Custom Made Blockout Curtains
Custom blockout curtains for Gold Coast homes
Custom blockout curtains give Gold Coast bedrooms, living areas and media rooms stronger privacy and useful room darkening. We help you compare fabric colour, texture and opacity in the room where the curtains will hang.
The result depends on more than fabric alone. Curtain fullness, track position, overlap, returns and the gap at the floor all affect how much light reaches the room.
Our mobile showroom brings samples to your home. We measure the opening, plan the heading, track and stack, then prepare a clear quote for manufacture and professional installation.

Blockout Curtain Benefits
Opaque fabric gives the room stronger coverage while a full-length curtain adds softness around the window.
Darker rooms
Blockout fabric greatly reduces outside light for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms without promising a completely light-proof room.
Thermal comfort
A lined, full curtain adds another layer between the room and glass. Results vary with the window, fabric and finished fit.
Fit and Performance
Fabric opacity matters, but the installation details determine how the curtain sits and performs.
Track and coverage
We plan the top and side coverage to limit obvious light gaps and give the closed curtains a clean finish.
Layered curtains
Pair blockout curtains with sheers for filtered daylight, then close the blockout layer for stronger privacy after dark.
Softer acoustics
Full curtains add soft material that may reduce echo. They are not a substitute for acoustic glazing or soundproofing.

Curtain Fabric, Track and Fit
Choose the fabric and installation details together so the finished curtain suits the room, opening and level of light control you need.
01
Blackout or room darkening?
Blockout describes an opaque fabric, while the installed result is usually best described as room darkening. Light can still enter around the top, sides or floor gap, so we plan the track, curtain fullness, overlap and returns around the level of darkness you want.
02
Blockout curtains for bedrooms
Bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms often benefit from stronger privacy and reduced morning or afternoon light. We assess the window, track position and likely edge gaps so you understand the expected result before ordering.
03
Measure the curtain and track together
For made-to-measure blockout curtains on the Gold Coast, we measure the span and drop, discuss the heading and track, and plan where the curtains stack when open. Your approved curtains are then made and professionally installed.

Blockout curtain FAQs
Practical answers about blackout wording, room darkening, measuring, layering and fabric choice.
Where can I compare blockout curtains near me?
GCBC brings blockout curtain samples to homes and apartments across the Gold Coast, so you can compare colour, texture and opacity in your own room before ordering.
Are blackout curtains and blockout curtains the same?
The terms are often used for the same type of opaque curtain fabric. In Australia, blockout is common wording. The finished installation is usually room darkening because some light may remain around the edges.
Will blockout curtains make a bedroom completely dark?
They can greatly reduce incoming light, but complete darkness cannot be promised from fabric alone. Track position, wall and floor gaps, curtain overlap and returns all affect the finished result.
How are custom blockout curtains measured?
We measure the width and drop, then plan curtain fullness, heading, track position, overlap, returns, floor clearance and the stack when the curtains are open.
Can I layer blockout and sheer curtains?
Yes. A blockout layer provides stronger privacy and room darkening, while sheer curtains filter daylight when the blockout layer is open.
Where can I view blockout curtain fabrics?
