How should I layer this window?
Tell us the room, your day and night needs and the sun — get the right layer stack (sheer, dim-out, blackout, blind) and the track type to hang it on, with the reasoning a designer would give you.
Your window
Layer stack for your bedroom
Layered: sheer + blackout
Track type
Double track (sheer in front, back curtain behind)
Layers
2-layer stack
Why
- One layer can't do day and night: the sheer softens daylight and screens you by day, the back curtain handles night privacy, sleep and heat.
- Because you need real darkness, the back layer must be a true blackout — a lined dim-out still leaks light at the edges.
- This is a harsh-sun window, so the back layer is upgraded to thermal / blackout for genuine heat protection.
Check this window in the heat-gain calculator — it likely tops the list to treat first.
Alternatives: Honeycomb blackout blind behind a single dress curtain · Motorised track to close against the afternoon sun and open gently at dawn
