Product Guidance
Are night and day blinds a good choice?
Night and day blinds, with their innovative dual-layered design, are a fantastic choice for windows and doors throughout your home. Crafted by our expert team, these blinds offer unparalleled versatility, allowing you to control both light and privacy with precision. Rotate the layers for gentle, diffused light, or align them for a solid barrier, ensuring complete privacy.
Can you see through day and night blinds from outside?
The visibility through day and night blinds from outside depends on the position of the dual layers. When the sheer and opaque panels are aligned, creating a solid barrier, these blinds provide privacy. However, when the panels are rotated to allow diffused light, some visibility may be possible.
Do day and night blinds keep the cold out?
Because day and night blinds are made using alternating strips of opaque (thicker) and sheer (thinner) fabric, they are not the most effective type of thermal window coverings. Closing day and night blinds enhances their insulating properties somewhat, as the entire surface of your window will be covered by the thicker nighttime material.
Still, if insulation is a top priority for you when looking for blinds, we recommend choosing from our collection of thermal blinds. These are crafted using specially engineered materials that are highly effective at trapping heat inside your home. Alternatively, you can pair day and night blinds with thermal curtains to maximise the insulating effect.
Can you fully open day and night blinds?
Yes, you can roll the blinds fully open as you would with roller blinds when you want to maximise the amount of light coming through the window.

Can you help me measure my windows for day and night blinds?
