A blackout and thermal drapery fabric comprising, in combination:
- an impregnated blackout film having a first side and a second side, said impregnated blackout film adapted to achieve light inhibition and thermal diminution;
- a fabric located on one side of said impregnated blackout film and having a first side and a second side, said first side of said fabric coupled to said second side of said impregnated blackout film;
- and a layer of acrylic latex located on an opposite side of said impregnated blackout film and having a first side and a second side, said first side of said layer of acrylic latex coated to said first side of said impregnated blackout film to provide the blackout and thermal drapery.
A blackout and thermal drapery lining fabric comprising, in combination:
- an impregnated blackout film having a first side and a second side, said impregnated blackout film adapted to achieve light inhibition and thermal diminution;
- a fabric located on one side of said impregnated blackout film and having a first side and a second side, said first side of said fabric coupled to said second side of said impregnated blackout film;
- and a layer of acrylic latex located on an opposite side of said impregnated blackout film and having a first side and a second side, said first side of said layer of acrylic latex coated to said first side of said impregnated blackout film to provide the blackout and thermal drapery lining fabric dimensioned to be lined to a second fabric located on an opposite side of said fabric and having a first side and a second side.
A blackout and thermal drapery fabric comprising, in combination:
