Blinds: Dimout & Blackout

The transparency of modern architecture opens the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces, bringing more light into rooms.

At the same time, this style of construction has increasingly demanding requirements for effective light, heat and sun protection. Especially in summer, an increasing number of buildings are therefore looking for customized shading solutions. Adapting to these requirements, DOMA KALE' now offers a new and varied range of darkening fabrics, the so-called dim-out and blackout fabrics.

Blackout fabrics are fabrics that guarantee one hundred percent darkness at any time of the day, since their fabric is not permeable to light. This is achieved by adding a special acrylic coating, applied several times, to the back of the fabric.

Dim-outs, on the other hand, are made up of three layers woven onto a thick black chain. They then have a black core, which blocks about 97-99% of the light.

Textile dimouts have a softer hand than blackouts.

The range of applications for blackout fabrics is diverse: in private homes, they are often used in children's rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms to protect against light, sun and prying eyes. In the living room, blackout fabrics can also be used to create the perfect lighting for the TV and home cinema. In kindergartens, they create dark conditions for afternoon naps and are often chosen in flame-retardant versions for safety reasons. These materials are also used in public buildings such as hotels, spas and hospitals; in the catering industry; in conference centers, meeting rooms, as wall coverings and partitions on exhibition stands, as well as to ensure anti-glare computer screens in the workplace.

For these purposes, we offer a wide range of certified flame retardant blackout fabrics.

The DOMA KALE' collection by dim-out/blackout offers fabrics with a varied range of designs and features.

The surface can be slightly textured or uniformly smooth; naturally matte, silky or glossy; boast an elegant solid color or prints. There is a blackout fabric to suit the creative style of every interior.
