ENJOY TOTAL LIGHT CONTROL WITH BLOCKOUT BLINDS. LEARN WHAT MAKES THESE A POPULAR CHOICE IN AUSTRALIAN HOMES

Elevate your interiors with blockout blinds that are as attractive as they are functional. Roller blinds, Roman blinds, vertical blinds or panel blinds, there is a style and fabric to suit any interior. Not only do they protect your floors and furniture from the bright Aussie sun, they also give you the ability to block light and gain total privacy. Find out more about what makes blockout blinds so popular in our handy guide below.

Increase privacy and darkness with blockout blinds

Could your home or office do with some privacy from what’s outside? Perhaps you need to tame the beating sun or stop headlights disturbing you at night? Then, you need blockout blinds. Get the privacy you crave and let in as much or as little light as you like.

Reduce the amount of harmful UV light with blockout blinds

With all our glorious Australian light, there is, unfortunately, a need to protect our furniture and floors from harmful UV rays. Carpet Court’s range of high-quality blockout blinds completely block the harsh Australian sun and keep out unwanted exterior lights at night.

Not only do blockout blinds protect your interiors, they also have excellent insulation properties, keeping the heat out in summer, the warmth in during winter, and your electricity bill lower.

Check out our range of blockout blinds including light filtering and roller blinds

In addition to roller blinds, there are other types of blinds suitable for blockout fabrics. Roman blinds, vertical blinds and panel glide blinds can all be manufactured with either light filtering or blockout fabrics, making these already versatile window blinds even more adaptable to your needs.

Light filtering blinds allow you to enjoy natural light during the day while remaining private to the outside and, at night, the clever fabric provides privacy from the outside. Sunscreen fabrics offer you daytime privacy and exceptional sun protection, while also providing a clear view to the outside. However, it does not offer night-time privacy.

Double roller blinds are an excellent way to enjoy the best of both worlds when it comes to total light control. One roller can hold a light filtering or sunscreen blind for daytime privacy and natural light, and the second roller can hold a blackout blind for complete room darkening and privacy. Perfect for windows on a busy street, from the Melbourne CBD to the Sydney suburbs.

Find the best blockout window coverings for your rooms

Carpet Court’s large range of blinds cater to all styles of interiors, lifestyle requirements, and budgets. Here’s a list of the best types of block out blinds:

  • Roller blinds – Manufactured using fabric attached to an aluminium roller which is mounted to the window. Roller blinds create privacy, control room temperature, and let you adjust the natural light in a room. Sleek, energy efficient, suitable for both modern or contemporary homes, and never go out of style. Roller blinds are available in a wide range of fabric, including blockout, light filtering and sunscreen, and can be hung on single or duo brackets.
  • Roman blinds – Made of fabric attached to a series of aluminium battens, Roman blinds sit flat against a window when they are pulled down and gather into neat folds when they are raised. They can be made in blockout fabrics and they bridge the gap between a soft window furnishing and a blind, adding a stylish, layered look to your room. Roman blinds are operated by a chord system, or our expert team can fully motorisation them for effortless usability.
  • Vertical blinds – Practical and modern, vertical blinds suit any home. They are a simple to operate, affordable and popular choice for sliding doors and side-opening windows. Made of a series of vertical fabric slats with bottom weights, they can be fully drawn to the side to sit open unobstructed or sit at any angle between open and closed for light and privacy control.
  • Panel Glide - Essentially a modern version of vertical blinds, panel blinds have very wide panels. Panel blinds slide across tracks fitted above doors and windows, and stack together either against the wall or within the window/door cavity. Particularly suited to large windows and doors, panel glide blinds hold more contemporary appeal than curtains and are made in light filtering or blockout fabrics.

High-quality, low maintenance blockout roller blinds

At Carpet Court, we never compromise on quality. Our roller blinds are built to last with top quality mechanisms and durable fabrics. With a little bit of regular maintenance, your new blockout roller blinds will last a very long time.

To clean your roller blinds, remove surface dust with a soft cloth or vacuum brush. Then, wipe it with a damp sponge and dry it with a clean cloth. Don’t roll up fabric while it is damp. Remember to check the manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning your blinds, too.

Sunscreen vs blockout blinds - what’s the difference?

Sunscreen fabrics for blinds, such as our Transitional and Transitional Plus collections, provide a clear view of outside while blocking UV rays and controlling heat and light. They also offer excellent daytime privacy.

Blockout blinds will give you the ability to completely darken a room and control the amount of light you let in. The key difference between the two is that, when a blockout blind is down, you can’t see out of your window and your room is dark.

A popular solution is to hang a light filtering or sunscreen blind and a blockout blind on a double roller and enjoy a view with privacy by day and control night-time privacy and darkness as desired.

FAQ’s:

What are the best blinds to block out sun?

Blinds made with a blockout fabric are best for blocking sun. Blockout fabrics are available for Roman blinds, Roller blinds, Panel blinds, and Venetian blinds and come in a variety of colours from soft neutrals to dark colours like pewter and quartz.

Can you see through Blockout blinds?

When blockout blinds are closed, you can’t see out of them and no one can see in, either. When a blockout blind is open, you have an unobstructed view; however, if you’d like daytime privacy, consider adding a light filtering blind combination to your blockout.
