Blackout blinds that shut the light right out

There is no real difference. Blockout is the common term in Australia and blackout is used overseas, but both describe a blind made from fabric that stops light passing through. Our 100% blackout series does exactly that, so whichever word you search, you are looking at the same made-to-order product.

Our fabric is rated at 100% blackout, so the main thing to manage is the gap around the edges. We fit blinds to overlap the window and, where you want the darkest possible result, recommend channels or side guides that close the light gaps at the frame. That makes a blackout roller a strong choice for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms.

Both stop light through the fabric, so the choice is about look and window. A blackout roller sits neat and flat against the glass and suits a modern, minimal room or a window short on wall space. Blackout curtains add softness, texture and a little more edge coverage for the darkest result. Plenty of homes combine the two, and we help you decide at your measure.

Yes. Because the light-blocking coating sits inside the fabric, a pale or white blackout blind can still darken the room completely. The range runs from crisp white and neutral tones through to charcoal and black, so you keep a bright, airy window by day without giving up darkness at night.

Yes. Blackout rollers can be made cordless for child safety or fully motorised with remote, wall switch, app or smart home control. Motors run on battery, mains or solar power, ideal for bedrooms, high windows and anyone wanting a clean, cordless finish. We help you choose the right control and power setup at quote stage.

Yes. A zebra day-night blind carries two striped layers on one roll, so you move between soft filtered light and full privacy without a second blind. It is a flexible setup for living areas and bedrooms that switch between daytime light and evening darkness.

Yes. Our fabrics meet Class A infant-safe environmental standards, and chains are tensioned and secured so no loose loops sit within reach. For a nursery or play area we usually recommend a cordless or motorised blackout blind, which removes the cord completely for the safest result.

As a guide, most custom blackout blinds are ready within a few weeks of your measure being confirmed, since each one is cut and made to your exact window. Timing can shift a little with fabric and motorisation choices, so we give you a clear estimate at quote stage and keep you updated through production and delivery.
