For all those that want to go the extra mile to ensure maximum light reductions, we invite you towards the room darkening blind. Sitting between the window and the shutters, incorporated in the same frame as the shutter, the room darkening blind is a simple and stylish double layered honeycomb blind that can answer your prayers and help to achieve the blackout effect.
This highly technical option we offer works by using two compartments in the framing when you order shutters; one for the shutter and the other for the blind. This gives a sleek finish without any clumsy and bulky divided sections and deliver a highly practical edge! Giving your shutters a near blackout answer with the addition of the blind, while still enjoying the beauty of shutters across your window in the daytime.
The best thing about adding room darkening blinds is that they use a simple drawstring to control and furthermore when you aren’t looking to darken the room, they are tucked away behind the top rail of the shutter panel, so you can’t see any indication that they are stored up there!
