Room Darkening VS Blackout Blinds
It’s a common question…”Which is better, room darkening or blackout blinds?” The answer comes when you better understand what you need. Room darkening blinds create spaces that have “most” of the light removed, where blackout blinds provide an environment where it’s hard to see in front of you. Fabrics can influence this, of course. But, it can also depend on the makeup of your windows, the type of window shades you choose and the way the coverings are installed.
Dual Shades for Room Darkening
Quickly becoming a favorite for room darkening blinds and blackout shades, the dual shades feature allows you to have the light-filtering shades you love–in roman shades, roller shades, or Silhouette shades. When you want it dark, a blackout roller shade drop down, blocking all light, creating the darkened sanctuary you’ve been dreaming of. It adds invaluable versatility to the windows of your Roseville area home.
Light Gaps
Light gaps can interfere with your light control, depending on how dark you need it. During the day, when room darkening shades are lowered, you can sometimes see slivers of light appear along the edges, inside the window frame. This “halo” effect can be the result of the type of window shades, the make of your window, the depth of the window, or whether the window shades were installed with an inside or outside mount. For the highest level of light control, the LightLock feature seals out any incoming light. Another option is to add side draperies to the window to block the edges of light.
