Blackout Blinds

Blackout blinds from Window Blinds UK are specifically designed to block out light and offer unbeatable levels of privacy and comfort. Our made to measure blackout blinds are the perfect choice for bedrooms and nurseries but are also great for any areas of the home including living rooms, home offices, bathrooms and television areas.

Made with a specially designed blackout coating on the external side of the blind, blackout blinds prevent the maximum amount of light possible from entering the room. This makes them great for the bedroom, whether it is to block artificial street lighting at night or the glare of the sun during the day. Blackout blinds enable you to get a great night's sleep or peaceful afternoon nap without being disturbed by the levels of ambient light entering the room through the window.

Blackout blinds are also hugely popular for use as nursery blinds or in children's bedrooms so that little ones can sleep peacefully during the day and are not woken up too early in the morning; particularly during the summer months.

An increasingly popular choice for use throughout the home, blackout blinds prevent light from permeating through the material into the room and so can prevent furniture from fading due to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. They are also popular for use in living rooms or home cinema areas to prevent glare on television screens.

Curtains can allow light to enter through the gap where they meet and other types of non blackout blinds can allow light to penetrate through the material but blackout blinds provide the most effective option for controlling levels of light in the room. They also offer enhanced levels of privacy by minimising the “silhouette effect” at night and also help to keep rooms warmer in winter and cooler during the summer.

Because of the way blackout blinds are created, using a specially designed material applied to the window side of the blind, they are available in a huge choice of colours, designs and styles including light and neutral tones and patterned designs.

Our blackout roller blinds are the most popular choice for the bedroom as they are simple, easy to use and look great. They can be fitted outside the window recess for maximum blackout effect, or fitted inside the recess for a more streamlined look or to team with curtains or other window dressings.

Blackout roller blinds are also widely used in bathrooms and kitchens as they are simple to keep clean and offer complete privacy. Blackout blinds can be created using materials with water and mould resistant properties making them ideal for environments where they may come into contact with water or steam.

In addition to blackout roller blinds, we are also able to produce made to measure vertical blackout blinds in a wide choice of fabrics and designs. Blackout vertical blinds are a popular choice for larger windows such as in living room areas or for patio doors or conservatories. Vertical blackout blinds can be made in a great range of colours and textures in both patterned or plain designs to suit any style of home décor.
