Made to measure, to the cm
How to choose your size
How to choose your size
Two measurements are all you need: the width of the opening and the height. Standard sizes or made to measure, down to the centimetre.
The width of the opening
Measure your window from edge to edge. Fit the rod 15 cm above and extend it 15 to 20 cm on each side: the window looks larger and the light is freed up. Order a curtain width of 2 to 2.5 times the width of the window: the full folds dress the room and trap air, which strengthens both sound and thermal insulation.
The height
Measure from the top of the rod down to the floor. The curtains should just brush the floor, or fall 1 to 2 cm onto it for a softer, gentle break. Avoid letting them stop above the floor: the room looks smaller and draughts get through.
Exact-Fit guarantee. A measuring mistake within 30 days, and we remake your curtain free of charge. Order without fear of getting it wrong.
How does blackout work?
How does blackout work?
A single curtain, three technical layers sewn together. Each has a measured role.
- The decorative face. A plain technical linen, with the drape of a heavy curtain. It dresses the window. The technology stays invisible.
- The blackout membrane. It blocks 100% of light and UV rays. You sleep in broad daylight, and your furniture no longer fades in the sun.
- The high-density technical backing. It insulates by up to 7°C: heat stays out in summer, in during winter, and your energy bill drops. It also attenuates outside noise by up to -22 dB: the street goes quiet.
Assembled, these three layers reach 620 g/m². It is this weight that gives the drape and carries all three functions.

Your questions.
Is it really 100% blackout?
Yes. The fabric blocks 100% of visible light and UV rays in a single 310 g/m² layer. For complete darkness with no leakage at the sides, the made-to-measure option lets you cover the entire window.
I'm worried about getting my measurements wrong.
Our 3-step measuring guide helps you choose the right standard size or enter your own dimensions. And the Kurtens Exact-Fit Guarantee (€29.90) covers free remanufacturing if you chose made-to-measure.

4 heading types available: eyelets, pencil pleat, rod clips and tabs. Check our heading guide to identify your rod.

How do I wash it?

Can I return it?

Description
Anthracite grey plunges the room into complete darkness and sets a graphic frame. A deep, matte dark grey that structures the window and blocks 100% of light in a single layer.
Total blackout without lining
Where most blackout curtains add a lining to achieve darkness, anthracite does it on its own. A single fabric stops all light and 100% of UV. The result: a slim curtain with a clean drape, without the bulk or weight of a lined model. Woven identically on both sides, it stays as refined seen from the street as from inside.
For bedrooms, offices and home cinemas
Anthracite grey holds the dark in an adult or teen bedroom, shields an office from screen glare and creates the darkness of a home cinema corner. Its dark shade absorbs stray light better than a light shade.
Made-to-measure, to your exact dimensions
Available in standard sizes or made to your exact measurements, with no limit on width or height, from a bedroom window to a 3-metre patio door. To cut any halo on the sides, plan the curtain wider than the window, overlapping 15 to 20 cm on each side, with the rod 10 to 15 cm above the frame.
Headings and pairings
Four headings: 40 mm eyelets, pencil pleat, rod pocket or multifunctional. Anthracite pairs with concrete, matte black metal, dark wood and contemporary or industrial interiors.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an opaque curtain and a blackout curtain?
An opaque curtain reduces brightness without removing it. A blackout curtain blocks it 100%, like this single-layer anthracite.
Do you need a lining for complete blackout?
No. This curtain achieves total darkness in a single layer, without added lining.
Does anthracite grey keep the room cooler?
It blocks 100% of UV and direct sun, which limits the room overheating during the day.
