Blackout Alternating Shades

BLACKOUT ALTERNATING SHADES
Designed using a dual layer fabric with transparent and non-transparent stripes, our Blackout Alternating Shade's design allows for a seamless transition from open to close, producing various levels of privacy and light in your home, depending on your needs. When paired with one of our blackout fabrics, your new alternating shade will have room darkening functionalities, making them ideal for bedrooms or home theaters.

ROOM DARKENING FABRICS
Room darkening fabrics diffuse incoming daylight and darken a room, making them an ideal solution for rooms in which privacy is required.

DESIGN
Our Blackout Alternating Shades feature a sleek aluminum cassette headrail. Choose between a round or square design, depending on your home's interior decor.

Q: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROOM DARKENING AND BLACKOUT BLINDS?
A: The main difference between blackout and room darkening shades is the level of light blocking. Blackout shades are usually made using vinyl materials, blocking 100% of incoming light, while room darkening shades are designed to block most, but not all, of the light that comes into the room. If you require total darkness to sleep, we recommend adding a blackout roller shade in back of your alternating shade.

Q: DO ALTERNATING SHADES BLOCK LIGHT?
A: Alternating Shades are available in many light filtering and room darkening options. Fabric customization allows you to control how much light enters your room, from soft, translucent glows to dim out. However, since alternating shades are made with translucent fabrics, they will not enable complete light blockage.

Q: WILL ALTERNATING SHADES BLOCK MY VIEW?
Alternating Shades can be raised fully to allow an unobstructed view. You can customize your level of privacy and light control by tilting your shade to your desired height.
