Why Choose Double Blackout Curtains for Your Melbourne Home?
Complete darkness, beautiful style, total flexibility — here’s why Melbourne homeowners choose Skyline Shades double blackout curtains:
Complete Light Elimination Our blockout curtain lining is engineered to eliminate 100% of incoming light — no light bleed through the fabric, no gaps at the sides. Ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, home theatres and shift workers who need genuine darkness during the day.
Two Curtains — One Elegant System The double curtain track combines a sheer curtain and a blockout curtain on one system — use the sheer alone during the day for soft light and privacy, draw the blockout at night for complete darkness. Two functions, one beautifully clean window solution.
Superior Thermal Insulation Heavy blockout curtains act as a powerful thermal barrier — keeping rooms cooler during Melbourne’s hot summers and significantly warmer in winter. A well-lined blockout curtain can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 40%, directly lowering energy bills.
Sound Dampening The heavy, lined fabric of blockout curtains absorbs ambient sound — reducing noise from traffic, neighbours and street activity. Particularly valuable for bedrooms on busy roads in Melbourne’s inner and middle suburbs.
Professional Installation Across Melbourne Our expert installers come to you across all Melbourne suburbs — Cranbourne, Narre Warren, Dandenong, Frankston, Pakenham, Berwick and beyond. Free measure and quote included.

Why Double Blackout Curtains Outperform Standard Blockout Curtains
Standard blockout curtains use a single layer of blockout fabric, which can fade, crack, and degrade the face fabric over time due to heat buildup between the layers. Double blackout curtains solve this with a separate lining layer that protects the face fabric, extends the curtain’s lifespan, and performs better thermally. Key advantages include:
- Superior light elimination compared to single-layer blockout fabrics
- Better thermal insulation — keeps rooms cooler in summer, warmer in winter
- Improved acoustic performance — reduces outside noise more effectively
- Longer lifespan — the lining protects the face fabric from UV degradation
- More design flexibility — choose any face fabric and pair it with a blockout lining
What Are Double Blackout Curtains?
Double blackout curtains combine two fabric layers into one curtain:
- Face fabric — your chosen decorative fabric in any colour, texture, or pattern
- Blockout lining — a dense, light-eliminating backing that prevents light penetration
The result is a curtain that looks beautiful from the front while performing as a complete blackout solution from the inside. When properly installed with a ceiling-mounted track or pelmet, double blackout curtains can eliminate virtually 100% of incoming light — making them ideal for shift workers, young children, home theatre rooms, and anyone sensitive to early morning light.
Best Uses for Double Blackout Curtains in Melbourne Homes
Bedrooms — The most popular application. Double blackout curtains are ideal for master bedrooms and guest rooms where complete darkness supports better sleep quality, particularly during Melbourne’s long summer days.
Children’s Nurseries & Kids’ Rooms — Babies and young children sleep better in complete darkness. Double blackout curtains are a popular choice for nurseries, toddler rooms, and kids’ bedrooms across Melbourne.
Home Theatres & Cinema Rooms — Total light elimination is essential for picture quality. Paired with side tracks or a pelmet, double blackout curtains can transform any room into a dedicated cinema space.
Shift Workers — For anyone sleeping during daylight hours, double blackout curtains are essential. They block early morning and afternoon light completely, supporting healthy sleep patterns regardless of work schedule.
Bedrooms Facing East or West — East-facing rooms receive intense early morning sun; west-facing rooms get harsh afternoon light. Double blackout curtains handle both scenarios effectively.
Fabric & Lining Options
At Skyline Shades, we offer a wide selection of face fabrics and blockout lining combinations:
- Sheer + blockout lining — for rooms where you want filtered light during the day and complete darkness at night, consider pairing with a double curtain track
- Velvet + blockout lining — premium aesthetic with maximum light and noise control
- Linen + blockout lining — popular natural look with full blackout performance
- Plain weave + blockout lining — clean, contemporary style suitable for any room
All fabrics are available in custom lengths from floor to ceiling, and our team will advise on the best combination for your room’s orientation, light conditions, and interior style during your in-home consultation.

Our Faq's
Here are some of the most common queries from Australian businesses and homeowners, along with simple answers to help you choose the right product.
What's the difference between blockout curtains and double blackout curtains?
Standard blockout curtains use a single layer of blockout fabric as both the decorative and functional element. Double blackout curtains use a separate decorative face fabric paired with a dedicated blockout lining — giving you more design flexibility, better performance, and a longer lifespan. The lining also protects the face fabric from UV damage and heat buildup, which is a common issue with single-layer blockout fabrics in Melbourne’s climate.
Will double blackout curtains make my room completely dark?
When properly installed with a ceiling-mounted track, pelmet, or returns, double blackout curtains can eliminate virtually all incoming light. The key is minimising light gaps at the sides, top, and bottom of the curtain. Our installation team ensures curtains are hung to maximise blackout performance — we’ll advise on the best track and hanging system for your windows during the consultation.
Can I choose any fabric for double blackout curtains?
Yes. At Skyline Shades, you choose your preferred face fabric from our range — any colour, texture, or pattern — and we pair it with a blockout lining. This means you don’t have to compromise on the look of your curtains to get blackout performance. Our team will help you select fabrics that work together well in terms of weight, drape, and appearance.
Are double blackout curtains good for Melbourne's climate?
Absolutely. Double blackout curtains perform particularly well in Melbourne’s variable climate. The additional lining layer adds thermal insulation — keeping rooms cooler during hot summers and reducing heat loss during cold winters. This can contribute to lower energy bills and more consistent room temperatures year-round.
How much do custom double blackout curtains cost in Melbourne?
The cost of custom double blackout curtains depends on window size, fabric selection, lining type, and installation requirements. As every set is made to measure, pricing is provided after a measure and quote. Contact Skyline Shades to arrange a free in-home consultation across Melbourne’s southeastern suburbs — we’ll measure your windows, walk you through fabric options, and provide a clear quote with no obligation.
