Blackout Blinds

Blackout blinds are a fantastic solution for any room in the home. They are especially popular in bedrooms, particularly children’s rooms as well as the bathroom. As the name suggests the special fabrics keep rooms dark by blocking the sun. Blackout blinds also offer total privacy, the opaque fabric ensures that there is no view through to the inside of your home and of course there is no silhouetting at the window. An ideal window treatment for bathrooms and over-looked rooms.

Most window blind types are available with a blackout fabric option, choose from roller blinds, vertical blinds, roman blinds and pleated blinds. Blinds for Velux windows are also available as blackout.

Some blackout blinds have extra features. For a combination of blackout and thermal energy saving choose a Duotherm pleated blind. The aluminium lined fabric keeps the sun at bay as well as helping to keep rooms toasty warm. These blinds look fantastic too.

Another blackout blind with benefits is a PVC waterproof blind, a great solution for a bathroom where steam and humidity is the order of the day. These blinds are also a fantastic choice for challenging environments where window blinds may get dirty, PVC blinds are very easy to keep clean.  Another very practical and robust blind is a rigid PVC vertical blind. These blinds are fuss-free with no chains and offer a contemporary look.

Across the range of blackout blinds there is a wide variety of plain colours to choose from, as well as patterned designs. A patterned blackout blind in a bedroom can look fantastic while a brightly coloured blind is just the thing for creating a fun and vibrant look in a child’s bedroom.
