Blackout shades are an optimal product for light blockage, energy efficiency, and maximum privacy at a minimum cost.

MAXIMUM DARKNESS

When placing an order for a blackout roller shade, another decision to be made will be whether to have an inside or outside mount. When a shade is installed as an outside mount, it is placed on the exterior side of the window frame and, as a result, more efficient in blocking off the light from passing through. This is because outside mounts cover more of the complete window; therefore, there are fewer chances for light to filter through.

Once you install your window roller shade, the opaque material will block a lot of light from coming into your space. However, some residual light seepage will peep through the gap between your window and blinds. The miracle fit light blocker is a great add-on feature for rooms requiring maximum darkness.
