Expectation setting: This is a dimout fabric designed to dampen light. It is not blackout. Light reduction depends on colour choice, lining, and on-site installation.
Riddle dimout fabric overview
Riddle is a semi-plain, textured woven dimout fabric intended to coordinate with a wide variety of decorative fabrics and interior schemes. The dense weave diffuses light and is suited to contract environments where a dry linen look is required without a printed pattern.
Practical performance is designed into the range: the product description states acoustic sound absorption, and notes it can be washed at 71°C for thermal disinfection. It is also listed as meeting UK and international flame retardant standards (see specifications).
Fibre composition is stated as 100% Inherent FR Polyester, and the range is described as OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified.
Best suited for
- Contract curtains where you need a textured, semi-plain appearance with dimout performance
- Schemes requiring a broad colour choice for coordination across multiple areas
- Sites where laundering/maintenance requirements are a key part of the specification (confirm in spec tab)
Where this fits in our range
Choose Riddle when you want a textured dimout fabric with a dry linen look and a wide, contract-friendly colour palette. If you need full light exclusion, specify a blackout fabric instead. If you want maximum daylight and visibility, a sheer voile will be more appropriate.
Ordering note
Sold by the linear metre. Select your required width and enter the number of metres in the quantity field. Average roll size is circa 30m (see specifications).
Documentation
Washing guidance and certification details are available in the Specification tab for tender files and site O&M packs.
Who uses Riddle dimout FR fabric
Specified for contract curtain applications where a textured, semi-plain dimout is required for light reduction and coordination. Suitable for commercial and public-facing environments where compliance is needed, including hospitality, healthcare and education (confirm the exact standard required for your project in the specification tab).
The product description highlights acoustic sound absorption, making it a consideration where softer room acoustics are desired alongside light control.
Light control clarification
Dimout fabrics are commonly selected to reduce glare and soften daylight. Where rooms require high-performance night-time light exclusion, specify blackout lining or a blackout fabric.

Helpful staff and excellent quality and prices for fabric.Direct Fabrics staff have been really helpful in sending me fabric samples and then helping me to order when the website had an error with my chosen fabric. The fabric quality for enigma black out is brilliant and it is very light and easy to work with for my son’s campervan curtains. My order arrived very quickly which was very helpful. I have already recommended them to friends and will undoubtedly use them again.0 people found this helpful
