well worth it to replace your existing wall mounts and rods.
