What Blinds Are Best Suited For Shift Workers?

For young kids and shift workers, we would recommend our blackout systems, Our blackout blinds are contained with a cassette and two side channels. The fabric falls within the solid channels which reduce the amount of light coming into the room. We aim to achieve 99% complete darkness in comparison to any other roller blind available on the market. 

Our blackout systems are available in spring operation, chain operation and motorized controls. Our motorized units can be controlled via remote control or a mobile application. The application is also integrated with Alex and Google Home for your convenience. The blackout systems have been independently tested to reduce heat loss by up to 43% in compassion to having no blinds on your window.

Can You Control Blinds Using Your Phone?

So if you’re on holiday, you can still have your blinds operating on a daily basis which increases the security within your home.

Can Blinds Stop Heat Escaping A Room?

Yes, blinds can stop heat from escaping a room. Any blind that you place between a window and a room will reduce heat loss. However, our blackout systems have been independently tested to reduce heat loss by 43%.

What Is The Difference Between Dimout Screens & Blackout Blinds?

A dim-out fabric will reduce the amount of light that is coming into the room whilst maintaining your privacy. When the blind is down, a screen baric will filter the amount of direct sunlight and heat transferred into the room. However, you do sacrifice privacy in the evening time. 

A translucent fabric will allow light still to shine through your room while maintaining privacy. A screen fabric will defuse the amount of sunlight that is coming inside of the room but still allows you to see out of it. On the other hand, a blackout fabric has no light penetration and is ideal for bedrooms.
