Blackout Shades, Common Questions
What’s the best blackout option for a nursery?
Cordless blackout cellular shades are our top nursery recommendation, they’re child-safe and block light while adding insulation. Add side channels for near-total darkness.
Do blackout shades block 100% of the light?
Blackout fabrics block virtually all light through the material itself. A small amount can still enter around the edges, adding side channels or an outside mount gets you as close to total darkness as possible, ideal for nurseries and media rooms.
Are blackout cellular shades better than blackout roller shades?
Both block light well. Blackout cellular shades add energy-saving insulation, making them the better pick for bedrooms in the Houston heat. Blackout roller shades give a sleeker, more minimal look. We’ll help you choose at your free estimate.
