Total Blackout Roller Blinds with Side Tracks
From $365.00 NZD — made to measure, delivered NZ-wide.
Blackout roller blinds that address light around the edges Blackout fabric is only part of the solution when you want a darker room. With a conventional roller blind, daylight can still enter through gaps between the fabric and the window recess. Our Total Blackout Roller Blinds combine blackout fabric with a full perimeter frame, including side tracks, to address those gaps. The framed system keeps the fabric guided within the opening and is designed to block light through the blind and around its edges when correctly measured and installed. A darker setting for bedrooms and media rooms Whether you want to limit early-morning light in a bedroom, darken a room for daytime rest or reduce unwanted daylight while watching a film, this system offers a framed alternative to a standard blackout roller blind. The surrounding frame gives the blind a neat, integrated appearance while helping keep the fabric in position during use. Made to measure for your window Each blind is made to your supplied dimensions. Choose a black or white frame to suit your window joinery and interior. Check the available recess space before ordering. Opening direction This blind opens from top to bottom. Side-to-side opening is also available by enquiry—contact our team at contact@bestblinds.co.nz to discuss your requirements. Why choose a fully framed blackout roller blind? Blackout fabric and a surrounding frame: designed to control light through the fabric and around its edges. Integrated side tracks: help guide and retain the fabric within the system. Made-to-measure sizing: manufactured for your specified window dimensions. Black or white frames: two options for coordinating with your interior. A neat framed finish: suitable for bedrooms, media rooms and other spaces where light control matters. The level of room darkness also depends on accurate fitting and other sources of light, such as doors or uncovered windows. Frame dimensions and recess requirements Cassette profile: 78 mm × 72 mm. Surrounding frame rails: 25 mm × 25 mm. A recess depth of 72 mm or more allows the cassette to sit fully within the window recess. The blind can also be fitted in a recess as shallow as 27 mm, with the cassette projecting beyond the recess. Frequently asked questions What is the difference between these and ordinary blackout roller blinds? Ordinary blackout roller blinds use fabric that blocks light, but gaps can remain around the edges. This system adds a full perimeter frame, including side tracks, to address light entering around the blind. Are these honeycomb blinds? No. This is a framed roller blind system, not a cellular or honeycomb blind. Its distinguishing feature is the combination of blackout fabric and a surrounding frame. Which frame colours are available? The frame is available in black or white. Can I order a side-to-side opening blind? Top-to-bottom opening is available to order online. For side-to-side opening, please enquire with our team at contact@bestblinds.co.nz . Browse all roller blinds to compare the available styles.
