Blackout Blinds
If you’ve ever been woken up by summer sunlight streaming through thin curtains, or spent a winter night watching shadows from passing headlights dance across your ceiling, you’ll know exactly why good blackout blinds matter.
We’ve been fitting blackout blinds across Coventry for over 30 years, and it’s one of the most rewarding jobs we do. When a customer rings to say their baby finally slept through, or a shift worker tells us they’ve had their first proper rest in months — that’s what keeps us doing what we do.
What makes a blackout blind actually work?
A lot of blinds are sold as “blackout” but let light bleed in around the edges. We’ve seen it time and again — customers who’ve bought off-the-shelf solutions and are still seeing light gaps at the sides or bottom of the window. The fabric is only part of the answer.
When we visit your home, we measure each window precisely and advise whether a cassette system or side channels would suit you best. For many Coventry homes — especially those with uPVC frames — our Perfect Fit blackout blinds clip directly into the window bead with no drilling, no gaps, and no fuss.
Which type of blackout blind is right for you?
Blackout Roller Blinds are our most popular choice for bedrooms. Clean, simple, and easy to motorise if you want the convenience of a remote.
Blackout Roman Blinds give you the elegance of soft folds with a blackout lining. Perfect if you want style as well as darkness in a living space or nursery.
Blackout Vertical Blinds are ideal for large patio doors or bay windows where you need full coverage.
Blackout Perfect Fit Blinds are our go-to recommendation for newer Coventry homes with uPVC windows. No drilling, no cord mess, and the blind moves with the window when you tilt it.
We don’t just hand over a blind and leave — our fitters check for light gaps before they pack up. If something isn’t right, we sort it before we go.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a blackout blind make my room completely dark?
With the right system fitted properly, yes. Our cassette and Perfect Fit options eliminate the light gaps that cheaper blinds leave. The fabric itself blocks all light, and we check for edge gaps before we finish.
Can blackout blinds help with energy bills?
Yes. A well-fitted blackout blind adds an insulating layer to your window, helping to keep heat in during winter months.
Do you offer blackout blinds for nurseries?
Absolutely — it’s one of our most common requests. We take particular care with child safety fittings in nurseries and children’s rooms, always using cordless or breakaway systems.
How long does fitting take?
Most windows take around 20–30 minutes each. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when we book your appointment.
Blackout Blinds for Every Room
Blackout Blinds for Bedrooms
Bedrooms benefit the most from blackout blinds. Whether you’re a light sleeper, work shifts, or simply want to make the most of darker mornings, a properly fitted blackout blind makes a real difference. Our made-to-measure blackout roller and Roman blinds ensure there are no gaps around the edges where light can creep in — a common problem with standard sized blinds.
Blackout Blinds for Nurseries and Children’s Rooms
For young children and babies, total darkness is important for healthy sleep patterns. Our cordless and motorised blackout blinds eliminate the safety risk associated with cords, making them the safest choice for children’s rooms. All our blinds comply with current UK child safety regulations.
Blackout Blinds for Home Theatres and Media Rooms
A dedicated media room or home cinema needs complete light control to get the best picture quality. Our blackout blinds provide total room darkening, creating the perfect cinema experience at home.
Blackout Blinds for Home Offices
If you work from home, blackout blinds can help you control light levels throughout the day — reducing screen glare in the afternoon and maintaining privacy from neighbours.
Additional Benefits of Blackout Blinds
Beyond blocking light, quality blackout blinds also offer:
- Thermal insulation — blackout fabrics have an insulating effect, helping to keep rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter, which can reduce energy bills.
- Noise reduction — thicker blackout fabrics provide a modest degree of sound absorption.
- Privacy — total opacity means complete privacy at all times of day and night.
- UV protection — blackout fabrics block harmful UV rays that can fade furniture and flooring.
