Complete blackout is essential in many projects, particularly in hotels, serviced apartments and other hospitality environments. While blackout curtains block most incoming light, small gaps around the edges can still allow light to enter.
Therfore, achieving optimal light control requires more than just the right fabric. The curtain track system also plays a crucial role.With the right systems and accessoiries, light gaps can be minimised to create a truly dark space. Discover the different solutions below to achieve complete blackout.

The MCS is a curtain track with multiple channels. Multiple curtains can be hung on this track to create an overlap. With the MCS with three channels, for example, you can combine a sheer curtain with two overlapping blackout curtains. This overlap prevents light gaps in the middle of the curtains.
A pelmet profile is also available for the MCS. This profile can be slid into the top of the track to reduce light gaps at the top and create a clean, finished look.

The FMS® Dual is a motorised curtain track with two channels, specifically designed for blackout applications. The track is engineered so that the curtains can partially overlap. In the video you can see how the rear curtain slides behind the front curtain. This overlap prevents a light gap in the centre.

A simple blackout solution suitable for almost any curtain is the Velcro hotel profile. The L-shaped profile can easily be mounted on both sides of the window. When the curtain hems are fitted with Velcro tape, the curtains can be fixed tightly against the profiles. The Velcro profile is compatible with all Forest curtain track systems and offers a practical way to optimise darkness in any room.

A practical solution that can also be used with existing curtains is the Forest Lightblocker® Pelmet Profile. While curtain tracks are often a design choice, we acknowledge the importance of concealment, especially for light blocking.
The Lightblocker® pelmet profile helps reduce light entering from the top while neatly concealing the curtain track, creating a clean and finished appearance. The profiles can easily be cut to the required length. If needed, profiles can be extended by filling the seams and applying a final finish. Installation is simple and can be done using a universal adhesive.

Roller blinds are often a good choice for smaller windows because they take up little space. Choose a high-quality blackout fabric and combine the roller blind with our side guide profile to prevent light from entering the room.

A room can be effectively darkened with the right combination of curtain systems, accessories and fabric. By using overlapping curtains, side profiles or additional accessories, light gaps can be minimised.
Our solutions are widely used in bedrooms and hotel rooms, where a dark environment contributes to a good night’s sleep. They are also ideal for meeting rooms, presentation spaces and cinema rooms where effective light control is essential.
