Do Blackout Roller Blinds keep the sun out?
Yes. You can control sunlight in your room using roller blinds with a range of fabric options. Blackout fabrics work best for extreme sun control whilst translucent and transparent fabrics diffuse light and reduce glare.
Do Blackout Roller Blinds keep the heat in?
Yes. Blackout Roller blinds will prevent heat loss through the window and prevent blockage of radiators for better circulation.
Do blackout blinds completely darken a room?
Light will not pass through a blind made with blackout fabric, but light will always enter the room by coming in around the sides and over the top of the blind. Blackout blinds will help to darken a room but will not completely darken the room.
Does the colour of the fabric I choose affect the effectiveness of the blackout?
No. Contrary to belief a black or dark coloured fabric is not more effective than a paler one. InDesign Blinds use only the highest quality blackout fabrics ensuring that no matter what colour you choose you are guaranteed the same level of light blocking effectiveness.
What is the difference between a dimout, diffused and blackout fabric?
A dimout fabric is perfect for creating privacy through the day without compromising on light. The translucent fabric will allow you to keep your room bright.
A dimout fabric is designed to let light through but to stop the glare coming through. It doesn’t have any blackout properties but it does filter out harsh sunlight.
A blackout fabric is designed to keep out the most light. This will block the majority of light coming through so is perfect for a bedroom.
