Blackout Blinds and Shades

What are the benefits of blackout window shades?

Blackout shades are very effective at blocking out light. Their material is thick and features a reflective backing layer that blocks 100% of the light. For this reason, they are a great way to help you sleep better or concentrate during the day by reducing distractions from outside. They can be used in a variety of settings, including bedrooms, offices, and nurseries, where you need darkness for sleeping or to reduce glare. Finally, due to their thicker material when compared to other window shades, they are also more energy efficient and a great way to keep a room cool in the summer months, or warm during the winter. They can be a fantastic option to passively save on energy costs, all while keeping your home more comfortable.

Why should you get blackout blinds over other window treatments?

Blackout blinds provide a level of darkness that allows you to sleep during the day - perfect for if you work night shifts or have young children - or even if you just like to sleep in on the weekends! You can get the rest you need without worrying about the morning sun disturbing you.

Blackout window shades are also fantastic for providing privacy from nosy neighbors or passersby, which is especially useful if you live in the city or on a busy street where there are many people around at all hours of the day and night.

Complete darkness isn’t just for sleeping though - it has become increasingly important to have a space that doesn’t get any glare from the sun so that you can see on your TV or computer screens without straining your eyes. Whether that is for creating a space for concentrating on work, or for enjoying a movie night in, blackout blinds and shades will give you the dark environment that you need.

Thankfully, there are many different types of blackout blinds to choose from, so you can find the perfect option for your needs. From different styles such as roller shades, roman shades, and cellular shades, to different lift options like motorized or manual. You can customize your window treatments to your liking.
