Blackout blinds behind shutters
Blackout blinds behind shutters
Shutters and a separate blind can provide different layers of light control. A compact blind behind the panels may help where the shutter gaps admit more light than you want.
The existing shutter frame, louvres and hinges decide whether there is enough room. Hexacell Sliderscreen LITE and selected Mini arrangements can be assessed for this type of installation; photographs and measured clearances are essential.
Discuss your requirements

Look beyond the open recess
Check where the louvres sit at their deepest angle and how the shutter panels open. The proposed blind needs clearance from both moving parts and any projecting handle. There must also be a workable way to operate and maintain it.
Plan the light path
Opaque fabric alone will not close a gap around the shutter frame. We consider the proposed blind frame, perimeter sealing and any appropriate brushes with the fabric. The result depends on the whole opening, so a complete blackout promise is not made from a photograph.
Very pale frame components can transmit or reflect more light than darker arrangements. Discuss the appearance and darkening requirement together.
Send photos with the shutters open and closed
Include the full window, a close-up of the frame and the space behind a tilted louvre. Tell us whether the existing shutters must remain untouched. We assess the route before quoting any alterations.
