- Sheers provide a daytime privacy screen and softly filter the sunlight. They offer an elegant and practical solution for larger windows in the home or office.
- Sheers have the potential to dress up a room with an elevated sense of luxury and style.

Block Out Curtains

with functionality
Why install Curtains?
Curtains play a crucial role in both enhancing the aesthetic appeal and functionality of living spaces, offering versatility and practical benefits such as sunlight blocking, privacy, and insulation.
- Whether you aim to block the morning sun for Sunday sleep-ins or create a simple and stylish room separation, the right choice of curtains are necessary.
- Additionally, considering thermal insulated curtains can be a smart choice for those looking to retain warmth during the colder months. These curtains use thermal insulation to help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal.
Curtains Provide Protection from Harsh Weather and Offer Privacy
Installing curtains serves the primary purpose of adding insulation to your windows.
- Blockout curtains, in particular, help keep rooms cooler by reducing light entering through glass, while also preventing heat from escaping in colder seasons.
- Enhance your bedroom or living room with curtains for additional privacy, reduced glare, and better light control.
- Sheer curtains are ideal for common living spaces, allowing ample natural light while safeguarding furnishings from sun damage.
Broad selection of Curtains to Choose From
At d&r blinds we have a broad selection of curtains to meet diverse customer preferences in a variety of styles, sizes, and colours.
- The made-to-measure curtain collection features soft, textured fabrics, designer patterns, and in-house innovations, offering classic couture and contemporary chic in a spectrum of colors and styles.

Sheer curtains are made from a delicate transparent and lightweight sheer fabric that acts more like a sunlight diffuser than a sunlight blocker. The sheers will soften the sunlight and reduce its harsh glare.
It doesn't have the same thermal insulation benefit that you will find with more heavier fabrics such as blockout curtains.
Sheer curtains can be cleaned by hand-washing them in cold water with a mild detergent. Be sure to avoid scrubbing the fabric too hard, or it may become damaged. Rinse the curtains well and air-dry them away from direct sunlight. If necessary, you may also use a steamer to remove any wrinkles or creases in the fabric.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best curtains for your windows will depend on a variety of factors including the size and shape of your windows, the type of light that comes into your home, and your personal taste.
If you want to let in more natural light, opt for sheer curtains or window treatments that allow light to pass through. If you want to block out sunlight, create insulation or maintain a private space in your home, choose thick curtains with a blockout backing to provide more insulation.
It’s also important to consider the style of curtains that will complement your décor. Curtains can bring something to the room which may be lacking - whether that’s warmth, light control, privacy or bringing a touch of elegance to the room.
Various curtain fabrics, colours and lengths also need to be considered. A popular choice right now is to pair heavier curtains with sheers to provide day and nighttime privacy, temperature control, and filtered light in the room during the daytime.
