Blackout Roller Blinds Buying Guide
Simple, effective and durable, blackout roller blinds are popular with customers. Being a space-efficient way of covering your windows, these blinds also block out external light. Blackout roller blinds are suitable for any room in your home, especially those hit with direct sunlight or where privacy is vital. For example, you may want to install them in your kitchen, bedroom, kid’s room, sitting room or conservatory.
Benefits to Blackout Blinds
Blackout Roller Blinds will block out all sunlight and street light, allowing you to have a peaceful, uninterrupted sleep at any time - day or night. Making them ideal for households with young children, night shift workers, and summer when nights are shorter.
Blackout roller blinds provide a more incredible feeling of privacy, making them the perfect window treatment for street-facing rooms and bathrooms.
Measuring Your Window
Inside the Recess:
Measure a few different recess points as it may not be the same size everywhere – the best places are at either end and in the middle. The smallest measurement should be used (for both width and length). When measuring for roller blinds, reduce the width by about 1cm to prevent your blinds from catching on the sides of the window sill. Remember, you need to leave room for the operating mechanism too!
Outside the Recess:
Follow the same steps for measuring inside the recess, but take the measurements from the outside edge instead. You should add 5cm (2”) to the width measurement to give you some overlap with the wall preventing unwanted light from seeping through the sides and allowing room for the operating system.
Measuring a Window Without a Recess:
Measure the length and width of your window. We recommend that you add 5cm (2”) on either side (10cm in total) to the width measurement to ensure good coverage.
