When it comes to roller shades, the fabric opacity is generally divided into "light filtering" (which provides privacy will still letting some ambient light pass through the shade) and "blackout" (where no light can pass through the shade fabric).  The fabric on our Room Darkening roller shades is in between! These shades block between 90-99% of the incoming light to significantly darken the room without being completely blackout. This shade material features a white backing that minimizes light passing through the shade. And the darker the shade color, the more light is blocked! Customize your Room Darkening Roller Shade with your choice of lift system, cassette valance option and more.  

Get to know this shade:

• Shade fabric is high-quality polyester with an acrylic thermal backing that is white to the street
• Room darkening fabric blocks 90-99% of incoming light; darker colors block progressively more light
• Plain bottom hem for a simple, clean look
• Includes spring roller cordless or beaded chain lift option, or upgrade to Cordless Precision Lock or motorized lift

Why you'll love this shade:

• Provides complete privacy and significant room darkening (but not completely blackout)
• Select the perfect operating system for your window, including beaded chain, two different cordless options and even motorized lift
• Motorized lift options provides effortless operation via remote control, plus the optional Smart Hub connects your shades to home automation systems!
• Cordless Precision Lock provides effortless height adjustment – just push up or pull down on the shade (no extra tugs required!)
• Optional cassette valance hides the roller tube and installation brackets at the top of the shade and provides a finished look
• Complies with all current cord safety regulations

Key considerations:

• The fabric portion of the shade will be about 1 1/2" narrower than ordered width due to the control mechanisms and brackets at the top (widest part) of the shade
• Some indirect light may be visible around the edges of the shade, but the shade will block nearly all incoming light from passing through the fabric
• The white backing of the shade material will be visible on shades with standard roll orientation and no cassette; consider adding the cassette option to cover the roll at the top of the shade
• This shade connects to home automation systems via Hub-A only. Any Blindster shades that are compatible with Hub-A can be connected to home automation with a single Hub-A device. Shades that are listed with a different version hub cannot be controlled with Hub-A.
