How this shade behaves on a window
Drawn, this reads as a deliberate block of colour — the curtain becomes part of the room rather than disappearing into the wall. It hides marks and handling better than anything lighter, which is worth having on a curtain that gets drawn twice a day. The cool cast stops it drifting yellow over time and sits comfortably alongside grey flooring and white paintwork.
For a home cinema a deep matt blackout is the correct specification, because a pale curtain bounces screen light back into the room and lifts the black level. Ceiling track, generous centre overlap, fitted wide of the reveal. This book is light enough to motorise cheaply, which suits a room you will darken on a remote.
Where it sits in the book
Ranked by lightness it is the 1st of 20 — among the deeper shades. Closest to it are Dark Gray and Dark Gray B, worth comparing side by side if you are undecided.
Rooms and layering
At home in bedrooms and media rooms, and in a formal majlis where the curtain should look like a decision rather than a default.
Where a second layer is wanted, the chiffon sheers in catalogue 401 go in front of this. Against a blackout this deep, a pale sheer gives the crispest result and keeps the room feeling light when the blackout is stacked away.
Looking after it
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 303 is jacquard: the pattern is woven into the cloth rather than printed onto it, so it holds its colour and cannot crack or peel with cleaning. It is the dressier of the three blackout books. Every shade in the book is the same price, and our team brings the physical Book 303 to your home free so you can judge it against your own glass.

What else should I know before ordering Charcoal?
For a home cinema a deep matt blackout is the correct specification, because a pale curtain bounces screen light back into the room and lifts the black level. Ceiling track, generous centre overlap, fitted wide of the reveal. The team covers details like this at the measuring visit; see how it works at Pak Middle East.
Which heading suits Charcoal?
For Charcoal: at 260 gsm it takes a wave heading with less effort than the heavier books, and gives a softer pinch pleat that falls a little more. The team can show both on the visit. Compare at Pak Middle East.
Can Charcoal be made as wave curtains?
Yes. Charcoal (303-20) works on a corded wave track, from AED 785 for a 2m × 3m window, fitted, with the wave track included. See wave blackout curtains at Pak Middle East.
Can I get Charcoal roman blinds?
Yes. Charcoal can be the face fabric of a blackout roman blind, with a blackout lining sewn behind it, from AED 1,130 for 2m × 3m, fitted; it suits narrow windows where a curtain can't stack. See blackout romans at Pak Middle East.
Can Charcoal curtains be motorised?
Yes. Charcoal is 260 gsm like the rest of book 303: at 260 gsm a standard rechargeable tubular motor handles a full-height pair on an ordinary window without difficulty. Motorisation is quoted separately per window. See motorised curtains at Pak Middle East.
Does Charcoal cost more than other colours?
No. Charcoal costs the same as the other 19 shades in book 303; only the colour changes. Compare the four books at Pak Middle East.
Will Charcoal fade in the UAE sun?
Charcoal will fade slowly like any fabric in Gulf sun; the polyester third of the blend carries the fade resistance; linen and cotton alone would lighten faster on west-facing glass. Deeper shades absorb more heat into the cloth itself, though it doesn't reach the room behind a closed curtain. Fading over years isn't a warranty defect; read the terms at Pak Middle East.
Will Charcoal curtains help keep the room cool?
Yes, when Charcoal (303-20) is closed before the sun reaches the glass, since a full-density blackout stops direct solar gain. Being a deep shade, the cloth itself warms on a hot elevation, but that heat doesn't reach the room behind it. On west-facing rooms a motorised timer makes sure it's closed in time. See motorised options at Pak Middle East.
Can I order Charcoal curtains for a whole apartment or villa?
Yes. Ordering every Charcoal window together keeps them on one 303-20 dye lot from stock, so every room matches exactly; the volume discount also applies automatically, 5% from AED 2,000 up to 30% above AED 12,000. Plan it with Pak Middle East.
Can I get Charcoal curtains in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi or the northern emirates?
Yes. Charcoal (303-20) is made and fitted across all seven emirates at the same price, with no delivery fee or travel charge for the visit. Check your area at Pak Middle East.
Can I buy Charcoal fabric by the roll?
For the trade, yes: Pak Middle East General Trading LLC supplies book 303 on 320 cm rolls. Ask about 303-20 quantities and trade pricing via Pak Middle East.
What's the difference between Charcoal and Dark Gray B?
Same fabric, weight and price; the difference is tone and depth, which is easiest to judge with both held against your window. Charcoal sits 1st of 20 from the deepest end. Compare them in the book at Pak Middle East.
Is Charcoal suitable for an office or hotel?
Yes. Charcoal works for clinics, offices and meeting rooms that need darkness, and holding 303-20 in stock keeps a multi-room project on one dye lot. Discuss a project via Pak Middle East.
Do Charcoal curtains come with a warranty?
Yes. Charcoal curtains get the standard 12 months on track, stitching and installation, and the 303-20 fabric is covered against manufacturing defects. Incorrect washing isn't covered, so follow the care advice for book 303. Ask about cover via Pak Middle East.

Charcoal — Home cinema, and why pale is wrong
For a media room a deep matt blackout is the correct specification, because a pale curtain bounces screen light back into the room and lifts the black level on the picture.
Ceiling track, a generous centre overlap and fitting wide of the reveal complete it. This book is light enough to motorise cheaply, which suits a room you will darken from a remote rather than by walking to the window.
