As the name suggests, triple weave curtains are made of three interwoven layers, one of which is usually a black thread to add light-filtering and insulating properties. Triple weave curtains are popular for their beautiful soft finish and lovely drape. Triple weave linings are also available to add to other fabrics for increased light-dimming and insulation.

Frequently asked questions
As the name suggests, triple weave curtains are made of three interwoven layers, one of which is usually a black thread to add light-filtering and insulating properties.
Triple weave curtains (also known as dimout curtains) do block some light, but they are not 100% blockout and will allow some light to pass through.
The tightly-woven fabric of a triple weave curtain does add some insulation to a room, but without a thermal lining added, they are not technically a thermal curtain. The insulation they provide is due to the thicker material and the tight weave, whereas a thermal curtain usually has a layer of acrylic compound to improve the insulating properties.
Both blockout and triple weave curtains will protect soft furnishings from sun fade, add some thermal insulation, and dull sound transfer. The main difference between them is that a blockout curtain blocks 100% of light while a triple weave curtain will only block between 60-80% of light. A triple weave curtain is also a woven construction, instead of a coating, making it softer and more flowy.
