Fabric Information
The Antique Nightlong is a 100% Polyester blackout curtain woven at 328 GSM --- a weight that delivers dependable structure and a clean, controlled hang. The all-polyester construction is chosen for its consistency: uniform colour across the full panel, predictable light-blocking performance, and easy care. The blackout function is built into the fabric structure, not applied as a separate backing, ensuring the performance stays consistent through repeated washing. Tested to 40,000 Martindale rubs, it is a hard-wearing everyday curtain. Machine wash at 40°C, line dry, and low iron as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Antique is a muted warm beige — richer and more complex than cream, and with more warmth than a standard off-white. It has aged, timeless character rather than the freshness of a clean white. Think of it as the colour of natural linen or aged cotton, rather than anything sharp or bleached.
Polyester is less naturally breathable than cotton or linen, but the Nightlong is designed for light control rather than ventilation. For air circulation in a bedroom, the key factor is not curtain fabric breathability but room ventilation — windows, fans, or HVAC. The curtain manages light and privacy, not airflow.
328 GSM is a solid mid-weight for a blackout curtain — substantial enough to hang cleanly and resist billowing, but lighter than premium heavyweight fabrics like the Nocturnal at 357 GSM. It is the right choice when you want good structure and full room darkening without the additional insulation and sound benefits of a heavier weave.
Yes. The warm beige of Antique reads as classic and understated — it does not look modern in a jarring way. In a heritage interior with cornicing, high ceilings, and timber joinery, Antique sits naturally alongside those materials.
The 50-inch panel width refers to the fabric width, which is how it covers your window when hanging. The heading style (Grommet, Tab Top, Rod Pocket, etc.) does not change the panel fabric width — it only affects how the panel attaches to the rod.
The Nightlong has a smooth, flat weave. It is clean and uniform across the panel — chosen for its consistency and neat appearance. If you prefer a textured surface, the Stonewall collection offers a linen-look weave with a more organic feel.
Yes. The Antique Nightlong is made to your exact drop measurement. Whether you need 90 inches or 200 inches, you provide the measurement and we manufacture to match. Contact us if you have an exceptionally long drop for guidance.
No. All four Nightlong colourways — Antique, Mist, Shadow, and Vulcan — are the same fabric construction and provide the same 100% room darkening performance. The only difference is colour.
100% Polyester has very low shrinkage rates compared to natural fibres. Washing at 40°C should not produce noticeable shrinkage. If you are ordering to a very precise measurement, this is less of a concern with Nightlong than it would be with a cotton-containing fabric.
The DARKROOM collection is the umbrella name for all ZipCushions blackout curtain ranges. Nightlong is one of four ranges within it — along with Nightlife (cotton blend), Nocturnal (heavyweight), and Stonewall (linen-look). Each range offers a different fabric character while all delivering 100% room darkening.
