Ultimate Protection and Performance Benefits:
The Hanes Out Black lining does much more than just block sunlight. It acts as a powerful barrier that enhances the lifespan and functionality of your window coverings.
- 100 Percent Light Blockage: Achieve pitch black darkness at any time of day. This is absolutely essential for nurseries, home theaters, and shift workers who need to sleep comfortably during daylight hours.
- Thermal Insulation: The dense construction creates a highly effective thermal barrier over your windows. It keeps rooms significantly cooler in the summer by reflecting intense solar heat and retains interior warmth during the freezing winter months.
- UV Ray Protection: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will rapidly fade and degrade expensive decorative fabrics. This lining acts as a protective shield, preserving the vibrant colors and structural integrity of your primary drapery textiles.
- Noise Dampening: Adding this substantial backing layer to your curtains helps absorb ambient street noise, creating a quieter and more peaceful indoor environment.
Exceptional Drapability for Professional Results:
One common issue with inferior blackout linings is their stiff, plastic like texture. They can cause curtains to flare awkwardly at the bottom hem. Hanes has engineered the Out Black material to remain incredibly soft and supple. It folds beautifully, allowing your custom drapes and pleated curtains to hang elegantly without losing their tailored shape. This superior drapability makes it just as effective for intricate projects like balloon valances or custom roman shades. If you are building shades, be sure to pair this lining with our premium Roman Shade Hardware for a flawless operating system. We also offer a massive selection of Upholstery Supplies for building matching custom cornices and pelmets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
1. Should I choose the white or ivory blackout lining for my project? The choice between white and ivory usually depends on the exterior appearance of your home and the rules of your local homeowners association. Many neighborhoods require all window treatments to show white to the street for a uniform look. If you have no restrictions, choose the color that best matches your interior face fabric to prevent any color distortion.
2. Does the Hanes Out Black lining make the curtains feel stiff or bulky? No. Unlike older blackout materials that felt like stiff rubber, Hanes Out Black is engineered specifically for exceptional drapability. It features a soft hand that folds and pleats beautifully, allowing your curtains to hang naturally without awkward flaring at the bottom hem.
3. How much drapery can I make with a 55 yard roll? A 55 yard roll provides 165 feet of continuous lining. This is typically enough material to line multiple large window treatments for an entire living room or several bedrooms, depending on the length of your panels and the fullness of your pleats. Buying in bulk is the most cost effective choice for professional workrooms.
4. Can this blackout lining be used to make custom roman shades? Absolutely. Because it is flexible and sews easily without constantly snagging the needle, it is a highly popular choice for backing custom roman shades. It provides the necessary opacity to block the sun while maintaining the soft horizontal folds required when the shade is raised.
5. How does this drapery lining help lower my energy bills? Windows are a major source of energy loss in any home. The dense, multi pass construction of this blackout lining creates a strong thermal barrier across the glass. It prevents cold drafts from entering during the winter and blocks radiant heat from the sun during the summer, drastically reducing the daily workload on your heating and cooling systems.
