How dark is dark?

Blackout fabric blocks light completely. How much light gets in around the edges depends on how the shade is mounted.

Inside mount

Fits inside the window frame for the cleanest, built-in look. A thin line of light can show at the edges.

Best for a clean look

Outside mount

Mounts above the window and covers the frame, so much less light gets around the edges.

Best for darker rooms

Side channels

Tracks on both sides hold the fabric edges and seal out the light. Near-total darkness.

Best for nurseries and shift workers

Want it pitch dark? Choose side channels, or layer your shade with curtains. We'll show you the options when we measure.

Blackout shade questions.

Will blackout shades make my room completely dark?

The fabric blocks light completely. A thin line of light can show at the edges. For near-total darkness, choose side channels or layer with curtains.

Can blackout shades be cordless?

Yes. Cordless and motorized options give a clean look and are safer for kids and pets.

Do blackout shades only come in black?

No. "Blackout" describes how much light the fabric blocks, not its color. Choose from 6 colors, including white and grey.

Can I have blackout and solar on the same window?

Yes, if your window has room for both. We check the depth when we measure and tell you what fits.

Inside mount or outside mount?

Inside mount looks clean and built-in when the window has enough depth. Outside mount covers the frame and lets less light in around the edges. We'll advise when we measure.

How do I clean them?

Dust regularly with a microfiber duster or a vacuum brush. Spot-clean gently with mild soap and water, and avoid harsh chemicals.

What's included in the free estimate?

A visit to your home, fabric samples, and professional measurements. No obligation.

How does installation work?

After you approve the quote, we schedule a return visit to install. Installation is a flat $189 for up to 10 shades.
