Soundproofing -22 dB
Thermal insulation +/- 7°C
100% blackout - Total darkness
How to choose your size?
Example: 120 cm opening → 180 to 240 cm wide curtain.
Recommended minimum: 1.5× for performance. Ideal: 2× for perfect drape + maximum insulation.
For maximum blackout: extend to the floor; every centimeter of gap lets in light and drafts.
Why 1.5× to 2× the width?
Summary diagram
One curtain or two panels?
Two panels if your opening exceeds 250 cm or if you prefer to open from both sides.
Why do waves improve performance?
Folds create trapped air pockets that form an additional barrier against noise and cold. It's the same principle as double glazing; still air insulates.
How does the 3-in-1 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.

100% blackout
The central membrane blocks 100% of visible light and UV rays. No halo at the edges, no streak of daylight when you wake. You sleep until the hour you choose, even in high summer.
The street stays outside.
The high-density layer absorbs street frequencies: traffic, neighbours, building works. Up to -22 dB measured at the window. Try it: close the curtain and listen to the volume drop.
Up to 7°C difference
The three technical layers form an insulating barrier. Heat stays outside in summer, inside in winter: up to 7°C difference measured at the window. Your heating and air conditioning work less, your bill drops.

Description
Petrol blue blends blue and green in a rich, contemporary shade. Intense without being dark, it warms a room while delivering blackout, thermal insulation and acoustic comfort.
Three functions combined in a single made-to-measure or standard-size curtain
The Petrol Blue Sérénité curtain combines three functions. Thanks to its three-layer structure of 620 g/m², it blocks 100% of light, insulates against cold and heat (up to 7°C gain) and reduces noise by 22 dB.
Petrol blue: for which rooms and which uses?
Petrol blue dresses a living room or bedroom with an elegant note. It suits rooms with character and pairs with cosy atmospheres.
A curtain made to your exact dimensions
The Petrol Blue curtain is ordered in standard sizes or made to measure, to the width and height of your window. It covers the whole opening, with no light leak at the sides. Four headings to choose from: eyelets, gathering tape, rod pocket, multipurpose tape.
Styling tips and pairings
Petrol blue matches terracotta, brass and dark wood. With warm materials such as velvet, it creates an enveloping interior.
