What are integrated room darkening blinds?
The combination of Honeycomb corded blinds and plantation shutters ensures maximum room darkening and minimal noise for any room at any time of the day. The corded honeycomb blinds can also be ordered as a stand-alone window cover solution.
How much do integrated room darkening blinds cost?
We don't publish a fixed price for integrated room darkening blinds online, as the quote depends on your chosen shutter range and the size of your windows. However, when fitting behind shutters, the blinds can increase the cost of the window by 25–40% depending on the range. Book a free home survey and one of our specialists will measure your windows and give you an accurate quotation for your shutters and blinds together. Site surveys are free of charge within the M25 and home counties.
How do they keep the light out?
Our Room Darkening Blinds sit snugly in their own channel behind the shutters, which stops almost all light from seeping through, unlike traditional roller blinds. The blind has a lightweight, single honeycomb cell construction, and you simply tilt your shutters for light by day and lower the blind in its channel for darkness at night.
Are room darkening blinds the same as blackout blinds?
Yes, people often call them blackout blinds. Integrated room darkening blinds are the combination of Honeycomb corded blinds and plantation shutters, designed for maximum room darkening and minimal noise, and the blind sits in its own channel behind the shutters to stop almost all light from seeping through, hence we name them room darkening rather than blackout.
Can I order the blinds without shutters?
Yes. The corded honeycomb blinds can also be ordered as a stand-alone window cover solution.
Are they suitable for a nursery?
Yes. They are ideal for bedrooms, especially nurseries, as they offer the versatility to manage light control during the day and night, all with a child-safety mechanism.
Do they help with noise and warmth?
Integrated Room Darkening blinds can reduce the amount of noise that filters into the room, and the pocketed honeycomb design makes them perfect for trapping air and adding to thermal insulation. Lowering the blind into its own channel behind the shutters at night adds to the room darkening benefit as well.
