Dreamline Bumf – New curtain technology to sound-proof and insulate any room
It’s no secret the Cosmostyle team get excited about fabrics. But sometimes, we think you might get excited too. That’s certainly the case with a new type of curtain lining (also known as bumf or bumph) from James Dunlop Textiles. It’s called Dreamline and here are 5 reasons we think you might be excited too.
1. Dreamline bumf uses 3 pass blockout coating technology
That’s jargon for saying it has 3 fine layers of foam bonded to the lining fabric. Ordinarily, this would make your curtains feel heavy and difficult to open or close. It also makes curtains look chunky. But the Dreamline lining fabric feels lighter and less bulky while still being highly effective.
2. It’s ideal for blocking light
Many clients want light blocking solutions to help them have a restful night’s sleep or for their children’s bedrooms when naps and early summer bedtimes are a battle zone. While lighter and less chunky, Dreamline bumf is great for blocking light. It also means you can choose those gorgeous silk or taffeta fabrics for your bedroom curtains and use Dreamline Bumf to give them the blockout properties you need.
3. Dreamline Bumf has great sound-proofing properties
If you live on a busy road, have noisy neighbours or are a light sleeper, incorporating Dreamline Bumf into your curtains will help prevent external noises penetrating your home. It can also work well if you have timber flooring or find life at home is noisy because Dreamline Bumf absorbs internal noise as well.
4. Reduce your home heating costs
Over winter, windows are one of the biggest sources of heat loss in your home – even if you close your curtains. Installing curtains with Dreamline Bumf lining will reduce that heat loss and save money on your home heating costs. In summer, the reverse is true. Lining your curtains with Dreamline Bumf will keep external heat out so your air conditioner doesn’t need to work as hard.
5. Perfect for home theatre use
Because of its blockout and sound-proofing properties, Dreamline Bumf is a great option to include in your home theatre curtains.
