Why Blackout Shades?

With a dense weave or a fabric paired with a blackout liner, blackout shades also protect your home from harmful UV rays and help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
Benefits of Blackout Shades
Blackout Shades Considerations
Light Control Level
Although effective, blackout shades may allow a “halo effect” of light around edges. Consider adding side channels or pairing with drapery for complete darkness.
Fabric Color Options
Blackout shades are available in a range of colors and fabrics. Darker fabrics may offer slightly more light control, but any color can be effective when woven tightly or supported by a blackout liner.
Installation for Maximum Effectiveness:
Blackout shades need a tight fit within the window frame to prevent light seepage. For optimal results and to ensure a precise, light-blocking fit, it’s best to have a professional handle the measurements and installation.
Motorization and Cordless Options:
Due to the weight of blackout fabric, motorized lift options are convenient, allowing for easy operation with just the touch of a button. Cordless options are also available, offering a sleek look and enhanced safety for homes with children or pets.
