href=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/shades\/roller-shades\">Blackout roller shades<\/a> are a great choice to make your home attractive, warm and inviting. Blackout shades are specifically designed to prevent virtually all outside light from entering into a room. They are constructed of fabric that is tightly woven and often multi-layered. Most blackout roller shade and blind products can filter out more than 90% of the outside light from passing through.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5807\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5807\" style=\"width: 487px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/product2\/roller-shade-light-filtering?prcid=6453801\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5807 size-full\" title=\"roller-shade-blackout-hudson\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/roller_blackout.jpg\" alt=\"Blackout Roller Shades from The Shade Store, in Hudson Parchment\" width=\"487\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/roller_blackout.jpg 487w, https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/roller_blackout-254x300.jpg 254w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 487px) 100vw, 487px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5807\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">as shown: roller shade | hudson | parchment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Places to Use Blackout Roller Shades<\/h2>\n<p>There are many areas in a home that can benefit from the presence of blackout roller shades. Most commonly used in bedrooms, family rooms and media rooms, as the roller shades block out unwanted sunlight or artificial exterior lights.\u00a0\u00a0 This type of window shade can also stop unwanted glare on television screens, computer monitors or reflective surfaces in your home or office.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5804\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5804\" style=\"width: 593px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/product2\/roller-shade-light-filtering?prcid=6453801\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5804 size-full\" title=\"blackout-roller-shade-hudson-indigo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1779_bo-680.jpg\" alt=\"Blackout Roller Shade by The Shade Store, in Hudson Indigo\" width=\"593\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1779_bo-680.jpg 593w, https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1779_bo-680-262x300.jpg 262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5804\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">as shown: roller shade | hudson | indigo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Blackout Roller Shade Energy Efficiency<\/h2>\n<p>Another distinct advantage of using blackout roller shades is the energy efficiency savings they provide. Blackout roller shades are made of thicker material than normal shades. They absorb the loss of heat inside your home and reduce unwanted cool drafts from around windows. Having blackout roller shades will help to better maintain a constant temperature inside your home all year round.<\/p>\n<h2>Reducing Outside Noise with Blackout Roller Shades<\/h2>\n<p>Additionally, blackout roller shade materials have higher noise absorption characteristics than basic window shades. The heavy material tends to act as a natural dampener, reducing the level of outside noise penetrating your room.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5805\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5805\" style=\"width: 593px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/product2\/roller-shade-light-filtering?prcid=6453801\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5805 size-full\" title=\"blackout-roller-shade-flocke-wheat\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/flocke-\u2022-wheat.jpg\" alt=\"Blackout Roller Shades by The Shade Store, in Flocke Wheat\" width=\"593\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/flocke-\u2022-wheat.jpg 593w, https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/flocke-\u2022-wheat-262x300.jpg 262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5805\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">as shown: roller shade | flocke | wheat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Selecting Your Blackout Roller Shades<\/h2>\n<p>Blackout roller shades can be custom created to the exact window opening dimensions and specifications you need.
