90% of blackouts we sell are roller blackout blinds the fabric or lining is completely blackout but you will get some light around the edges and top of the blind. This is also true for blackout Roman blinds, Vertical blackout blinds and Pleated blackout blinds.
Blackout blinds with a design or print will face into the room, some blackout blinds have a white lining facing the outside of the house but not all best to check with our office if you need to match in with other blinds from the outside.
What Type of lining is used on Roman Blinds?
Allof our roman blinds come fully lined and are available in three types Standard, Blackout and Interlined.
Standard: Helps to filter light and protect fabric from the effects of the sun
Blackout: Blocks out external light and gives and extra warmth and privacy.
Interling: Keeps your room warmer with a slightly padded lining, our most energy efficient option.

We have two types of mechanisms our deluxe system and our cleat and cord system. 99% of blinds are sold with the deluxe chain mechanism. The deluxe system is a side chain operated system which allows you to stop the blind in any position, the older system cleat and cord is raised and lowered by pulling the pull cords and holding them by rapping them around the side cleat usually affixed to the side wall or frame.

What types of Controls are used in Wooden or Faux Wooden blind?
Our wooden and faux wood blinds come with two pull cords to open and close the slats usually on the left hand side of the blind. To raise and lower the blind the pull cord is usually positioned on the right hand side as standard. We do not do any wand control wooden or faux wood blinds as they are to heavy and would break over time. Certain ranges for example Sherwood range we do have the option to put both controls on one side or reverse the pull and lift sides.

Aluminium Venetian blinds come with a wand control system usually on the left used to open and close the slats. To raise and lower Aluminium Venetian there is a pull cord on the right hand side which will come with child safety.

We have two types of controls for pleated blinds, Tab and cord and a free hang system. The free hang system works by pulling the side cord to raise and lower the blind similar to a venetian blind.
The tab and cord system uses a centre tab to pull up and down the blind with your hand and the blinds runs along to side cords which must be attached to the bottom of the window or door. Usually used on doors or tilt and turn windows.
What type of blinds is best for Kitchen or Bathrooms?
Faux wood blinds are pvc and are wipe able and moisture resistant, some roller blinds also come in pvc our Phonix and viva range do but please note both are blackout.
