Exposure Blackout Curtains: 23 Colour Choices (Flame Retardant, Made to Measure)

Expectation setting: The 3-pass blackout coating provides full blackout through the fabric. As with all curtains, overall room darkening will also depend on fitting, heading style and light seepage around the edges of the installation.
Note on lining: Exposure is supplied with a blackout coating and can be specified unlined. Adding a lining option can increase body and fullness to support the finished drape (see lining options and specification details in the product options/spec tab).
Overview: textured blackout curtains for contract spaces
Exposure is designed to give a contemporary, woven-look texture while remaining easy to coordinate across multiple rooms or schemes. The face fabric uses a 3-pass blackout coating to achieve complete light exclusion through the fabric, making it a strong choice for bedrooms, guest accommodation and other areas where light control is required.
Alongside blackout performance, the product page notes a stain repellent finish and thermal properties. Flame retardant compliance is specified against UK and international standards (see the Specifications section).
For specifier-led projects, care guidance and certification documentation can be referenced in the spec tab.
Where this fits in our range
Choose Exposure when you need a blackout curtain with a subtle textured, woven-look finish and broad commercial FR compliance. If you are specifying a different surface character (e.g., velvet, pattern, or a more pronounced weave), select an alternative range and keep Exposure as the coordinating blackout option.
- Bedrooms and guest rooms where blackout is required
- Hotel, hospitality and multi-room schemes needing coordination
- Spaces where a practical finish is preferred (see stain-repellent note in specs)
Who uses Exposure flame retardant blackout curtains
Commonly specified where blackout and documented flame retardant compliance are required, including hospitality and other commercial interiors. The textured, woven-look finish supports schemes that need a contemporary appearance without introducing a strong pattern.
Samples, care guidance and certification information are available in the spec tab to support approvals and contract documentation.

Further Information
Our curtain fabrics are selected and checked for quality issues and then we cut and measure everything by hand
In our UK based workrooms we continue the traditions of master curtain makers and offer the very best curtains that are British MadeSpecification
Our curtains are manufactured with various fullness's to suit our customer's requirements. For standard made to measure curtains, they are manufactured with 2x fullness also known as 100% fullness. This means that you get beautifully pleated curtains
Please see the further information section about curtain fullness
When manufacturing curtains we join widths of the curtain material to get the required width to cover your curtain track. Example a track width of 140cm in a single curtain would have circa 2 widths of material in assuming the material is 140cm wide. Widths are rounded up to the nearest full width. This means there will be a joining seam in larger curtains.
Our curtains are delivered pulled and hooked. So the curtains are pleated to your track widths and folded neatly for delivery. The hooks have been inserted so all you have to do is clip them into your track or pole.

Lining Options
All lining options from direct Fabrics are flame retardant certified to BS5867 and can be used in commercial environments.
Unlined Curtains are a good option if you are looking for a low cost option. If the fabric is dimout or blackout it will provide you with a good amount of shading for the rooms with these curtains, dimout will be 90%+ and blackout with a 3 pass coating will be 100% blackout. Obviously depending where the track is located it will depend how much light will come through.

Standard polyester fr lining is a low cost option that provides extra fullness and helps your curtains drape better. The Polyester lining can be washed at 50 times and is inherently flame retardant. It will provide additional shade on standard fabrics and on dimout and blackout fabrics it is used to add a more luxurious feel.

3 Pass blackout lining is Direct Fabrics choice for all curtains as it makes a room have no light come through the curtain. Certified to BS5867 Part2B so can be washed 10 times. The 3 pass coating is very hard wearing and provides a thermal benefit aswell as making your curtain drape better./p>

Duo Blackout Lining Fleece Flame Retardant Lining Ivory
Duo Lining Fleece Blackout Lining , a very heavy weight full lining that is an interlined option with the 3 pass blackout lining attached. The Duo lining is an excellent acoustical absorber of sound and will improve room acoustics.

This fabric is coated with a 3pass blackout coating. This means it has been sealed 3 times and to ensure that the material is totally blackout. The coating is an off white coating which reflects heat out of a window when the curtains are drawn. The 3 pass coating also adds thermal benefits with a heat retention when used over a double glazed window of 30%. Therefore your rooms will be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
