When it comes to privacy and light control, two options stand out: Blockout and Dual Roller Blinds. But which one is best for your space?

Let’s break it down to help you make the right call for your home.

Blockout Blinds: Simple and Effective

Blockout blinds are made from thick, opaque fabric that completely blocks out light and outside views. They’re perfect if you want total privacy or a dark room to sleep, relax, or watch TV.

Ideal for:

• Bedrooms
• Nurseries
• Theatre/media rooms
• Street-facing windows

Key Benefits:

• Full privacy (day & night)
• Blocks sunlight, heat, and glare
• Helps regulate room temperature

Tip: Go with textured blockout fabric if you want a softer, more stylish look.

Dual Roller Blinds: The Best of Both Worlds

Dual roller blinds combine two blinds in one—usually a screen blind and a blockout blind on the same window. You can switch between letting light in during the day and getting full privacy at night.

Ideal for:

• Living rooms
• Home offices
• Multi-use spaces
• Rooms with varying light needs

Key Benefits:

• Screen blind for daytime light + outside views
• Blockout blind for night-time privacy and darkness
• Flexible and modern

Tip: Choose a neutral screen and a darker blockout for contrast and function.
