Did You Know?
Did you know…It’s easier than ever to create custom blackout drapery with J. Ennis Fabrics newest collection?
The Citadel Collection is an FR* drapery fabric with built in blackout lining. It blocks out 99.9% of light with no extra lining required! Durable enough for sunny windows as it passes AATCC 16 Level 5 UV resistance. This book features 23 skus in 4 patterns - Notable is a faux linen, Devoted is a textured solid and both Lavish and Handsome are reversible stripes…double the choice for drapes that look chic on both sides of the window!
Did you know…? Uncovered windows can cause as much as 40% of a home’s energy loss. Linings help with light control, noise control, UV, shaping of lightweight drapes and protecting your drapery fabric. Blackout drapery linings are used to prevent exterior light sources from entering a room through windows where total light control is desired.
Do you know what a 3-pass blackout is? Three different coatings or “passes” are applied to the base cloth. 3-pass blackouts are better for energy efficiency, due to the additional layer of insulating foam.
Do you know what a 2-pass blackout is? The first pass is a grey opaque black layer applied directly to the base cloth; the material then receives the finish coat of either white or ecru foam. 2-pass is an economical, lighter weight alternative to a 3-pass.
