5 Benefits Of Blackout Blinds and Curtains

They Keep Out The Light

If you sleep better in total darkness, then blackout curtains and blinds are a fantastic choice. The nature of the fabric ensures that no light penetrates into the room, meaning it stays pitch black whether you’re heading to bed in the evening or enjoying a lie in.

Research has proven that exposure to light and darkness at appropriate times is important to regulating your body clock, therefore black out blinds and curtains should help you to get enough sleep no matter the time of year. As well as this, if you work nights, blinds and curtains that totally black out the daylight can help you enjoy a deep sleep even on the brightest days.

They Block Out Noise

The same technology which blocks out light can also keep outside noises at bay, too. So, if you live on a busy road (or just have noisy neighbours) then the addition of blackout blinds or curtains can make for more peaceful interiors. Sure, investing in brand new double glazed windows might do exactly the same thing, however blinds and curtains are much lighter on your pockets!

They Improve Thermal Efficiency

Thick window blinds or curtains can work to improve the thermal efficiency of your home, thus reducing your bills too! This is because they work to retain heat, especially when it’s cold outside, which is fantastic for the winter months. They even work well in summer too as you can keep them closed throughout the heat of the day to keep rooms cool.

They Give You Privacy

Blackout curtains and blinds can help to ensure your privacy, whether they’re used in the bedroom, living room or other room in the house. Blinds and curtains can also be made to measure, which means they fit perfectly to the size and shape of the area where they are hung. This means that not only can they stop light and draughts from getting into the room, but they can also ensure that passersby and nosy neighbours can’t see into your property.
