Whether you need to darken the bedrooms of your Fort Myers home with room darkening blinds, or you want to block the intense Florida sunshine coming in your windows, we have high performance fabrics and operating systems to make it easy.
- LightLock frames the room darkening shade in the window, sealing out the light. The only time you have light entering is when you open the shades.

Sleep in on Saturday, or take a midday nap on Sunday. Room darkening shades work great in media spaces, or anywhere the intensity of the sun gets to be too much at certain times of day.

Room Darkening VS Blackout
While you may not realize it, there IS a difference between room darkening shades and blackout shades. It’s the details that matter. Room darkening is explained as “most” of the light removed from the room, while blackout makes it hard to see in front of you. The fabrics you choose can affect this, the type of window blinds you select, as well as the way the window coverings are mounted on your windows.
Dual Shades
The dual shades feature has quickly become a favorite in the world of room darkening blinds and shades. The reason? It allows products, like silhouette shades and solar shades, to finally offer a blackout shades experience. It’s increases the range of light control from light filtering to blackout–which is pretty incredible. You can enjoy soft natural light during the day, through the front shade. Then, when you want darkness, you lower the secondary blackout roller shade down. It’s custom darkness delivered!
Light Gaps
Side light gaps can be an issue that interferes, even when you have room darkening blinds. The edges have a “halo” of light glowing through. The reason this happens can be due to the type of window blinds you’ve chosen–how tight of a fit is allowed. It can also be the result of the kind of mounting process. Inside mount will normally have a better result than outside mount, depending on your windows. Two ways to combat light gaps? Blackout curtains placed at the sides of the window can block light. The LightLock system of blackout shades installs a U-channel into the frame, sealing out the outside light.
