Two layers on the same opening, one sheer and one blackout, give a guest control of the light all day. Below are answers to the most common questions about combining them.
We measure, sew in our workshop and install, in Greece and abroad.
Frequently asked questions
Which layer sits closer to the glass?
The sheer. It filters the light and gives privacy by day without closing off the view.
What makes the second layer a blackout?
Either a blackout fabric or a regular fabric with a blackout lining. For full darkness the fabric has to cover the opening and run a little past its edges.
Do I need a double track?
Usually yes, so the two layers move independently. Before you choose a system, check that there is enough depth in the wall or ceiling.
How much fabric width is needed?
More than the width of the opening, to form the folds. The exact proportion depends on the fabric and the heading, which is why measuring is done on site.
How is light kept out at the edges?
With enough width, the right track position and, where needed, side overlaps.
Are two layers always needed?
No. Where darkening is not needed, one is enough. In hotel rooms two are more common.
