Description

Dreamtex International – Blackout Fabric Collection

Dreamtex International’s blackout fabrics form the core of our hospitality textile offering—engineered, woven, coated, and inspected to meet the exacting standards of today’s global hotel, cruise, and commercial design markets. Unlike commodity blackout fabrics found in general distribution channels, every Dreamtex blackout is produced exclusively for us, manufactured using formulations, weaving specifications, and coating processes developed in partnership with our mills.

Manufacturing Designed, Controlled, and Overseen by Dreamtex

With dedicated on-the-ground team members and office support in Zhejiang Province, China, Dreamtex oversees every step of production:

  • Weaving on dedicated looms set to our proprietary construction standards
  • Coating using Dreamtex-specific formulations for opacity, hand-feel, and durability
  • Four-pass blackout coating process for complete light elimination
  • Inline inspection with calibrated fabric-inspection machines
  • Batch-to-batch consistency control monitored by our local teams

No other supplier has access to our exact constructions, coatings, or proprietary formulations.
Our blackouts are truly unique to Dreamtex International.

Four-Pass Blackout Coating – Complete Light Blockage, Zero Pinholes

A defining feature of Dreamtex blackout fabrics is our four-pass coating process, applied during production to ensure absolute light control.

Most blackout fabrics in the market use two or three passes of coating—enough for general shading but often prone to:

  • Pinholes
  • Uneven opacity
  • Visible light leakage under direct sunlight

Dreamtex’s standard manufacturing process uses four separate coating passes. The result is a blackout fabric that delivers:

  • Zero pinholes
  • Zero visible light transmission—even under intense daylight
  • Superior consistency across the entire width and roll
  • A smoother, more stable drape for fabrication

This four-pass method is one of the key reasons Dreamtex blackouts outperform standard hospitality blackout fabrics and provide reliable light control for guestrooms, suites, theaters, and cruise ship cabins.

PFAS-Free for Modern Hospitality Requirements

All Dreamtex blackout fabrics are 100% PFAS-free, ensuring compliance with evolving U.S. and EU environmental standards. PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) have historically been used in textiles for stain and water resistance but are now restricted globally due to safety and environmental concerns.

Our PFAS-free approach delivers a safer, more environmentally responsible product without compromising durability, opacity, or performance.

Prepared for Digital Printing (PFDP) – Proprietary Dreamtex Primer

Each blackout fabric is produced in a PFDP (Prepared For Digital Printing) variant using a proprietary Dreamtex print primer integrated directly into the coating process. This specialized primer:

  • Enhances ink adhesion
  • Prevents edge bleeding
  • Improves clarity in fine lines and gradients
  • Produces deeper, more saturated color
  • Ensures consistency across full production runs

Dreamtex is one of the only suppliers offering a hospitality-grade blackout fabric engineered from the ground up for digital printing—not post-treated or coated after weaving.

Four Signature Base Weaves

The Dreamtex blackout collection is built on four foundational weave structures, each crafted to offer its own texture, weight, and visual character:

1. Georgie

A robust, heavier weave offering exceptional blackout performance and luxurious body—ideal for premium properties and demanding environments.

2. Ava

A more expressive woven character that provides structure and visual interest while remaining fabrication-friendly.

3. Rose

A soft, subtly textured weave that adds quiet dimension while maintaining a clean, modern presentation.

4. Venus

A refined, smooth weave with a premium hand-feel—versatile, balanced, and suitable for modern and transitional interiors.

Performance That Meets the Demands of Hospitality

Dreamtex blackout fabrics are engineered for:

  • Complete room darkening with zero pinholes
  • High tensile and tear strength
  • Smooth fabrication on industrial workroom equipment
  • Consistent dye lots and controlled coloration
  • Resistance to fraying and edge distortion
  • Long-term dimensional stability

These performance characteristics ensure reliability for both individual installations and large-scale global hospitality programs.

NFPA 701 & IMO Fire Certification — A Key Dreamtex Advantage

All Dreamtex blackout fabrics are rigorously fire tested and certified to meet the industry’s most critical safety standards.

NFPA 701 Certified

Required for hotels, commercial interiors, and most U.S. hospitality projects.
Our NFPA 701 certification ensures:

  • Compliance with all major hotel brand standards
  • Safe installation in guestrooms, ballrooms, lobbies, and public spaces
  • Full acceptance during property inspections and brand audits

IMO Certified (International Maritime Organization)

Required for cruise ships, marine hospitality projects, international maritime properties, and all public maritime interior environments.

Most suppliers do NOT test blackout fabrics to the IMO standard.
Dreamtex does — setting us apart in the cruise and marine sector.

Our IMO certification ensures:

  • Approval for all cruise line applications
  • Safe use in cabins, suites, theaters, lounges, and public areas
  • Compliance with global maritime safety regulations
  • Ready-to-spec solutions for shipbuilders and refurbishment teams

NFPA 701 + IMO compliance positions Dreamtex as a top-tier hospitality and marine textile supplier capable of handling land-based and sea-based projects with equal confidence.

Through specialized finishing and mill-level development, nearly all Dreamtex sheers can support digital printing, allowing designers to achieve effects previously impossible with sheer fabrics:

  • Atmospheric textures and tonal artwork
  • Layered visual designs when paired with printed blackouts
  • Brand motifs and subtle decorative treatments
  • Dual-layer storytelling through coordinated blackout + sheer prints

This print-ready capability turns sheers into a creative medium—not just a functional layering fabric.

Manufacturing Oversight from Fiber to Final Inspection

As with our blackout collection, Dreamtex maintains a high level of production control through its team and office presence in Zhejiang Province, China. Every sheer is produced under our direct oversight:

  • Yarn sourcing and approvals
  • Controlled weaving on calibrated looms
