Plentiful lighting in a room is excellent, at the right time of day. But if I was trying to sleep in on Saturday or watch a football game on the big screen TV or if my baby is waking up early from excessive sunlight in the room then I would want to find a window treatment that does the job.
- Blockout Verticals
Blockout Verticals is the best light blocker of all the verticals. This product is deceiving in that it will prevent light translucency through the fabric but still allow light control when you decide you’d like to tilt the slats to control your light situation. Having control of light and view when needed is a real plus here. - Blockout Cellular Shades
This is another excellent product for blocking light. When you lower these shades be ready for complete darkness. Works best for a baby's room or master bedroom (especially for those who like to sleep in). You'll have a hard time telling if it's day or night when you wake up. Be sure to ask for blockout as these blinds are also very popular as a shade in translucent. Gives a softer finished look. - Blockout Roller Blinds
The polyester material itself does an outstanding job of blocking all of the sun and light; no translucency, however a small gap at both sides will allow some light. One advantage of this product is price. If you're looking for a value priced product for light blockage this is your cheapest choice.
