Blackout Blinds

Blackout blinds are the ideal solution for keeping light out of a room; they also keep heat out because they block sunlight – a good way to keep a room cool. We believe that roller blinds are the best option. Broadview offers a wide range of high-quality blackout blinds suitable for home and office use, providing complete blackout of the window. We design and install blackout blinds in Bournemouth and Poole in Dorset and across Hampshire and Wiltshire.

Traditional blackout roller blinds combine a standard roller blind with blackout material and there is typically a 15mm leak light into the room from all four edges. Roller blinds are useful in many situations, but sometimes you need more than this.

Broadview also offers Rollerbox blackout blinds, which use a unique cassette and rail system that fits the window frame to ensure varying degrees of blackout up to almost 100% blackout of the window. This innovative blind style not only provides a space with complete darkness but also cuts out draughts. Additionally, thermally insulated blackout fabrics can be selected to provide significant potential savings on heating costs.

Blackout Blinds FAQs

Below you'll find a list of frequently asked questions we receive regarding blackout blinds. We hope this will clear up any doubts or questions you may have, but if not, don't hesitate to contact our team.

Do blackout blinds block all light?

Blackout blinds are designed to reduce as much light as possible, but the level of darkness depends on the blind style and how it is fitted. Standard blackout blinds greatly reduce light, while systems fitted closer to the frame can achieve a much higher level of blackout.

Are blackout blinds good for bedrooms?

Yes, blackout blinds are especially well suited to bedrooms because they help reduce outside light, support better sleep, and improve privacy. They are also a popular choice for children’s rooms and nurseries.

What is the best type of blackout blind?

That depends on the room and the result you want to achieve. Blackout roller blinds are a popular choice, while more enclosed systems can provide even greater light reduction and a neater fitted finish.

Do blackout blinds help keep rooms cooler?

Yes, blackout blinds can help reduce solar gain by limiting the amount of direct sunlight entering the room. Some blackout fabrics also offer added thermal benefits, helping rooms feel more comfortable throughout the year. Read our guide – Do blackout blinds keep the heat out?

Are blackout blinds only for bedrooms?

No, although they are commonly used in bedrooms, blackout blinds also work well in living rooms, nurseries, home offices, bathrooms, and meeting rooms where glare, privacy, or light control is important.

Can blackout blinds improve privacy?

Yes, blackout blinds are very effective for privacy, particularly in rooms overlooked from the street or neighbouring properties. They help create a more enclosed, comfortable feel, especially in the evening.

Are blackout blinds made to measure?

Yes, made-to-measure blackout blinds provide a better fit, a neater appearance, and stronger performance than off-the-shelf options. Accurate fitting is especially important when you want to reduce light leakage around the edges.

Are blackout blinds available in different colours and finishes?

Yes, blackout blinds are available in a wide range of fabrics, colours, and finishes, so you can choose a style that works with both the practical needs of the room and the look of your interior.
