Control The Light With Window Treatments That Darken The Room

Room darkening window shutters, shades, and blinds are 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 Room Darkening 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 shutters, blinds, and shades 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.

Representative was responsive and helpful. Let me know what was happening and great job installing my blinds. I also had some existing shutters repaired as I didn’t know what brand they were when we moved in and he ordered and replaced the damaged ones.Would highly recommend this business to anyone.

We have used Bill and The Louver Shop for over ten years in several of our homes. The plantation shutters we purchase give each room that finished and classic look we prefer. However, their other products look equally appealing. The fact that Bill is such a hard working and kind representative of the company is icing on the cake.

If you're looking for custom window coverings, you should definitely contact Louver Shop Shutters. We needed window coverings for our new home. Owner Megan Turpin and her husband, Corbin, came to our home and gave us lots of options to choose from. They gave their honest assessment of the different brands they carry. There was no pressure to purchase a particular brand or to purchase from them. We selected what we wanted and they measured all the windows and went over all the details to make sure the order was correct. A few weeks later, they installed our new blinds. We had chosen zebra roller shades which have dark and light strips of material that can be aligned to block the sun or allow partial sun. They're unique and we llove the way they look. I highly recommend Louver Shop!
