Custom Blockout Curtains vs Ready-Made

Ready-made blockouts come in set sizes, standard fabrics and a limited colour range. They’re a quick fix, but they almost never cover a window cleanly. Gaps at the sides and top let light in along the edges, which defeats the entire purpose of a blockout curtain.

Custom blockout curtains are made to fit your windows exactly. Every measurement accounts for the reveal, the wall space and the track position. The panel sits where it needs to and performs the way it should.

Why Shutters Australia

We manufacture every curtain in our Sydney facility and manage the full process from measurement through to installation. There’s no third-party factory, no imported stock and no flat-pack handed over at your front door.

What that means for you as a customer:

Australian-made:

Every curtain comes out of our own Sydney production facility

Factory direct:

You deal with the manufacturer directly, with no middlemen involved at any stage

Custom only:

Every order is made to your exact window measurements – we carry no ready-made stock

End-to-end service:

Our team measures, manufactures and installs, so you have one point of contact throughout

Wide fabric range:

Designer fabrics across a broad selection of textures, weights and colours

Fabric and Finish Options

Choosing a blockout fabric involves more than picking a colour. The weight, weave and backing type all affect how the curtain performs and how it looks hanging on the window. Our team walks you through every option during your free consultation, so you make a confident choice rather than a guess.

Our blockout fabric range covers a wide variety of styles to suit different rooms and interiors:

Full blockout fabrics in neutral, deep and earthy tones for maximum light control

Textured weave panels that add visual interest without compromising light-blocking performance

Linen-look blockouts for a natural, relaxed finish that still performs to a full blockout standard

Heavier panel fabrics that increase insulation and sound absorption beyond the standard range

Every order is cut to your exact window size. There are no standard lengths or off-the-shelf panels in our range.

Features That Lift Performance and Convenience

The track configuration and optional features you choose shape how your blockout curtains work every day. Shutters Australia offers several setups designed to suit different rooms and lifestyles.

Double-Track Systems and Sheer Combinations

A double-track system lets you run a sheer and a blockout on the same window, each operating on its own track. During the day, you draw the sheer for filtered light and privacy. At night, you pull the blockout across for complete darkness and full coverage. This combination is our most popular bedroom and living room setup.

Motorised Blockout Curtains

Motorised curtains can be operated by remote control or connected to a smart home system for automated scheduling. They’re a practical choice for large or high windows, and for clients who want home automation to handle the small daily tasks. Our team adds motorisation to most of our track configurations without major disruption to your home.

Custom Track and Ceiling-Mount Options

We install ceiling-mounted tracks across our full curtain range. Drawing a curtain from the highest point improves light-blocking coverage and gives the room a more finished look overall. We also cut custom track lengths to suit unusual window shapes, large bay windows and corner configurations.

Where Blockout Curtains Make the Most Difference

Blockout curtains suit any room where light control, privacy or comfort is a priority. Some spaces benefit more than others depending on how they’re used throughout the day.

Bedrooms: The most common application. Full darkness supports healthy sleep patterns and gives complete privacy through the night.

Nurseries and children’s rooms: Consistent darkness during the day helps young children sleep through nap times and early mornings without disruption.

Media rooms and home theatres: A full blockout removes ambient light from the screen area, which makes a real difference to the viewing experience.

Living rooms: Paired with a sheer on a double track, blockouts give you complete flexibility from filtered daytime light to full evening privacy.

Shift workers’ bedrooms: A properly fitted blockout makes daytime sleep possible, regardless of what’s happening outside.

How the Process Works

Every blockout curtain job follows a clear, well-managed process from first contact through to the finished installation. Our team handles the details so you don’t have to.

Step 1 – Book Your Free Measure and Quote

Contact us to arrange a home visit at a time that suits your schedule. There’s no cost and no obligation. Our team comes directly to you, so you don’t need to take any measurements or prepare anything before the appointment.

Step 2 – In-Home Measure and Fabric Consultation

Our specialist measures every window accurately and shows you fabric and track options in person. Seeing the fabrics in your own home’s light helps you choose the right colour, weight and finish with confidence.

Step 3 – Confirm Your Order and Features

Once you’re satisfied with your selections, we lock in your fabric, track type, and any optional features, such as motorisation. We give you a clear timeline before production starts, so you know exactly what to expect and when.

Step 4 – Manufacturing in Sydney

Your curtains go into production at our Sydney facility. We manufacture everything in-house, so we control the quality at every stage. There are no offshore delays or third-party production timelines to manage around.

Step 5 – Professional Installation at Your Home

Our installation team fits everything correctly and checks the hang, coverage and edge seal before they leave. Every curtain performs the way it should from the day we finish the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between room darkening and full blockout curtains?

Room-darkening curtains reduce most incoming light but still allow a small amount to pass through the fabric. Full blockout curtains are rated to block 99% or more of light. We supply full blockout fabrics as standard, so your room stays completely dark rather than just partially darkened.

Do blockout curtains actually help with insulation and energy costs?

Yes. The weight and backing of a blockout fabric reduce heat transfer through the window. Rooms stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This reduces the load on your heating and cooling system, resulting in lower energy use over time.

Can I use blockout curtains with sheer curtains on the same window?

Yes. Our double-track system lets you run both on the same window independently. The sheer handles daytime light filtering. The blockout gives you complete privacy and darkness at night. This is the most popular configuration in bedrooms across our installs.

Are your blockout curtains made in Australia?

Yes. Every curtain is manufactured in our Sydney facility. We’re factory-direct, which means you deal with the people who make your curtains from start to finish, with no third party involved at any stage.

Do you offer motorised options for blockout curtains?

Yes. We offer motorisation across most of our curtain and track configurations. Motorised systems operate by remote control or connect to a compatible smart home setup. They work particularly well in bedrooms and rooms with large or difficult-to-reach windows.

Do I need to take measurements before booking a consultation?

No. Our specialist performs all measurements during the home visit. You just need to be home. We take care of everything from the measurements through to the final installation, so there’s nothing technical for you to work through on your own.
