Control The Light With Window Treatments That Darken The Room

Blackout window treatments are shutters, blinds, or shades designed to restrict light from entering a room. Blinds and shades are typically made of a thick, heavy fabric lined with an opaque material. This combination of materials helps to prevent light from passing through the fabric, creating a dark and peaceful environment in the room. Shutters are made of wood or polymer that naturally provide a light-blocking function.

Common Types of Blackout Window Treatments

Shutters, blinds, and shades work differently to block out light, but they all share the same goal of creating a dark and comfortable space.

Best Applications for Room Darkening Window Treatments

Blackout window treatments are most commonly used in rooms where complete darkness is desired, such as bedrooms and home theaters. They are also often used in nurseries, to help create a dark and peaceful environment for infants to sleep in during the day.

Bedrooms

In bedrooms, blackout window treatments are ideal for blocking out light from street lamps, car headlights, and other sources, which can disrupt sleep and make it difficult for people to fall asleep. Blackout window treatments can also help to keep a room cool by blocking out the sun’s rays, which can reduce the need for air conditioning during the summer months.

Home Theaters

Home theaters also benefit from blackout window treatments, as they help to create a dark and immersive viewing experience. The complete darkness allows for better contrast and overall image quality, making movies and TV shows look more cinematic.

Nurseries

In nurseries, blackout window treatments can be used to create a dark and peaceful environment for infants to sleep during the day, which can help to regulate their sleep patterns and promote healthy growth.

Other Rooms

Blackout window treatments can also be used in other areas of the home such as home offices, where having a dark room can help to reduce glare on computer screens and make it easier to focus on work. They can also be used in media rooms, where complete darkness is needed to fully appreciate the visuals and sounds of movies, TV shows, or video games.

I love my custom plantation-style interior shutters. I chose the wood shutters with invisible opening mechanism, painted white. My house is over 100 years old, still with original windows and trim. The shutters were installed in one day and are beautiful -- just what my home deserved. The salesman and the installer where great to work with, efficient and did a fantastic job. With summer sun on the way, this is a great investment in keeping my house cool and upgrading its value. Couldn't be happier!

I’d like to share my wonderful experience with Louver Shop Savannah. I had my condo done with plantation shutters about 7 years ago. The installation went smoothly and I’ve been very happy with my decision in contracting Ryan Belfry’s company. I was having a problem with one of the shutters closing & contacted Ryan. Although I was beyond the warranty period; he came by and helped get my shutter closed despite it being a settling problem with my unit. That’s customer service! Ryan stands behind his word and his work ethic is outstanding. Thank you Ryan - you’re a gem! Melissa Teske

You definitely want to hire Gary Loconsole for your window treatments. Gary and his wife Laura go above and beyond to help you make the right decisions in terms of design and price tradeoffs. Also Gary is a trained carpenter and makes sure the job is done right with craftsmanship. They were very communicative and helpful for our new home. You won’t regret working with this team to bring your home and windows to the next level.

I had all of my windows replaced in my home. Once that job was complete I decided I wanted plantation style shutters on all the windows on the front of my home. I had a friend recommended The Louver Shop as she had used them for her plantation shutters several years before. I contacted The Louver Shop and spoke with Rene. She explained that she could set an appointment for Donnie to come out and measure and go over the options that would be available. Stephen arrived promptly at the appointment time. Stephen explained the different options and sizes. He measured and was able to give a price during his visit. He stated that it would take approximately 6 weeks for the shutters to be custom manufactured and installed. To my total surprise at about the 4 week mark Rene called and said that she was ready to set up my installation date. That was yesterday May 15! John and John arrived with the shutters. After unloading them and placing them at each window they began the installation. Those men were true craftsman! They were not only professional but speedy. They had all 8 windows installed, caulked and completed in no more than 45 minutes!! The shutters are absolutely stunning!! I could not be more pleased!! From my first contact with The Louver Shop to completion, the entire process was completely seamless! Thank you!!!

I've had my remote shade now for a couple of weeks. I absolutely love it. I'm so glad I went with the remote model. This is the first time I've used Louver Shop and I will use them again. The whole process from start to finish was seamless. Great customer service and prompt service. You can't go wrong with these guys.
