Opaque curtains – More privacy for your rooms
Opaque curtains create a pleasant living environment with greater privacy, as they block unwanted views from the outside while still allowing daylight into the room, depending on the choice. They can be perfectly matched to the interior design and even fulfill functional requirements, such as regulating room temperature or acoustics.
At vorhangschweiz, we have the largest selection of curtains for your home in Switzerland. We offer them both as ready-made products and as custom-made curtains. You can find blackout curtains in various materials and colors at fair prices.
Opaque curtains – Optimal privacy protection for every room
An opaque curtain is a tightly woven fabric that is completely opaque, even in bright light. At night, only outlines of someone standing very close to the curtain might be visible from the outside. This provides excellent privacy and reduces visual impact. You can buy opaque curtains in various levels of transparency; some allow some daylight to filter through, while others completely block out light.
Opaque curtains are particularly suitable for rooms with high visibility, such as living rooms or children's rooms. Since they are available in various colors and fabrics, they can be perfectly matched to the interior design and create a pleasant living atmosphere. They can also be easily combined with other curtains.
Besides providing good privacy, blackout curtains offer other functions: They can regulate the room climate by reducing direct sunlight in summer and helping to retain heat in winter. They also have a sound-reducing effect, improving room acoustics.

In-Between Curtains
As the name suggests, in-between curtains are an intermediate form between day and night curtains. They let enough light into the room during the day so that no electric light source is needed, and offer good privacy at night. This means you can still see outside during the day while remaining protected from prying eyes.
For in-between curtains, you have three materials to choose from: linen, blended fabrics, and polyester. We offer a variety of colors and styles so you can perfectly match them to your interior design. We have both light and dark color options.Linen curtainsYou can buy them from us in their natural color, which is called ecru.
Night curtains
Night curtains are also well-suited as privacy curtains. Unlike blackout curtains, they don't have a special layer of fabric to completely darken the room. You can choose between two types: night curtains that are completely lightproof or night curtains that look like day curtains at first glance and let a little more light into the room.
For blackout curtains, you can choose from the following materials: cotton, wool, polyester, linen, and blends. Both our light and dark fabrics are opaque. We offer our blackout curtains as ready-made items or as custom-made pieces. Some of our velvet curtains are also suitable as blackout curtains. Their smooth appearance adds a touch of luxury to any room.
blackout curtains
Blackout curtains are designed to completely darken a room and create a peaceful atmosphere. They block out both light and privacy thanks to a special inner layer. Furthermore, they offer excellent thermal properties, keeping out heat in the summer and preventing cold from penetrating in the winter.
Blackout curtains are available from vorhangschweiz in the following materials: blended fabrics and polyester. You can also order them as ready-made curtains or custom-made curtains.
Blackout curtains are best suited for the bedroom, as a dark room has been proven to reduce sleep.Sleep qualityblackout curtains are increased. However, they can also be used in combination with sheer curtains in other rooms. Since we have many blackout curtains with cute patterns, they are also perfect for children's rooms.
How to determine the right size
With functional curtains, the correct size is particularly important. If they are too short, they won't completely block out the light, and thermal efficiency will be reduced because drafts will enter the room. If the curtains are too long, they will drag on the floor and wear out faster, which affects their lifespan.

FAQs
What does 100% opaque mean?
100% opaque means that no light passes through the fabric. This primarily refers to 100% blackout curtains, as they completely block out light. With blackout curtains, you can easily take a nap during the day and get enough rest.
Which fabrics are opaque?
For complete room darkening, heavy and tightly woven materials such as polyester, cotton, and blends are best. Cotton brings a more natural feel to the room, while polyester can be dyed in a wide variety of colors. Linen is a good middle ground, as it is opaque yet still allows some daylight into the room.
What does "non-opaque curtain" mean?
Opaque curtains allow a lot of light to pass through, letting in plenty of brightness during the day. However, they don't provide good privacy at night. For this reason, they should be combined with an opaque curtain, such as a blackout or night-light curtain.
Which curtains are not suitable as opaque curtains?
While sheer day curtains or short curtains are aesthetically very appealing, they are not well-suited as opaque curtains. They can be made opaque by combining them with a night curtain or blackout curtain.
