Blockout Blinds FAQs

What are blockout roller blinds?

Also called blackout roller blinds, blockout roller blinds are made of a thick, durable material that blocks all light from passing through it while offering coverage to your window furnishings. Our sun-blocking blinds can be installed in the recess of the window or in front of it, and can either over-roll or under-roll depending on what you think looks best. Keep in mind that some roller blinds have a side that is a different colour, and this side will show if you install your blockout blinds in the under-roll style.

What are the benefits of blockout roller blinds?

• Room darkening: Blockout roller blinds assist in darkening your space while preventing sunlight from entering into your space. They help to create a calming, dark oasis for you to rest and relax for a good night's sleep. The blockout properties of these blinds are particularly great for night shift workers wanting to sleep during the day as they block the daylight out from your space.
• Insulation from the heat and cold: The coating of indoor blockout blinds additionally acts as an extra layer of insulation for your space, helping to regulate your room's temperature at a comfortable level. Keep the heat out in summer and the cold out in winter. Blockout blinds also help you lower your electricity bills and maintain a comfortable temperature.
• Privacy: Not only do blackout roller blinds offer exceptional room darkening and insulation benefits, they also provide a level of privacy, creating a space in your home that feels safe and secure. Often other blinds offer less privacy in the evenings due to indoor lightning brightening your home causing the blinds to become less effective in their privacy. The function of blockout roller blinds not only prevents sunlight from entering your home but ensures that indoor lighting is blocked from travelling outside.
• Installation: It's particularly easy to learn how to install blockout roller blinds. Our selection of ready made blockout roller blinds are prepared to be set up in the comfort of your home without the need for professional installation.

What are thermal roller blinds?

Thermal roller blinds have a special backing designed to reflect heat and keep your home at a comfortable temperature. While they do block some light due to their thickness, they are not specially made to do so and won't completely block out the light like blackout roller blinds do. You can find blinds that are a combination of both, which are called thermal blackout roller blinds.

Can I install blockout blinds on my own?

Our selection of ready-made blockout blinds can be easily installed at home using measuring tape, a pencil and a drill. Whether you're after a recess or a face fit, you can do it yourself at home! For a full step-by-step guide, check out our guide to installing roller blinds at home!

What Else Can I Find in the Blinds Range At Spotlight?

You can find many other kinds of quality window furnishings at Spotlight, including:

• Double roller blinds: These handy blinds allow you to have a blockout blind and a sheer blind over one window, giving you natural light during the day and complete privacy and darkness at night.
• Sheer roller blinds: Our sheer roller blinds prevent anyone from seeing inside your house while also allowing plenty of diffused natural light into the space. They will become see-through at night, however, so they are best paired with an opaque blind in places like bedrooms and living rooms.
• Blockout curtains: For an elegant and voluminous window furnishing, look at our blockout curtains. They come in all your favourite styles, like eyelet, tab top and pencil pleat, and block out all light from the outside.
