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.
Fitting outside the reveal rather than inside it is what removes the light line down the sides of a blackout curtain. Running the track 15 to 20 cm wider than the opening and dropping the curtain below the sill deals with almost all of it. For a bedroom used by a shift worker we would add side channels on top of that.
Where it sits in the book
Ranked by lightness it is the 2nd of 20 — among the deeper shades. Closest to it are Charcoal 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.
For a layered window, a chiffon sheer from catalogue 401 takes the front rail. In front of something this deep, a pale sheer reads crispest and keeps the room bright during the day once the blackout is drawn back.
Looking after it
At this depth it is dust and lint that show, not handling. A soft brush attachment used regularly matters more than it would on a pale shade. Always dry clean rather than washing, to keep the colour from lifting.
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.

As a 260 gsm blackout, Dark Gray needs simple care: at this depth it is dust and lint that show, not handling. A soft brush attachment used regularly matters more than it would on a pale shade. Always dry clean rather than washing, to keep the colour from lifting. Read the cleaning guide at Pak Middle East.
What else should I know before ordering Dark Gray?
Fitting outside the reveal rather than inside it is what removes the light line down the sides of a blackout curtain. Running the track 15 to 20 cm wider than the opening and dropping the curtain below the sill deals with almost all of it. The team covers details like this at the measuring visit; see how it works at Pak Middle East.
Which heading suits Dark Gray?
For Dark Gray: 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 Dark Gray be made as wave curtains?
Yes. Dark Gray (303-16) 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 Dark Gray roman blinds?
Yes. Dark Gray 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's a good match where a nearby window has Dark Gray curtains. See blackout romans at Pak Middle East.
Can Dark Gray curtains be motorised?
Yes. Dark Gray 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 Dark Gray cost more than other colours?
No. Dark Gray costs the same as the other 19 shades in book 303; window size and fullness set the price, not the colour. Compare the four books at Pak Middle East.
Will Dark Gray fade in the UAE sun?
Dark Gray 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 Dark Gray curtains help keep the room cool?
Yes, when Dark Gray (303-16) 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 Dark Gray curtains for a whole apartment or villa?
Yes. Ordering every Dark Gray window together keeps them on one 303-16 dye lot from stock, so the colour is consistent from room to room; 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 Dark Gray curtains in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi or the northern emirates?
Yes. Dark Gray (303-16) 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 Dark Gray fabric by the roll?
For the trade, yes: Pak Middle East General Trading LLC supplies book 303 on 320 cm rolls. Ask about 303-16 quantities and trade pricing via Pak Middle East.
What's the difference between Dark Gray 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. Dark Gray sits 2nd of 20 from the deepest end. Compare them in the book at Pak Middle East.
Is Dark Gray suitable for an office or hotel?
Yes. Dark Gray works for meeting rooms, hotel rooms and clinics that need darkness, and holding 303-16 in stock keeps a multi-room project on one dye lot. Discuss a project via Pak Middle East.
Do Dark Gray curtains come with a warranty?
Yes. Dark Gray curtains get the standard 12 months on track, stitching and installation, and the 303-16 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.

Dark Gray — Closing the edges on a blackout
Fitting outside the reveal rather than inside it is what removes the light line down the sides. Running the track 15 to 20 cm wider than the opening and dropping the curtain below the sill deals with almost all of the rest.
For a bedroom used by a shift worker we would add side channels on top of that. The cloth was never the problem — the edges are. Discuss it at the measuring visit.
