Two Layers. One System. Total Control.
Double curtains hang on a dual-track system with two independent layers at the same window — so you can use one, both, or neither depending on the time of day and the light you want.
Sheer Layer — Daytime
Hangs closest to the window. Filters daylight into a soft, diffused glow. Maintains privacy from the street while keeping the room bright and airy. See our sheer curtain range.
Blockout Layer — Night-time
Hangs on the second track. Closes independently for complete room darkening, full privacy and thermal insulation. See our blockout curtain range.
Dual Track — Independent Control
Each layer slides on its own track so you can position them however you need — sheer only, blockout only, or both closed for maximum insulation and privacy.
One Window Setup — For Every Hour of the Day
Unlike single-layer roller blinds or curtains, double curtains adapt to your needs throughout the day without changing your window setup.
During the Day
Sheer layer closed · Blockout openAt Night
Blockout layer closed · Sheer as neededThree Heading Styles — Cohesive Across Both Layers
The heading style determines how your curtain fabric gathers and drapes. For double curtains, we recommend the same heading style on both the sheer and blockout layer for a unified, intentional finish.
S-Fold
A continuous, relaxed wave that flows naturally. Creates a soft, contemporary look that suits modern Sydney apartments and open-plan living areas. The most popular heading style for double curtains.
Most Popular · Modern HomesPinch Pleat
Evenly spaced fabric folds sewn at the top create a structured, formal appearance. Suits heritage homes, high-ceilinged rooms and formal living spaces. Classic and timeless.
Classic · Heritage Homes · FormalEyelet
Metal ring eyelets slide directly onto the curtain rod, creating gentle, even folds and a contemporary look. Simple to operate. Suits modern and Scandinavian-style interiors.
Contemporary · Easy to OperateWhy Double Curtains Suit Sydney's Climate and Housing
Sydney's combination of intense summer heat, moderate winters and the prevalence of apartment living makes double curtains one of the most practical window furnishing choices in the city.
In summer, the blockout layer prevents heat gain through west-facing windows — critical in suburbs like Strathfield, Parramatta and Penrith where afternoon temperatures regularly exceed 35°C. In winter, the two-layer system creates an insulating air pocket that slows heat loss — reducing dependence on heating.
For Inner West apartments and heritage homes, double curtains address privacy and noise from busy streets while maintaining natural light during the day — something a single-layer blockout cannot do.
Summer — West-Facing Rooms
Blockout layer prevents heat gain in west-facing rooms from October through March — essential in Western Sydney and Hills District homes.
Winter — Insulation Benefit
The two-layer system traps air against the window glass, slowing heat loss and reducing heating costs in Sydney winters.
Apartments — Street Privacy
Sheer layer maintains privacy from neighbouring buildings during the day. Blockout blocks streetlight at night in Inner West and CBD-fringe suburbs.
Heritage Homes — Period Aesthetic
Pinch pleat double curtains suit the high ceilings and formal rooms of Federation-era homes common in Ashfield, Strathfield and Burwood.
Which Room Benefits Most from Double Curtains?
The day-night flexibility makes double curtains a smart choice in any room where you need different levels of light and privacy throughout the day.
Sheer + Blockout
Sleep in on weekends. Sheer layer for gentle morning light, blockout for complete darkness when needed.
Most Popular
Sheer + Blockout or Dim-Out
Sheer for daytime softness and TV glare reduction. Blockout for movie nights and afternoon sun on west-facing walls.
S-Fold Style
Sheer + Blockout
Blackout layer for daytime naps and early-riser sleep-ins. Sheer for soft morning light when they wake.

Double Curtains Sydney — Custom Made from $170 at Our Homebush West Factory
Double curtains combine two independent curtain layers — a sheer and a blockout — on a dual-track system at the same window. They're the most flexible window furnishing choice for Australian homes, offering soft filtered daylight during the day and complete room darkening at night, all without changing your window setup.
At CAS Blinds, every double curtain is custom made to your exact measurements at our Homebush West Sydney factory. Both layers are manufactured together, dispatched together, and designed to operate as a cohesive pair — not as two independent products pieced together after the fact.
What Are Double Curtains?
Double curtains — sometimes called double-layer curtains or day-night curtains — feature two independent layers of fabric at the same window. The front layer is typically a sheer curtain that filters daylight and maintains privacy during the day. The rear layer is a blockout curtain that provides complete light elimination and privacy when closed at night.
The two layers operate on separate tracks, so you can use the sheer alone, the blockout alone, or both closed. This flexibility makes double curtains significantly more versatile than single-layer options like roller blinds or single curtains.
Double Curtains vs Single Curtains — Which Should You Choose?
- Double curtains: Day-to-night flexibility, soft light with privacy during the day, complete darkness at night. Better insulation. Higher upfront cost.
- Single sheer curtains: Soft light and daytime privacy. No darkness capability. Best for living areas that don't need blackout.
- Single blockout curtains: Complete darkness and privacy. No soft-light option. Best for bedrooms where daytime light isn't a priority.
- Blockout roller blinds: Clean, minimal look. Excellent light control. No layered softness — either fully up or fully down.
For most Sydney bedrooms, double curtains are the best single investment — the day-night flexibility eliminates the need to change products seasonally or as your needs change over time.
Our Double Curtain Fabric Combinations
CAS Blinds offers two double curtain combinations: the Bali Sheer + Kirra Blockout and the Bali Sheer + Galaxy Blockout. Both use the same elegant Bali sheer fabric — a lightweight, linen-look sheer that diffuses light beautifully — paired with different blockout fabrics.
- Bali Sheer + Kirra Blockout: Versatile combination with a classic coated blockout. Suits most rooms. From $170 for both layers.
- Bali Sheer + Galaxy Blockout: Premium option with enhanced light elimination and a more refined drape. From $188 for both layers.
