Two curtains, one double track. The chiffon sheer from catalogue 401 hangs at the front and handles the daytime — glare softened, privacy kept, view intact. The blackout from 301, 302 or 303 sits behind it and closes when you want the room dark or when the afternoon sun is at its worst.
It is the single most requested set-up we fit, and once people live with it they rarely go back to a single layer.

Questions
Blackout & Sheer Double Layer — your questions
Where can I buy blackout and sheer double-layer curtains in Dubai?
Pak Home makes blackout and sheer double-layer curtains to measure in Dubai and fits them with its own team. A chiffon sheer from book 401 hangs on the front track and a blackout from book 301, 302 or 303 behind it, on one double track. The free home visit brings samples to you and ends with one written price. Start by booking a visit with Pak Middle East.
Which company makes good-quality blackout and sheer double-layer curtains in Dubai?
Choose a supplier that measures in your home, makes to those measurements and includes fitting in the price. With a layered pair, check the bracket depth and the stack-back: two curtains need about 12 cm of clearance and a track that 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.
Why do most UAE homes choose blackout and sheer together?
A single blackout gives you full sun or full dark and nothing between. A sheer in front lets you keep daylight with privacy all day, and the blackout closes at night or in the worst of the afternoon. It's Pak Home's most requested setup. Book a visit with Pak Middle East.
Where can I buy day and night curtains in Dubai?
Pak Home's blackout and sheer double layer is a day-and-night curtain: sheer for daytime, blackout for night, on one double track, from AED 1,085 for 2m × 3m, fitted. Start with a free visit booked via Pak Middle East.
How much should I pay for blackout and sheer double-layer curtains?
Blackout and sheer double-layer curtains start from AED 1,085 for a 2m × 3m window, fully fitted, up to AED 1,329 in the signature range. That's both curtains and the double track; the wave double layer starts from AED 1,285. 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 and sheer double-layer curtains?
For blackout and sheer double-layer curtains: both curtains, lining, tailoring, the double 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.
How much clearance does a double curtain track need?
About 12 cm from the wall or ceiling, so the front sheer clears the blackout behind as it draws. A shallow bulkhead may limit this, which the team checks at the visit. See double brackets at Pak Middle East.
Should the sheer and blackout match in colour?
No. The sheer is seen constantly, the blackout mostly when it's closed; a light neutral chiffon in front works with almost any blackout behind and keeps the room feeling light. Browse sheers at Pak Middle East.
Who measures and fits blackout and sheer double-layer curtains?
Pak Home's own team measures and installs; it doesn't subcontract, which is why the warranty covers installation too. The double track goes on a single deeper bracket, so it's one installation, not two. Book the measuring visit with Pak Middle East.
Can someone come to measure my windows for blackout and sheer double-layer 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. They check the clearance for a double track and plan where the two stacks will sit. See what happens on the visit at Pak Middle East.
Can I get same-day blackout and sheer double-layer curtains in Dubai?
Same-day fitting isn't guaranteed, because blackout and sheer double-layer curtains are made to your measurements. Most orders are fitted within 2–3 days of approving the quote, and express turnaround can be quoted separately. Allow a few extra days on larger layered orders. Share your deadline with Pak Middle East to check the earliest slot.
How far should a double curtain track extend past the window?
Far enough that both open stacks sit beside the glass. With two layers the stack-back is substantial; if the track stops at the glass edge, the curtains permanently cover 30–40 cm of window each side. See how measuring works at Pak Middle East.
Do two curtain layers keep a room cooler?
Yes. The two layers trap an air pocket that insulates noticeably on a west-facing window in summer, on top of the blackout blocking solar gain. See blackout fabrics at Pak Middle East.
Do you install blackout and sheer double-layer curtains in Sharjah and the other emirates?
Yes. Blackout and sheer double-layer 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 and sheer double-layer 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 and sheer double-layer curtains are made to your exact window, the team recommends measuring before anything is made. Share your measurements with Pak Middle East.
Can I open the sheer and blackout separately?
Yes. They run on separate rails of the double track, so you can draw either one on its own, by hand or with separate motors. See motorised options at Pak Middle East.
Is a double layer worth it in a bedroom?
Usually yes: the sheer keeps the room bright and private in the day, and the blackout lets you sleep past sunrise. It's the setup most bedrooms here end up with. See blackout fabrics for bedrooms at Pak Middle East.
Is there a discount on blackout and sheer double-layer curtains for several windows?
Yes. The volume discount on blackout and sheer double-layer 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 and sheer double-layer 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.
Can I add a sheer layer to my existing blackout curtains?
Often, if there's room for a double bracket and the existing track is sound; otherwise a new double track is fitted. The team checks at the visit. Book it with Pak Middle East.
Which blackout book works best behind a sheer?
Any of the three. Book 303 jacquard at 260 gsm can work as either layer; heavier books sit naturally at the back. The blackout is rarely seen fully closed in daylight, so choose for the room at night. Compare books at Pak Middle East.
Can I see samples of blackout and sheer double-layer curtains before ordering?
Yes, for blackout and sheer double-layer 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. You'll choose one sheer and one blackout. Colour reads differently against your own window light, so it's worth seeing in the room. Ask for samples through Pak Middle East.
What's the difference between this and the wave double layer?
Same two layers, different heading: this uses pencil pleat from AED 1,085; the wave version carries both layers in matched wave folds from AED 1,285 and needs about 15 cm of clearance. See the wave double layer at Pak Middle East.
Can both curtain layers be motorised?
Yes, independently: one button for the sheer, another for the blackout. It's most useful on wide or hard-to-reach windows. Motorisation is quoted separately. See motorised curtains at Pak Middle East.
Can blackout and sheer double-layer curtains be made for a large or unusual window?
Wide windows are made in halves with a centre overlap on both layers, and the track is extended so the stack doesn't cover the glass. The team checks the opening, the fixing and access at the visit before quoting. Book it with Pak Middle East.
How do I clean a double-layer curtain?
Treat each layer on its own terms: the chiffon sheer washes cold and gently and is re-hung damp; the blackout is vacuumed and dry cleaned. Read the cleaning guide at Pak Middle East.
Do blackout and sheer double-layer curtains come with a warranty?
Yes. Pak Home's blackout and sheer double-layer 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.
Does a double layer suit a living room?
Yes. In a living room the sheer is the layer you live with all day, and the blackout handles evening TV glare or the hottest afternoons. Book a visit to plan it with Pak Middle East.
Is a double layer good for privacy at night?
Yes. A sheer alone gives little privacy after dark with the lights on; closing the blackout behind it gives full privacy. See the blackout range at Pak Middle East.
What's the lead time for blackout and sheer double-layer curtains?
Most blackout and sheer double-layer curtains orders are fitted within 2–3 days of approving the quotation. Allow a few extra days on larger layered orders. 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 and sheer double-layer curtains?
Book a free measuring visit for a written, fixed quote on your blackout and sheer double-layer 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.

Why two layers beats one
A single blackout forces a choice every time you walk into the room: full sun or full dark. There is nothing in between, so in practice people leave it open and squint, or leave it shut and turn the lights on at two in the afternoon. Adding a sheer gives you the middle setting that you actually use most of the day — light in the room, glare gone, nobody seeing in.
The double track
Two curtains need two runs of track, mounted one in front of the other on a single bracket. It is not two separate installations, and it should not be priced like one. What it does mean is a slightly deeper bracket and a little more clearance from the wall or ceiling, which is worth checking before you commit — a very shallow ceiling pocket sometimes will not take a double. We check that at the measuring visit.
Getting the pairing right
The usual mistake is choosing both fabrics to match. They should not match; the sheer is seen constantly and the blackout is seen mostly when closed. A light, neutral chiffon in front will work with almost any blackout behind it, and it keeps the room feeling bright when the blackout is open and stacked at the sides. If you want the blackout to be the statement — a deep colour, or the 303 jacquard — keep the sheer plain so the two are not fighting.
Stack-back, and the mistake that eats your window
When both curtains are open they gather at the ends of the track. That bundle of fabric is called the stack-back, and with two layers it is substantial. If the track stops at the edge of the glass, your curtains will permanently cover 30–40 cm of window on each side. Running the track well past the frame — onto the wall either side — lets both layers pull completely clear of the glass. It costs a little more track and it is the difference between a room that feels open and one that does not.
Heat
The two layers trap a pocket of air between them, and that pocket is a surprisingly effective insulator. On a west-facing window in July the difference between a single blackout and a layered pair is noticeable on your hand held near the glass, and it shows up in how hard the AC has to work in the late afternoon.

Two layers on one window: how the double track works
This is the arrangement most homes here settle on, and it is worth understanding as a system rather than as two curtains that happen to share a window.
Which layer does what
The sheer sits against the glass and works all day: it diffuses glare, gives daytime privacy and takes the ultraviolet. The blackout sits behind it, stacked back and unused until the evening or the hottest part of the afternoon. Each layer is doing a job the other cannot.
What it needs from the ceiling
Two channels need depth. A shallow bulkhead sometimes cannot take a double track, which is a measuring-visit discovery and the reason it is worth checking before choosing the pairing. Where depth is tight, a wall-fixed double bracket can solve it.
Cost, honestly
You are buying two curtains and a double track, so it is close to twice the fabric. What you get back is a room that works at every hour instead of two. If the budget only stretches to one layer now, fit the double track and add the second later — retrofitting the track is the expensive half.
Stack
Two layers stack wider than one, so the hardware wants more wall each side. See tracks and rails, and blackout or sheer for which rooms justify it.
What blackout and sheer curtains cost in Dubai, and what the quote covers
Anyone pricing blackout and sheer 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. Some people search for this as double layer curtains dubai; it is the same product. 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 and sheer curtains in dubai and two layer curtain track, so a quote under a different name is often for exactly this product.
