Cotton/polyester, 1.37m wide, order in full metres


Weight is 270 grams per square metre.


Any darkroom, whether permanent or temporary, needs to be 'blacked-out'. You can do this cheaply by using lightproof heavy gauge plastic material. This plastic material is like a three-ply 'bin-liner' type.


However, our cotton/polyester material that we sell as an alternative has proved extremely popular. This white material from the USA has the advantage over black plastic in that it lasts longer, can be used as a liner to existing curtains, or can be made into long separate curtains or blinds. In our own darkroom, we have used the fabric as a liner to Roman blinds and over the door, we roll it up and tie it with tape.


The material is white on one side and cream on the other. We suggest you use with white facing into the room and the rubberised cream side facing the window. It fixes quickly and easily to window surrounds using 2-part Velcro - one-half sewn onto the material the other stuck to the wall or frame.

Emma ★★★★★

Ordered exactly 3 metres for a temporary darkroom setup — the 1.37m width is generous enough to cover a standard window without awkward seams. Fabric blocks every bit of light when layered properly, and the 270gsm weight feels substantial without being too stiff.

Henry Y. ★★★★★

The cotton-poly blend at 270gsm feels substantial, and the 1.37m width made cutting panels for my temporary darkroom straightforward. Hung it over a window with just clips, and no light bleed through the seams. Exactly the cheap blackout solution I needed.

Chloe ★★★★★

I was a bit worried about how thick 'black-out' fabric would feel, but at 270gsm it's substantial without being stiff and the 1.37m width made cutting a single piece for my window really easy. It's completely blocked out the afternoon sun in my makeshift darkroom.
