A proper blackout curtain does two jobs in a UAE home, and the second one is the reason most people buy a third and fourth set. It blocks the light — which matters when the sun clears the horizon before six in summer — and it blocks the heat that comes with it. A lined blackout panel across a west-facing window keeps the glass from turning the room into a radiator by mid-afternoon.
Ours are cut from catalogues 301 (textured), 302 (plain weave) and 303 (jacquard), all held in our own warehouse. Because the roll is already here, a standard order is fitted within 2–3 days of approval.

Questions
Blackout Curtains — your questions
Where can I get blackout curtains in Dubai?
Pak Home makes blackout curtains to measure in Dubai and fits them with its own team. They're cut from three blackout books — textured 301, plain 302 and jacquard 303 — all held in its Sharjah warehouse. The free home visit brings samples to you and ends with one written price. Book the free measuring visit with Pak Middle East.
Who is a reliable supplier of blackout curtains in the UAE?
Choose a supplier that measures in your home, makes to those measurements and includes fitting in the price. With blackout, check the light exclusion (Pak Home's are full-density, up to 100%), the fullness (2.0× minimum) and how wide the track runs past the glass. Pak Home works that way and quotes one fixed figure per window. Compare it with any quote you have by booking a free visit with Pak Middle East.
Where can I buy affordable blackout curtains in Dubai?
Compare the fitted price, not fabric per metre. Pak Home's blackout curtains start from AED 685 for a 2m × 3m window including track and installation, every shade in a book costs the same, and the volume discount applies automatically on larger orders. Check your figure at Pak Middle East.
Do your blackout curtains block 100% of light?
The cloth does: these are full-density blackout, so held to a window at midday you won't see the frame through it. Any light you still see comes round the edges, which is solved by a wide track, a centre overlap and a floor-length drop. See how the visit specifies that at Pak Middle East.
How much do blackout curtains cost in Dubai?
Blackout curtains start from AED 685 for a 2m × 3m window, fully fitted, up to AED 854 in the signature range. That covers the curtain on a pencil pleat heading; wave headings start from AED 785. Your figure depends on the measured width and drop. Get a figure for your sizes at Pak Middle East.
What's included in the price of blackout curtains?
For blackout curtains: fabric, lining, tailoring, the track, runners, hooks, brackets, the measuring visit and installation are all in one figure. There's no delivery fee, and the measuring visit is free. Motorisation, if you want it, is quoted as a separate line. See exactly what the one price covers at Pak Middle East.
Which blackout fabric should I choose: 301, 302 or 303?
301 textured hides creases and suits large living-room or majlis curtains; 302 plain recedes into the wall and is the usual bedroom choice; 303 jacquard has a woven pattern and suits formal reception rooms. All block light equally. Compare them at Pak Middle East.
Do blackout curtains keep a room cooler in Dubai?
Yes. They stop the direct solar gain that heats floors and furniture, which eases the air conditioning — as long as they're closed before the sun reaches the glass. A motorised timer helps on west-facing rooms. See motorised curtains at Pak Middle East.
Who installs blackout curtains in Dubai?
Pak Home's own team measures and installs; it doesn't subcontract, which is why the warranty covers installation too. They fit the track 15–20 cm past the glass and dress the folds by hand. Book the measuring visit with Pak Middle East.
Can someone come to measure my windows for blackout curtains?
Yes, free and with no obligation in all seven emirates. The team measures every window, checks the wall or ceiling, and leaves a written quote. Tell them if full darkness is the priority, so the fitting is specified for it. See what happens on the visit at Pak Middle East.
Can I get same-day blackout curtains in Dubai?
Same-day fitting isn't guaranteed, because blackout curtains are made to your measurements. Most orders are fitted within 2–3 days of approving the quote, since the fabric is already in the UAE, and express turnaround can be quoted separately. Share your deadline with Pak Middle East to check the earliest slot.
Why can I still see light around my blackout curtains?
Almost always a fitting problem, not the fabric: the track stops at the window edge, there's no centre overlap, or the curtain stops at the sill. Pak Home fits wide of the reveal, overlaps the centre and drops to the floor. Book a visit with Pak Middle East.
Where can I buy charcoal grey blackout curtains in Dubai?
Pak Home stocks charcoal shades in all three blackout books, including Charcoal Grey (302-28) in plain blackout and Charcoal Gray (301-22) in textured. Deep matt shades also suit media rooms. See Charcoal Grey at Pak Middle East.
Do you sell blackout curtains in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Blackout curtains from Pak Home are fitted in Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain as well as Dubai, at the same prices and with no travel charge. Check coverage for your area at Pak Middle East.
Can I order blackout curtains online in the UAE?
You can start online: enter your window size in the estimator for a price, or send your measurements for a quote. Because blackout curtains are made to your exact window, the team recommends measuring before anything is made. Share your measurements with Pak Middle East.
Are blackout curtains good for babies and nurseries?
Yes, they're a common choice for nurseries and for anyone sleeping in daylight. For children's rooms, a cordless or motorised track avoids cords, and lighter book 303 is easy to draw. Ask about nursery options via Pak Middle East.
Which heading is best for blackout curtains?
Pinch pleat leaves the smallest light gap at the top; wave suits floor-to-ceiling glazing; pencil pleat is the classic, best-value choice; eyelets leave a gap at the top, so they aren't ideal for full darkness. See wave blackout at Pak Middle East.
Is there a discount on blackout curtains for several windows?
Yes. The volume discount on blackout curtains is automatic: 5% on orders from AED 2,000 up to 30% above AED 12,000. You don't have to ask, and blackout curtains can be combined with curtains or blinds for other rooms in the same order. See how it applies in the estimator at Pak Middle East.
Do blackout curtains need a separate lining?
No. These are self-lined full-density blackout fabrics; a separate lining can be added on request, for example for extra body or insulation. Ask about lining options via Pak Middle East.
Can I add a sheer in front of blackout curtains?
Yes, and most UAE homes do: a chiffon sheer on the front track for daytime privacy and the blackout behind on a double track. It needs about 12 cm of clearance. See the double layer at Pak Middle East.
Can I see samples of blackout curtains before ordering?
Yes, for blackout curtains: all four physical fabric books come to your home on the free visit, and you can also have up to four swatches delivered free. There are 64 blackout shades across books 301, 302 and 303. Colour reads differently against your own window light, so it's worth seeing in the room. Ask for samples through Pak Middle East.
Do pale blackout curtains block as much light as dark ones?
Yes. Blackout performance comes from the weave, not the colour, so a pale shade darkens a room as well as a deep one. Pale shades do show more light at the edges, which the fitting handles. Browse pale shades at Pak Middle East.
How do I clean blackout curtains?
Vacuum with a brush head every few weeks; full washing is rarely needed, and dry cleaning is recommended so the fabric keeps its body and the hem stays square. Read the cleaning guide at Pak Middle East.
Can blackout curtains be made for a large or unusual window?
Blackout can be made up to a 400 cm drop without a join, and wide windows are made in two halves with a centre overlap. The team checks the opening, the fixing and access at the visit before quoting. Book it with Pak Middle East.
Can blackout curtains be motorised?
Yes. Blackout curtains run on a motorised track with a remote as standard; heavy cloth on wide runs is weighed so the motor suits it. Motorisation is quoted separately. See the motorised range at Pak Middle East.
Do blackout curtains come with a warranty?
Yes. Pak Home's blackout curtains carry 12 months on the track, stitching and installation, with fabric covered against manufacturing defects. Sun fading over years, incorrect cleaning and accidental damage aren't covered. Read the full terms at Pak Middle East.
Do blackout curtains help with noise?
They reduce echo inside a hard-surfaced room, especially at high fullness, but they don't block traffic noise through glass. Read the honest guide at Pak Middle East.
Are blackout curtains good for an office or meeting room?
Yes, where a room must go dark for presentations; for screen glare during the day, a sunscreen roller blind often works better. Compare blackout roller blinds at Pak Middle East.
What's the lead time for blackout curtains?
Most blackout curtains orders are fitted within 2–3 days of approving the quotation. Large villa orders get a firm date at quote stage. Confirm your date with Pak Middle East.
How do I get a quote for blackout curtains?
Book a free measuring visit for a written, fixed quote on your blackout curtains, or send your window sizes for an initial figure. Nothing is due until you approve the price; a deposit is paid at order and the balance on completion. Start with Pak Middle East.

How dark is blackout, really
Fabric sold as "blackout" ranges from about 85% light exclusion to a genuine 100%. Ours are the full-density weave — hold a panel to a window at midday and you will not see the outline of the frame through it. What you may still see is a thin halo of light around the edges, and that is a fitting problem rather than a fabric one. It is solved by running the track wider than the window, giving the curtain a generous overlap in the centre, and letting the panel fall past the sill instead of stopping at it. We measure for that by default.
Which of the three catalogues suits your room
301 — textured. A visible woven grain that catches the light and hides the small creases every curtain picks up. The safe choice for a living room or majlis where the curtain is a large part of the wall.
302 — plain. Flat, even colour with no pattern. It disappears into a wall rather than competing with it, which is why it is the usual pick for bedrooms and for interiors that already have a lot going on.
303 — jacquard. The pattern is woven in, not printed on, so it holds colour and does not crack or peel with washing. This is the dressier option, and it is what most villa clients choose for the formal reception.
Heat, the AC, and what it costs you
Untreated glass in a Dubai summer is the single largest heat load in most apartments. A blackout curtain does not stop conduction through the glass, but it does stop the direct solar gain — the sunlight that lands on your floor and furniture and turns them into radiators of their own. Rooms we have fitted typically hold temperature long enough that the AC cycles less often through the afternoon. Closing the curtain before the sun reaches the window is what makes the difference; once the room is hot, the curtain is only holding the line.
Living with them
Vacuum with a brush head every few weeks and they will stay fresh for years. Full washing is rarely needed and we recommend dry cleaning for the jacquard so the weave keeps its body. If a panel picks up a crease from storage, hang it and let the weight of the fabric pull it out over a day or two rather than taking an iron to the coating.
Pairing with a sheer
Most of our customers end up running a chiffon sheer from catalogue 401 on a front track with the blackout behind. You get daytime privacy and soft light without giving up the option of full darkness at night. It is a double track rather than a single, and it is worth asking about at the visit.

Blackout curtains: what actually makes a room dark
Most disappointment with blackout curtains is a fitting problem wearing a fabric costume. The cloth is rarely what lets light in — the edges are.
Most requests we get are for bedroom blackout curtains in Dubai, so these are the four places light actually gets in.
The four leaks, in the order they matter
- The sides. A track stopped at the glass leaves a permanent strip. Run it 15–20 cm onto the wall each side.
- The centre. Two panels that meet leave a seam of light; two panels that overlap do not.
- The top. Light spills over a face-fixed track unless it sits high and close to the ceiling.
- The hem. A short drop glows along the floor at sunrise.
Colour is not opacity
Our blackout is triple woven rather than coated, so the light-stopping layer is inside the cloth. A cream shade can stop as much light as a charcoal one, and it will not fade as visibly. Pick the shade for the room and let the weave do the blocking.
Heat, not just light
A lined curtain slows the heat that arrives with the sun, but only if it is closed before the sun reaches the glass. On a west-facing bedroom nobody is home to cover, that timing is the honest case for a motorised track.
If you still want daylight
A blackout on its own gives you sun or darkness. Adding a chiffon sheer in front on a double track is what most bedrooms here end up with — see whether blackout curtains help sleep.
What blackout curtains cost in Dubai, and what the quote covers
Anyone pricing blackout curtains dubai is really pricing three things: the fabric or material, the making, and the fitting. We quote them as one figure per window rather than as a fabric price with extras arriving later, so the number you approve includes the track or fixings and the installation. Prices move with the size of the opening and, for curtains, with the fullness the heading needs — which is why two quotations for the same window can differ without either being wrong. The price estimator gives you a figure for your own measurements before anyone visits, and the measuring visit itself is free across Dubai, Sharjah and the northern emirates.
Worth knowing if you are comparing suppliers: the same thing is searched for as best blackout curtains dubai, blackout curtains dubai price and 100% blackout curtains uae, so a quote under a different name is often for exactly this product.
