What are layered curtains?
Layered curtains are two curtains hung together on a double track at the same window: a light, unlined sheer and a lined blackout. Each moves independently, so you can draw one, both or neither depending on the time of day and how much light, privacy or darkness you want.
This set-up solves the most common Dubai window problem. You want the light and the view during the day, but you also need a dark, private room at night or during the hottest afternoon hours. Rather than choosing between a sheer and a blackout, you get both, made to match and fitted together on one visit.
Heading styles
Types of Layered Curtains (Sheer + Blackout)
The heading is how the curtain hangs from the track or rod. It changes the look of the folds, and how much space the curtain takes when open.
Wave
Layered wave curtains put a sheer and a blackout on a double track, both falling in matching, even S-folds. You get soft daylight by day and darkness at night with one calm, modern line.
Best for: Bedrooms and living rooms with a view
About wave curtains
Eyelet
Layered eyelet curtains hang a sheer and a blackout on a double rod, each sliding on its own metal rings. Deep, rounded folds give a relaxed, contemporary look where a wall-fixed rod suits the window.
Best for: Contemporary rooms with a wall-fixed rod
About eyelet curtains
Hook / Pinch Pleat
Layered hook or pinch pleat curtains, our American pleat, pair a pleated sheer and a pleated blackout on a double track. The tailored headings give the window a dressed, classic finish for formal rooms and villas.
Best for: Formal rooms, majlis areas and villas

Benefits
Why Choose Layered Curtains (Sheer + Blackout)
Soft daylight by day
Leave the sheer drawn to take the glare off and keep daytime privacy while the room stays bright.
Darkness when you need it
Draw the lined blackout for sleep, naps, films or the hottest part of a Dubai afternoon.
Privacy after dark
The blackout layer closes the night-time gap a sheer leaves when your lights are on and the neighbours are close.
A finished, hotel-style look
Two layers in coordinating fabrics give the window depth and frame it in a way a single curtain cannot.
One quotation, one fitting
Both curtains, the double track and installation come on a single written quotation and go up on the same day.

Sheer, blackout or layered: which do you need?
Choose layered if a room needs both daylight and darkness, and a single type only if one job clearly dominates. A simple test is to ask how you use the room at 2 pm and at 2 am.
- Sheer only: bright living areas with no facing neighbours and no need for darkness
- Blackout only: bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms where daylight is rarely wanted
- Layered: bedrooms with a view, living rooms facing other towers, and any room used day and night
How do layered curtains work day to day?
Layered curtains work as two separate curtains on one double track. In the morning you draw the blackout back and leave the sheer across the glass for privacy and soft light. If the afternoon sun hits that side, you close the blackout to keep the heat down. At night, both can be closed.
Because each layer is independent, you are never stuck with an all-or-nothing choice. With motorized tracks, the curtains can also open and close on a schedule, so the room is ready before you get home.
How do you choose fabrics for layered curtains?
Choose the blackout fabric first, because it carries most of the colour and character of the room, then pick a sheer that sits quietly alongside it. Matching tones give a calm look; a contrast frames the window more boldly. The consultant brings samples so you can hold the two layers together in your own light.

Questions
Layered Curtains (Sheer + Blackout): Your Questions Answered
Anything else, ask us on WhatsApp.
How much do layered curtains cost in Dubai?
Layered curtains cost AED 1,680 with an American pleat heading or AED 2,230 with a wave heading, for a 300 × 300 cm window. The price covers both curtains, the double track, installation by our own team and 5% VAT. A free home visit gives you an exact written quotation.
What is a double curtain track?
A double curtain track is a single fitting with two parallel channels, so a sheer and a blackout can hang at the same window and move independently. It is included in the price of layered curtains and installed by our own team, so you do not need to source or fit a track yourself.
Are layered curtains good for bedrooms in Dubai?
Yes, they are the most practical choice for many Dubai bedrooms. The sheer keeps the room bright and private during the day, and the blackout gives you a dark room for sleep, including after the early summer sunrise. They suit high-rise bedrooms that face other towers particularly well.
Do layered curtains help keep rooms cool?
Yes, the blackout layer reduces heat from direct sun when it is drawn, while the sheer softens glare when you want light. Closing the blackout on sunny windows during the hottest hours, and leaving just the sheer across at other times, balances comfort and daylight.
How long does it take to get layered curtains installed?
Delivery is estimated at 2-4 days after you approve the quotation, and both layers are installed by our own team on the day of delivery. The double track goes up at the same time, so the whole window is finished in one visit.
How does the free home visit work?
A consultant comes to your home with sheer and blackout fabric samples, measures every window and gives you one written quotation, at no charge and with no obligation. It is the easiest way to see how two fabrics look together in your own light before you commit.
Can layered curtains be fitted in a rented home without drilling?
In most cases, yes. Drill-free fixings are possible for many rented homes, and the consultant will recommend fixings that suit your tenancy. A double track carries two curtains, so the right fixing is confirmed at the window during the home visit.
Should I choose Wave or American pleat for layered curtains?
Choose Wave if you want both layers to fall in matching, even S-folds, which suits modern apartments. Choose American pleat for pinch-pleated folds and a more tailored, traditional finish. The free home visit gives you a written quotation for either.
Can I mix different fabrics for the two layers?
Yes. The sheer and the blackout are chosen separately, so you can match tones for a calm look or contrast them, for example a pale linen-look sheer with a deeper velvet blackout. The consultant brings samples to the home visit so you can see both layers together.
Can layered curtains be motorized?
Yes. Motorization is a flat add-on of AED 1,000 per track and includes the motor, power supply and wiring, pairing to a remote and the phone app, and fitting on the same visit. Your consultant will confirm how your double track is set up, and a mains-powered motor needs a nearby power point.
