For bedrooms, many homeowners are interested in keeping out most of the light. Room darkening blinds will do just that–darken the bedrooms so the early morning sunshine doesn’t wake you, or nighttime light distractions don’t cause unnecessary wake-ups. But for some, even daytime light needs to be blocked. Blackout shades bring a darker atmosphere for midday naps or for windows that face extreme light.
Room Darkening VS Blackout
We get questions about the difference between light control with room darkening blinds and blackout shades. It’s easy to explain room darkening as “most of the light” is kept from the room. Blackout blinds can make it hard to see–even on a bright day. The results can be based on the fabrics, which kind of window coverings you select, or how the blinds are mounted at the window.
Dual Shades for Room Darkening
When considering room darkening blinds, dual shades has proven to be a favorite among clients. Why? You can experience natural light entering without glare or harsh direct light through the front, light filtering shade. Then, when you need it to be darker, lower the secondary blackout roller shade into place. This customizable feature gives you the best of both worlds and the widest range of light control.
Light Gaps
When it comes to covering your windows, the side light gaps can be a concern. This is what you’ll experience on a bright day when the blackout shades are lowered, where “slivers” of light are seen along the edges. There are products that offer minimal light gaps, but the expertise of measuring windows also comes into play. Some homeowners prefer to layer with drapery to cover the gaps. LightLock offers a U-shaped channel along the frame of the window, where the window shades nest, sealing out the light when the shades are closed.
