Blackout & Blockout Indoor Blinds Perth – The Ultimate Guide to Light Control & Privacy
Whether you want to block harsh sunlight in the afternoon or create a completely dark space for sleeping, blockout and blackout blinds offer the ultimate solution for light control. In Perth, where sunlight can be intense and days long, these blinds are an essential window treatment for bedrooms, media rooms, nurseries, and shift workers.
At Innovative Blinds WA, we specialise in supplying and installing indoor blinds across Western Australia, including high-performance blockout and blackout options that deliver privacy, comfort, and thermal protection.
What Are Blockout and Blackout Blinds?
Though the terms are often used interchangeably, they can refer to slightly different levels of light control:
- Blockout blinds are made with thick, opaque fabric designed to stop light from passing through the material. However, small light gaps may still occur at the sides unless paired with pelmets or side channels.
- Blackout blinds aim to eliminate all light by combining blockout fabrics with full-coverage installation (such as cassette systems and side tracks).
At Innovative Blinds WA, we supply a variety of blockout roller blinds, Roman blinds, and layered solutions that allow you to control light and privacy to suit your lifestyle.
