Free Home survey & quote 7 days Open 8am–8pm Local Based in Ludlow Made To measure Owner Surveyed & fitted The service ## What it is, who it's for, and why it matters ### What it is Made-to-measure blinds using blackout fabrics that block light passing through the blind, available as roller, Roman and other styles. ### Who it's for Bedrooms, nurseries, shift workers, home cinemas and anyone who wakes too early on light summer mornings. ### When to specify it When light is disturbing sleep, or when a room needs to be dark during the day. ### Why professional matters Blackout performance depends as much on fit as on fabric. Accurate measuring keeps edge gaps to a minimum. What goes wrong ## Get the spec wrong and it costs you more than the original install Blackout fabric on its own doesn't make a room dark if the blind is the wrong size or fitted in the wrong place. ### Real risks if ignored - Light around the edges can still wake light sleepers and children. - Early summer sunrises disrupt sleep routines. - Streetlights and headlights keep rooms from ever feeling fully dark. ### Common spec mistakes - Fitting inside a recess without allowing for light gaps. - Choosing a dim-out fabric when true blackout is needed. - Using corded blinds in children's rooms. We'll advise whether to fit inside or outside the recess to give you the darkest result for your window.
