Blackout shutters and their benefits
Our bedroom is the one room in our homes that is our sanctuary, it is where we go to switch off and recover from the day through sleep and relaxation. Whilst Plantation shutters look fantastic and complement your home’s decor they should also serve that room’s purpose. To fully achieve a restful night’s sleep, or if you are a night worker and need to be able to sleep during the day, you want to be able to restrict the amount of light coming into the room.
So to answer your next question “can shutters be blackout?” The answer is yes. Wooden Shutters alone are not enough to provide a complete blackout, you need to have the addition of room-darkening blinds behind the shutter panels. Our range of blackout shutters are the perfect window treatments for your bedroom, they are fitted with lined honeycomb blinds to seal any gaps in the window shutter that may allow light to leak through.
What blinds can be used for blackout shutters
Pleated blackout blinds are the best recommendation for blackout shutters, during the day they retract upwards to the top of the window neatly, hidden by your top window frame so it is invisible from the outside. Another frequently asked question about blackout blinds is “do blackout blinds keep heat in?” Our perfect-fit pleated blinds are actually one of our popular choices for a thermal window dressing, helping to insulate your home by sitting tight within your window frame, preventing heat from escaping but also creating another layer of insulation.
So as well as being a blackout option to work either on their own or behind a shutter panel, they can help with insulation too! Pleated Blinds are perfect for blackout shutters for bay windows but if you have a flat window, you can opt for roller blinds with a full block-out fabric. Having a roller blind fitted behind your plantation shutters is simpler as you only have the one blind to operate and again tucked away at the top of the window.
