What Are Blockout Roller Blinds?
Blockout roller blinds are made using an opaque fabric designed to significantly reduce the amount of outside light entering a room. When lowered, they also provide privacy and create a simple, tidy appearance around the window.
They are one of the most popular window furnishing options because they are practical, easy to operate and suitable for many different rooms.
At Sasco Screens & Blinds, our blockout roller blinds are measured to suit your windows and professionally installed for a clean and reliable finish.
Benefits of Blockout Roller Blinds
Blockout blinds can improve the privacy, comfort and appearance of your home.
Stronger Light Control
Blockout fabric helps reduce sunlight entering the room, making it useful for bedrooms, nurseries, television rooms and other areas where stronger light control is preferred.
Improved Privacy
When fully lowered, blockout roller blinds prevent people outside from seeing through the window, making them suitable for bedrooms, bathrooms and street-facing rooms.
Clean Modern Appearance
The simple roller design sits neatly around the window and works well with both modern and established homes.
Easy to Operate
Blockout roller blinds can be raised or lowered easily, giving you straightforward control over privacy and natural light.
Wide Range of Colours
Choose from different fabric colours and finishes to coordinate your blinds with walls, flooring, furniture and other interior features.
Suitable for Many Rooms
Blockout roller blinds can be installed in bedrooms, living areas, kitchens, offices, rental properties and many other spaces.
Where Can Blockout Blinds Be Used?
- Bedrooms: Helps reduce outside light and provides privacy at night.
- Nurseries: Useful when creating a darker environment for daytime sleep.
- Living areas: Provides privacy and helps manage strong sunlight or television glare.
- Media rooms: Helps reduce glare on televisions and projector screens.
- Home offices: Can help manage direct sunlight and improve screen visibility.
- Rental properties: A practical and tidy window covering suited to everyday use.
Do Blockout Blinds Make a Room Completely Dark?
Blockout fabric prevents light from passing directly through the blind material. However, a standard roller blind may still allow a small amount of light to enter around the edges of the blind.
The amount of light entering will depend on the window, blind measurements and how the blind is installed. Our team can explain the expected result before you make your selection.
Single Blockout or Dual Roller Blinds?
A single blockout roller blind is suitable when your main priorities are privacy and stronger light control.
A dual roller blind combines a blockout roller blind with a sunscreen blind. During the day, the sunscreen blind can help reduce glare while still allowing natural light and some outside visibility. At night, the blockout blind can be lowered for privacy.
Single Blockout Roller Blind
A simple and practical option for bedrooms, offices, rental properties and rooms where daytime outside visibility is not essential.
Dual Roller Blind
A flexible option that combines daytime glare control with stronger night-time privacy and blockout coverage.
