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.

I am the recent recipient of motorized shades from Louver Shop Shutters of Pensecola. Jeb made it incredibly easy to choose from all the samples of colors and styles he brought to my home. We were able to match exactly a paint color on my sliding glass doors! When the installer came, he treated my home with the utmost respect! He worked quickly and had my shades working in no time at all. He explained how to use the remote controls and I was using them like a pro before he left! I couldn’t be happier to have had Louver Shop and Jeb install my shades! It’s been such a pleasure for me to be able to sleep late with the blackout shades and have more privacy with the regular shades. Thank you so very much!!!

Reliable, dependable, and affordable. I'm on my 3rd home and have had them install plantation shutters at all three. So it's been multiple decades of using their service.

Gary came to our home in East Coast of Delaware to present his products for our home. Gary is very knowledgeable and his background shows that he is a Technician. We purchased Shutters and Darkening Shades. The materials are a good quality and the installation was professional. His assistant was a good Technician as well and I’ve recommended him to a Neighbor that is building a home in Philadelphia. I will continue to recommend him and your company…

I worked with Megan and her husband from The Louver Shop a few years ago. They did a great job with my bedroom blinds. I had one problem that they corrected right away. I liked the personal touch that they have with their customers.

Megan and Cory are very friendly. Showed us several options for our windows, came up with solutions for our sliding door, gave recommendations for cost saving. Sent us a quote, gave us time to think about what we wanted. No pressure, just information. Came back to install, made sure they fit, that we knew how to use them. Would use again if needed. A little pricey, but done right.
