Description
The Window Blockout, reusable and constructed with static-cling technology, offers a comprehensive blackout effect beneficial to babies and toddlers who require total darkness in their bedroom while they slumber. This pitch-black environment helps to promote melatonin secretion, providing a comforting and conducive environment to rest as well as hindering premature awakening and/or delayed sleep onset during seasonal changes.
Our baby black out blind is made from 3 layers of material with a completely opaque inner layer to block 100% of sunlight from rooms. The outer layers are white to seamlessly and stylishly blend in with your child’s sleep space. The inward-facing side of the blind will block out the light, and the outward-facing side will reflect light away from your windows, helping to regulate the room’s temperature for a more comfortable sleep.
The Window Blockout is a static-cling blind meaning it adheres with static and not adhesive. No sticky residue will be left on your windows, and the blind can be used again and again without losing its stickiness! Being reusable means you can remove the Window Blockout during 'awake' times to let the sunlight in, and simply reapply at nap time to block the light out. This feature also makes them portable blinds! Simply roll or fold for storage when not in use.
The Window Blockout comes in a roll. Simply measure your windows, cut to size and apply to the panes of your windows. Windows can be opened and closed as usual.
The blackout blind is best suited for single or double-glazed glass windows in a nursery or any room of the house. It is not suitable for frosted windows, windows with a non-smooth surface or privacy glass or plastic.
Please measure your windows before purchasing to know how many rolls you will need.
How To Use
- Measure the width and length of your window.
- Add 2CM to each measurement and cut sheets to appropriate size. This will ensure you don't accidentally under-cut and end up with a gap.
- Using a spray bottle or a damp cloth, apply water to the window.
- Peel the blockout from the storage sheet.
- Gently apply the shiny side of the blockout to the window at the desired height, and smooth the rest of the sheet down with your hand or a credit card.
Air bubbles? Don’t stress, simply peel off and apply again.
How to Remove: Gently remove the sheet by peeling it towards you, away from the window. You can fold or roll for storage to be reused again and again. Ensure blind and window are both clean when reapplying.
Tip: For windows with direct sunlight for most of the day the Window Blockout needs to work a little harder to stick to the window. We recommend to cut the blockouts a few cms more than what is needed. These steps will ensure that light doesn't sneak through any gaps & the blockouts stay on the window. Additionally, apply more water to the window prior to placing the Window Blockout.
