Curtain Linings

Block Light and Heat with Top Quality Curtain Lining Fabrics For Your DIY Curtains

Most people pick curtains for how they look, but the lining is what makes them actually perform. Lining is the layer that turns a decorative curtain into a functional piece. At Spotlight, you can shop a wide range of curtain linings. Whether you're creating your own DIY curtains or want to update your existing window furnishings, Spotlight has curtain lining fabrics in a variety of widths and functions to suit any need! Using lengths of curtain lining is also a simple and affordable way to create temporary window coverings if you're renovating or still sourcing the right window furnishings for your home.

How Do Curtain Linings Work?

Curtain lining is a layer that you can add to your existing curtains or curtain fabric to improve the practicality of your curtains. Using curtain lining is the ideal way to add light blocking, thermal insulating, or room-darkening properties to curtains. At Spotlight, you can find blackout curtain lining, thermal curtain lining, triple weave or room darkening linings, and even uncoated curtain lining fabric for any project!

Why Clever Curtain Makers Never Skip the Lining

Using curtain lining brings about a number of benefits. Thermal linings help to add thermal insulation, keeping your space nice and cosy in the winter as well as cool and comfortable in the summer. Some linings also offer UV protection, helping to prevent fading of your flooring and furniture. Curtain linings aim to extend your curtain life by improving the drape while offering noise reduction and privacy benefits. Ultimately, curtain linings help your curtains perform better than unlined curtains.

Pair Your Curtains With the Perfect Lining Material

At Spotlight, you'll come across a few different types of curtain lining, including:

• Standard cotton sateen that adds body and drape while offering a mild level of UV protection. Sateen lining is a great option for living rooms and lounge areas where you're looking for elegant curtains to elevate your home styling.
• Thermal or 1-pass coated lining refers to where a single layer of coating is applied to the thermal lining. This lining adds insulation and helps to save energy while allowing some natural light to filter through. Ideal for bedrooms and living rooms, thermal linings are great in rooms where you want to create a cosy and comfortable space all year round. Just make sure the coated side faces the glass of your window.
• Blockout or 3-pass coated lining is where a fabric is backed by three layers of coating to fully eliminate light from filtering through. This coating also has the benefit of acting as a thermal layer. This coating is ideal for bedrooms or media rooms where you're after a little more privacy. Much like thermal curtains, make sure the coated side faces the glass of your window.
• Dimout or triple weave curtains are a type of curtain lining produced with a woven construction, offering partial light reduction. Darker dimout shades reduce more light than lighter ones. These linings are often machine washable, making them easy to clean and are good for noise reduction. This makes dimout and triple weave curtains great for kids' bedrooms.
• Interlining or bumph adds body and fullness to lightweight fabrics and improves insulation and acoustics, making this fabric ideal for media rooms and studies.
• Silicone-backed curtain linings are washable and soft to handle. Their moisture and UV resistant design ensures these linings are able to withstand placement in high-humidity spaces such as kitchens or bathrooms.
• Calico linings are made of plain cotton, adding weight to your curtains. This multi purpose lining works well in a range of rooms including home offices, living rooms and dining areas.
