What our customers say
If you can still see daylight, the blind isn't doing its job.
You bought blockout blinds. The fabric is dark. But every morning, light still appears around the sides, across the top or underneath the blind.
The problem usually isn't the fabric. It's the gaps around it. Standard roller blinds cover the window. A true blackout system is designed to close the places where light gets in.
Blockout is not the same as blackout.
A blockout fabric stops light passing through it. A fitted blackout system is designed to stop the light getting around it too.
Blocks light through the fabric. But light can still enter:
- Down the sides
- Above the roller
- Underneath the blind
Designed to block the light around the window too. Depending on the system, that means:
- Side channels help seal the edges where standard blinds normally leak light.
- Top cassette / pelmet helps stop the glow that appears above ordinary roller blinds.
- Bottom seal closes the remaining gap at the bottom of the blind.
No side glow. No morning light. Just darkness when you want it.
Darkness at the touch of a button.
Close your blackout blinds without getting out of bed. Available with motorised operation, including rechargeable options on compatible systems. Depending on your selected setup, smart-home control may also be available.
Manual options are available where they suit the window better.
