Blackout Blinds in Handsworth
Darkness and beauty are not opposites. A blackout fabric carries a coating or a dense lining that stops daylight travelling through the weave, and in Handsworth we use it in rollers, in lined Romans, in pleated blinds and inside perfect fit frames, choosing whichever suits the character of the room.
Rooms that suit blackout blinds around Handsworth
Tall sash bedrooms around Handsworth Wood often suit a richly patterned Roman with a blackout interlining, so the window looks dressed by day and sleeps well by night. Night-shift workers near the Perry Barr end of B20 tend to want the plainest, darkest answer, which is usually a roller hung on the wall with a wide margin past the frame. Clip-in frames on uPVC narrow the light gaps further still.
Expect a faint glow around the margins whichever style you choose; even the best fit leaves a whisker of light. Blackout rollers and lined Romans can fall within our bundle prices if the windows qualify, which the fitter confirms on the day, while pleated and clip-in blackout blinds are priced individually after measuring.
Shade choice changes the mood. Ivory blackout cloth stops the light just as well as charcoal, yet the room feels a fraction brighter and the window looks fresher from outside. Deep plums and inky blues give a cocooned feel, lovely in a teenager’s room.
Pair a plain blackout roller with full-length curtains in a bold print and you have the best of both: the curtains provide colour and frame the window, the roller does the night-time work out of sight. In nurseries we favour cordless styles or fixed tensioners.

Common questions
Can blackout be patterned?
Yes. Blackout-lined Romans come in many patterned fabrics, and plain blackout rollers can sit discreetly behind decorative curtains.
How dark will the room get?
Very dark, though a faint line of light around the edges is normal with any blind. Overlap and perfect fit frames reduce it.
Which blackout blinds can use the bundle prices?
Rollers and lined Romans, if your windows fall within the offer sizes and fabrics. The fitter confirms on the day.
