Blackout blinds installed properly for maximum light blocking. Bedrooms, nurseries, home cinemas - fitted to work smoothly and block as much light as possible.
### Proper Darkness When You Need It
Shift worker? Light sleeper? Trying to get a toddler to nap? **Good blackout blinds are life-changing.** But they only work if they're fitted properly - too many gaps and you've just got an expensive normal blind.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** For maximum darkness, fit blackout blinds inside the window recess, not outside. You get less light leak around the edges, though the blind needs to be measured accurately to fit the space.

### Why Professional Fitting Matters
The difference between "pretty dark" and "actually dark" is all in the fitting:
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Fitted tight to recess - minimal light leak | Gaps all around letting light flood in | | Brackets level - blind rolls straight | Wonky - catches on one side | | Smooth rolling action | Sticks and jams every time | | Chain hangs freely and safely | Tangled, too long, kid hazard |

### What You Get
**🔧 The Full Service**

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Multiple rooms?** Doing several bedrooms with blackout blinds? Book them all together - I'm already set up with tools and fixings, so it's more efficient than separate visits. **Child safety is critical.** Any cords or chains need to be out of reach or fitted with safety devices. I take this seriously - strangulation risk is real. I'll make sure everything is safe before I leave. **Perfect fit for nurseries.** Blackout blinds make daytime naps so much easier. I fit loads in nurseries and kids' bedrooms across Exeter. Just make sure the blind is cordless or has breakaway safety features.
Frequently Asked Questions about Blackout blind installation in Teignmouth
How do you stop light coming around the edges?
That's the trick with blackout blinds - you need them fitted as close to the window as possible, ideally in the recess if there is one. I measure carefully and position brackets to minimise gaps. Some light leak is inevitable with any blind, but proper fitting makes a huge difference.
Can you fit blackout blinds in a nursery?
Yes - blackout blinds are brilliant for nurseries (daytime naps are much easier in a dark room!). I make sure cords are safely out of reach and use breakaway safety features where available. Safety first with kids' rooms.
Do I need to buy the blind first?
Yes - measure your window width and drop first, then buy a blind to fit. If you're not sure whether to fit inside the recess or outside, send me photos and I can advise. Inside recess blocks more light but needs accurate measuring.
Will it work with my tilted windows?
Standard roller blinds don't work well on angled windows (they sag). You might need a different style like a roof blind or pleated blind. Send me a photo and I'll tell you what will actually work.
How dark will the room actually be?
Proper blackout fabric blocks nearly all light coming through the blind itself. You'll still get some light around the edges unless you have perfect recesses. Think 'cinema dark' rather than 'cave dark' - good enough for sleeping and watching films.
