Why Blackout
Darkness when you need it, style when you don't
Sleep through anything
Multi-layer coated fabric stops nearly all light at the panel — ideal for shift workers, babies, and bright summer mornings.
Looks like a premium shade
Dozens of fabric colours and textures. Closed they're black-out; open they're just a beautiful modern roller shade.
Warmer and cooler
The same dense fabric that blocks light also slows heat transfer through the glass, in both directions.
In the Bedroom
Total darkness, edge to edge
Blackout fabric handles the panel; the light that still sneaks in comes from the gaps at the sides and top. Add side channels and a cassette head cover and you seal those gaps for true blackout.
Prefer something in between? Room-darkening fabrics cut glare and heat without making the room feel closed off.
- Roller, cellular, dual-layer, and motorized styles
- Cassette head cover blocks light leak at the top
- Side channels seal the vertical gaps
Side Channels
U-type channel for maximum blackout
The U-type channel wraps the edge of the shade on both sides, dramatically reducing light leakage and giving you the closest thing to a sealed room.
Mounts inside the frame or onto the wall with hidden fasteners, and comes in a range of colours to match your trim.
Side Channels
L-type strips, the affordable option
L-type strips block side light at a lower cost. They mount to the wall in front of or behind the blind, depending on your window type and how deep the frame is.
We'll recommend the right channel for each window during your free in-home measurement.
Colour Library
Six popular blackout fabrics
Fabric colours can look slightly different in person due to camera and lighting effects. We bring full physical samples to your free in-home consultation so you can see every option in your actual light before deciding.
