The UK's largest online showroom for shutters and blinds, packed with helpful information and expert advice.
A common question from customers is "How much light do shutters let in?" This is being asked more frequently with the increase in shift workers trying to sleep during the day and summer mornings waking people too early! It's becoming far more important to be able to keep light out whenever required.
With this in mind www.opennshut.co.uk designed their new interior 'Blackout Shutter' range to specifically block out light via a unique 'double-effect' barrier of both wooden shutter and blackout blind.
This new range incorporates a modern blackout blind fitting tightly behind the window shutters, allowing it to be pulled down any time, night or day, when you require complete blackout, yet neatly stacked away when wishing to let in the light to its fullest. When raised the blind is not visible, as it sits out of sight within the shutter frame.
The new interior Blackout Shutter frame is slightly deeper than a normal frame and can be used with all three louvre sizes. Medium size louvers being the most popular.
The advantage of the Blackout Shutter is you still maintain the stylish look and feel of wooden interior window shutters. This means the end of ugly blackout roller blinds and heavy, thick dark curtains.
A discrete white blind blending in with the white shutters provides a new modern look. They are very easy to fit and equally simple to maintain.
Blackout shutters are ideal in the bedroom for those who need to sleep during daylight hours, for those who find the light wakes them early in the morning during summer, a childs room where complete darkness helps them to sleep and opennshut would particularly recommend blackout shutters for east or south facing bedrooms.
Though a new line, Blackout Shutters are already proving to be an extremely popular addition to the opennshut website products range.
Ordering is simple! You just need your width and height measurements, enter these in the order form and select the Blackout Shutters from the pull down menu option. It couldn't be easier!
If you prefer the more basic options, you can just as easily order standard blackout roller blinds and blackout duette blinds from the 'Blinds' section on the website.
However, if you like to have the latest look and get ahead of the neighbours, then you will love the new Blackout Shutter!
