Blockout Curtains Geelong
The Brax Blockout Curtains
“I often opt for a neutral palette with my blinds so that I can change up the decoratives seasonally. If you do it right the first time with quality locally made blinds like those from Brax, you will only have to do it once! ”

The Brax Blockout Curtains
Blockout curtains are heavy-duty draperies designed to keep light, heat, and prying eyes out of a room. Their fabric has an opaque backing or tight weave that blocks virtually all daylight. Pull them closed for total darkness – perfect for home cinemas, bedrooms or nurseries where you want to sleep in or reduce screen glare. At the same time, they give a sense of privacy and seclusion.
Total Darkness & Privacy
A well-hung blockout curtain will make a room pitch-dark, even on a sunny day. This is excellent for people working night shifts who need to sleep in daylight, or for creating a theatre-like ambiance for movie night. Close them at night in city apartments to block streetlights, or during the day in a bedroom to keep it cool and private. Blockout curtains Geelong ensure neighbours or passers-by won’t see in.
The blockout effect comes from either a special lining (like acrylic-backed fabrics) or woven-in blockout threads. Either way, the result is an ultra-opaque curtain. Many styles include thermal backing too, which adds an extra insulation layer.
- Complete darkness: Keeps nearly 100% of light out when closed.
- Thermal insulation: Thick lining also helps keep rooms warm in winter and cool in summer.
- Noise reduction: The heavy fabric dampens sound from outside.
- Luxury look: Provides a sumptuous, rich finish to windows.
- Suited to bedrooms: Ideal for nurseries, media rooms and master suites.
Stylish & Functional
Today’s blockout curtains come in all sorts of textures, colours and patterns. Choose a dark velvet for a dramatic effect, or a neutral heavy linen for a softer look. Some blockout fabrics are flame-retardant and hypoallergenic, adding safety and comfort.
For versatility, many people use double tracks: a sheer curtain at the front for daytime light control, and a blockout curtain behind for night. When you want full light, the sheers can be drawn alone to diffuse sun.
Brax’s blockout curtains are custom-made to fit your windows perfectly, with options like pelmets or valances to hide the curtain box.
Year-Round Comfort
In Australian summers, blocking the sun’s heat can save on air-conditioning. In winter, a thick curtain keeps chill off the walls and floor. This makes blockout curtains an energy-smart choice. Plus, the dark lining means colors and prints pop and fabrics last longer (since they’re not sun-faded on the room side).
Blockout Curtains Geelong combine a finished look with full function. For a restful bedroom or a media setup, they give you control over light and privacy that any family will appreciate.
