Frequently Asked Questions
Do blackout shades really block all light?
Our blackout fabrics block 100% of light passing through the material itself. For true room darkening, we recommend adding side channels and a fascia to eliminate light gaps around the edges.
Are blackout shades good for nurseries?
Absolutely. Blackout shades are one of the most recommended window treatments for nurseries and children’s rooms. Our cordless options also meet all child-safety standards.
Can I get blackout shades that look stylish?
Yes. Our blackout shades feature decorative fabric faces in a wide range of colors, textures, and styles. From the room side, they look like any premium shade — the blackout technology is hidden within the fabric layers.
Are blackout shades energy efficient?
Yes. The multi-layer construction provides excellent thermal insulation. When combined with side channels, blackout shades can reduce heat transfer through windows by up to 40%.
What's the difference between room-darkening and blackout?
Room-darkening shades reduce light by 95-99%, allowing a small amount of ambient light. True blackout shades block 100% of light through the fabric. With side channels, our blackout system achieves near-total room darkness.
