Collection: Custom Blackout Shades

Custom Blackout Shades

No amount of artificial light can beat the feeling of welcoming sunlight into your home. Sunlight can make any room shine and boost our mood. That said, there are moments when you don’t want to let any sunlight in. Whether you want to get a good night’s sleep, stream movies and TV shows, or ensure your little one sleeps peacefully, blackout blinds (shades) are a good option.

Understanding the shades terminology is important to ensure you get what you want. You may have heard of darkening or light-filtering shades. These shades block sunlight, but only to a certain degree. If you want maximum privacy, such shades aren’t the best solution.

On the other hand, we have blackout shades that block 100% of sunlight. When you have these thick, quality materials shades, you can enjoy a pitch-black room that doesn't allow the sunlight to find its way to a room. Many homeowners get these blinds for windows for bedrooms, nurseries, or entertainment rooms.

If you want to fully take advantage of your shades, choose custom blackout shades. They’ll fit your windows perfectly and guarantee maximum privacy and darkness. Blackout shades don’t have to look basic and dull. Depending on your preferences, you can choose blackout roller blinds, Roman blinds, or blackout cellular shades.

Factory Direct Blinds offers an exquisite collection of blackout blinds you’ll love. 

FAQs

Are blackout shades expensive?

Blackout shades can but don’t have to be expensive. It all depends on the selected material and manufacturer. Keep in mind that price doesn’t have to indicate the blinds’ quality, so don’t let it be the only factor in choosing the right model. 

What is the difference between darkening and blackout shades?

The biggest room-darkening vs. blackout shades difference is the amount of light they let in. Room-darkening shades keep about 95%-99% of the light out, which is decent, but it’s not 100%. If you want to completely block the sunlight, choose blackout shades. 

Are custom shades expensive?

Contrary to popular belief, custom shades don’t have to be expensive. You can get them at excellent prices at selected stores like Factory Direct Blinds. 

Are blackout roller shades worth it?

Some people enjoy waking up to the sunlight and embracing the day. They say it improves their mood right from the start. Others don’t like this at all. They want to recharge their batteries without being interrupted by the sun. If you belong to the second group, blackout roller shades are absolutely worth it. They’re also ideal for private cinemas and swimming pools.
