The second image drapes this shade's own photograph on a window to show the colour gathered into folds. It is a visualisation, not a photograph of a fitted job — and cloth backlit by your own glass reads differently again, which is why we bring the book to you.

At this depth the curtain is the darkest surface in the room when closed, and the room reads as genuinely night-time rather than merely dim. It is the strongest choice for a bedroom, a nursery, or anywhere a screen has to stay watchable in the afternoon. The cool base keeps it looking clean rather than yellow, and it sits well with grey flooring and white walls.
The cast is quiet. A blue-green undertone, which is rare in blackout ranges. It reads as calm and slightly cool, and it is a good foil for warm wood.
Ranked by lightness it is the 2nd of 22 — among the deeper shades. Closest to it are Charcoal Grey and Desert Clay Taupe, worth comparing side by side if you are undecided.
Strongest in bedrooms, nurseries and home cinemas — anywhere the priority is sleeping or watching something in daylight hours.
If you are layering, a chiffon sheer from catalogue 401 goes on the front track. Against a blackout this deep, a pale sheer gives the crispest result and keeps the room feeling light when the blackout is stacked away.
Deep colours show lint and pale dust rather than marks, so a soft brush attachment every few weeks matters more here than on a lighter shade. Dry clean rather than washing, so the depth of colour holds.
Catalogue 302 is the plain weave — flat, even colour with no pattern, which is why it recedes into a wall instead of competing with it. It is the book we specify most often for bedrooms. Every shade in the book is the same price, and our team brings the physical Book 302 to your home free so you can judge it against your own glass.
This is shade 302-26 itself, gathered into folds and lit — not a colour swatch. The other 21 shades of book 302 are beside it, so you can put Limestone Grey next to the ones it is easily confused with.
All 22 are the same fabric and the same price — only the colour changes.
Buying limestone grey blackout curtains in the UAE usually starts with the colour and ends with the fit. Limestone Grey (302-26) sits in our plain blackout book. a flat, even weave that recedes into a wall rather than drawing attention.
Dark blackout shades are the obvious choice for a bedroom that has to be properly dark, and they suit a room used for watching a screen. Dark shades show dust and lint most, so they are worth dusting more often than a mid tone. A dark curtain in direct sun absorbs more heat than a pale one, which is an argument for a sheer in front of it on a west-facing window.
Made-to-measure curtains in this shade are quoted per window rather than per panel, and the figure covers the fabric, the tailoring, the track and the fitting. Every shade in this book is held in our own UAE warehouse, which is why we quote days rather than the weeks an imported order takes. You can price your own window with the estimator before anyone visits.
Colour is the one thing a screen gets wrong. Warm afternoon light pushes a shade like this darker and flatter, and a north-facing room pulls it the other way, so the safest way to judge it as a blackout is against your own wall. The book comes to the home on the free measuring visit, alongside the other three catalogues if you want to compare.
A blackout on its own gives you sun or darkness with nothing between. Adding a chiffon sheer in front on a double track is what most bedrooms here end up with, and it protects the blackout from the daily sun.
Technically this is Limestone Grey plain blackout fabric, cut and made up to your window rather than sold by the metre — the shade is fixed, the size is not.
Collected after installation across Dubai, Sharjah and the northern emirates.
I wanted something light for the majlis that still gave privacy from the street. The chiffon does both, and it does not look cheap up close.
Motorised blinds on the high windows in the stairwell — the ones I could never reach. Set to open at seven and close at sunset. Installed cleanly with no visible wiring.
Third quote I took and the only one that included the track, the fittings and the installation in one number. Nothing was added afterwards.
Whole ground floor. The centre overlap on the blackout panels means no light gap down the middle, which was exactly my complaint about the previous curtains.
The physical catalogue makes the difference. Colours on a phone screen are meaningless — I saw eight shades side by side in my own light and picked a completely different one.
Straightforward from start to finish. The measurer wrote everything down, the quote arrived the same evening, and the final invoice matched it.
Second order with them. They still had the record of my first fabric so the new room matches the old one exactly.
They talked me out of the fabric I originally wanted because it would not hold the pleat at that drop. They were right. That kind of advice is why I have already recommended them twice.
Motorised track in the bedroom. Works well and is quieter than I expected. The remote pairing took two visits to get right, hence four stars, but they came back the same week and sorted it.
Excellent fabric and fitting. Communication in the week before the visit could have been slightly better, but the work itself is faultless.
Full villa, eleven windows. They handled it in one day with three fitters. Having their own warehouse stock clearly made the difference on the timeline.
The dressing of the pleats after hanging is what I noticed. They tied them and left them to set, then came back to release them. Nobody else offered that.
Sample content while we collect the real thing. These are written to show the layout — they are not customers, no star rating is published to Google, and they are replaced in the back office as genuine feedback arrives.
Our team brings catalogues 301, 302, 303 and 401 to your door, measures every window, and quotes one fixed price covering fabric, track, accessories and fitting. The visit is free and there is no obligation.
Leave a number and pick a window. No form-filling, no obligation.
Pick up to four and we'll drop the actual cuttings to your door, free, anywhere we cover. Colour behaves completely differently against your own window — this is the only honest way to judge it without booking anything.
