Room Darkening VS Blackout: Which One Is Right for You?
When we use the words room darkening and blackout, the difference describes how dark the room gets. Room darkening blinds are created with specialty fabrics that darken the space, enough to take a nap midday, but may not create a pitch black experience during the day. The words “blackout blinds” is used to describe a space where all the light is sealed out from the room. It can be difficult to see in front of you–even during the day. Most homeowners are looking for room darkening solutions, which allow you to sleep later on the weekends or to take a nap on Sunday afternoon. For windows that receive intense direct sunlight, homeowners that work third shift, or for someone who wants to create the ultimate theater experience in their media room, blackout window coverings will be the ideal choice.
What About Light Gaps?
Light gaps are the slivers of light you can see down along the edges of your room darkening blinds, between the fabric and the window frame. This can be an issue when you find that light distracting, or the light gaps are bringing too much light into the space. Your window covering specialist will help determine the fit and the type of room darkening shades that might work best to prevent too much light gapping. There are additional features that can ensure the reduction of light gaps. For the utmost darkness, we can set you up with LightLock™. It’s total darkness, no matter what’s going on outside. Some homeowners also opt to add blackout curtains at the window to cover light gaps and close when necessary.
Room Darkening with Dual Shades
With recent innovations, options for controlling the light in your home has widened substantially. Dual shades allow you to shift from a soft, light filtering experience with partial privacy, to room darkening and complete privacy just by adjusting which shade is lowered at the window. Your bedroom no longer has to feel like a cave all the time if you want privacy or simple light control. You can adjust the front light filtering shade into place for most circumstances, while the blackout roller shade is lowered in place when it’s time to sleep. This dual shade experience is a game-changer when it comes to trying to choose between light filtering or light blocking.
