How much light does a filter curtain let through?

A filtering curtain lets light in while reducing glare. An expert guide explains that this type of curtain “dims the light” to keep a room bright while avoiding reflections. The fabric filters rays and protects from prying eyes, making it an ideal choice for living rooms or dining rooms where you want to enjoy daylight while maintaining privacy.

On a comparison table, the filtering curtain is classified by offering reduction of glare and strong protection against prying eyes, unlike the sheer curtain which allows a lot of light to pass through or the blackout curtain which completely blocks the light.

What is the difference between a filtering, blackout and darkening curtain?

The three terms refer to different levels of occultation. The filtering curtain filters the light: it lets in brightness without dazzling you and protects from prying eyes. The blackout curtain blocks light thanks to its thick fabric; it creates total darkness and improves insulation, which is ideal for bedrooms.

Between the two, the blackout curtain (or semi-occultating) has an intermediate occultation rate: a technical guide specifies that it blocks approximately 75-85% light (or up to 90% for dark colors), while a dark blackout curtain blocks 90-100% and that a “total blackout” curtain achieves 100 %, whatever the color. Your choice will therefore depend on the degree of darkness desired and the room concerned.

How to choose the color of a filtering curtain according to the atmosphere of the room?

Color strongly influences the perception of space and brightness. A Castorama guide recommends light colors to visually enlarge the room and maximize light. The dark shades They bring a touch of sophistication and are better suited to already bright rooms.

For a natural or cozy atmosphere, cotton or linen curtains in neutral or pastel tones provide soft, warm light. South-facing rooms lend themselves to light colors to maintain brightness, while Nordic rooms can accommodate deeper tones to enhance warmth and comfort.

Is it useful to add a liner to a shaded curtain to filter more light?

Yes, if you want more darkness or insulation. Madura explains that adding a lining behind a lightweight curtain transforms it into a blackout curtain. The lining also improves thermal and sound insulation by providing a barrier to the cold and reflecting heat in summer. It protects curtains from UV rays and discoloration, thus extending their lifespan, especially for natural fabrics such as linen. Finally, a lining weighs down a light curtain, giving a more pronounced drape and highlighting the patterns. It is therefore not obligatory, but it is a plus for bedrooms or rooms facing south.

Do natural materials (linen, cotton, velvet) offer the same luminous effect in a subdued version?

No, each material diffuses light differently. The linen is a natural and airy fabric that lets light pass through and adds an authentic touch. The cotton, especially in gauze, gives a matte and slightly wrinkled appearance which diffuses a soft light and creates a cozy atmosphere. The velvet, thicker and insulating, further attenuates the light and creates a more intimate atmosphere; in a dimming version, it reduces brightness while offering a luxurious finish. We recommend using thick fabrics such as velvet or blackout materials in north-facing rooms to reinforce insulation, while south-facing rooms benefit more from light fabrics such as linen or cotton which allow light to pass through while preserving privacy.
