How dark does a Roman blind with blackout fabric get?

With a blackout weave your room becomes considerably darker — the fabric itself lets practically no light through. A fine rim of light remains at the horizontal folds and at the sides of the window. That is part of how a Roman blind is built and is not a defect.

Is a blackout Roman blind enough for a bedroom?

Als Innenarchitekt habe ich Vinelly für ein Kundenprojekt mit der Innenbeschattung und den Teppichen beauftragt. Bei Herrn Maiko Reiner war das Projekt in den besten Händen: Die Beratung war hervorragend, und die Lieferung sowie Montage erfolgten absolut fristgerecht und sauber. Für mich als Planer ist diese Zuverlässigkeit Gold wert. Ich werde künftig definitiv wieder mit Vinelly zusammenarbeiten und kann die Firma wärmstens empfehlen!

Frequently asked questions

Blackout Roman blinds — what you should know

How dark does a blackout Roman blind really get? +

A blackout weave lets practically no light through itself — the room becomes noticeably darker. But because a Roman blind hangs freely in horizontal folds in front of the window, a fine rim of light remains at the folds and at the sides. If you want it pitch dark, we hang a blackout roller blind behind it as well — the Roman blind stays as the attractive layer in front.

May I simply do this as a tenant? +

The price is determined by Does a Roman blind without drilling really hold? out. That is why I do not quote from-prices but measure at your place first — after that everything is set out in a fixed quote: fabric, measurements, installation. Measuring is free of charge.

Fabric, measurements and mechanism determine the price. After measuring you receive a fixed quote. Measuring is free.

How long is the warranty? +

5 years on the mechanism (directly from LEHA), 2 years on blackout fabric and installation. If the pull sticks or a fold hangs crooked, we come by free of charge within that time.

What happens if something isn’t right? +

Blackout qualities from LEHA and JAB Anstoetz — they stand up to the sun and stay colourfast for years, even at a south-facing window. free of charge by fitting to the wall or ceiling.

How long does delivery take? +

As soon as the fabric and measurements are confirmed, your blackout Roman blind goes to the workroom. The current delivery time is shown at the top of the page; we then arrange the installation date as you wish.

Made-to-measure Roman blinds — soft folds +

When raised, the fabric gathers into soft folds — decorative and made to measure.

To the right Roman blind without drilling +

A standard Roman blind dims the light pleasantly but does not black out completely — light comes through at the edge of the folds and at the sides. For a really dark room you need a blackout fabric or a combination with a blackout roller blind behind it.

What a Roman blind achieves in terms of blackout +

We promise nothing the product cannot deliver: a Roman blind dims beautifully but does not black out completely. How dark it gets depends on the fabric — and can be increased considerably with the right combination. A standard Roman blind dims the light pleasantly and takes away the brightness. For a subdued atmosphere that is quite enough — for complete darkness it is not. With a blackout fabric Roman blinds without drilling: clamp brackets on the window sash instead of holes in the frame. I check on site whether it will hold on your window — free of charge throughout the canton of Zurich.

How dark does a Roman blind get — and how do you get it darker? +

Children's room Roman blind — then the heat never gets into the room in the first place.. It dims the light and creates a subdued, homely mood — for a living room in the evening that is ideal. But because the fabric settles into soft folds and hangs freely in front of the window, some residual light always comes through at the edge of the folds and at the sides. If you want it darker, there are two ways to get there. The first: a blackout fabricAs soon as the fabric and measurements are confirmed, your Roman blind goes to the workroom. The current delivery time is shown at the top of the page; I schedule the installation date to fit your family life. combine the Roman blind with a blackout roller blind behind it. The roller blind does the blacking out, the Roman blind stays as the attractive textile layer in front. That way you get both — decoration and a dark room.

Roman blinds for blackout — what you should know +

Does the clamp bracket sit securely? Blackout fabric, window size and mechanism. Residual light comes through at the edge of the folds and at the sides. For a dark room, choose a blackout fabric or combine the Roman blind with a blackout roller blind behind it. Yes. A blackout fabric itself lets hardly any light through and makes the room considerably darker. A fine rim of light at the edge of the folds and at the sides remains by design — but the room is noticeably darker. Most reliably with a Combination: a Blackout roller blind behind the Roman blind. The roller blind does the blacking out, the Roman blind stays as the decorative layer in front — so you get both the look and a dark room.
