Blackout Shutters
If you’re a light sleeper, work night shifts or just love a dark, cosy space, blackout shutters could be exactly what you’re after. They combine the timeless style of plantation shutters with an added layer of blackout protection, helping you block out light, reduce noise and enjoy a better night’s sleep.
At Sublime Shutters, we design and fit made-to-measure blackout shutters for homes across Stockport, Greater Manchester and Cheshire.
What Are Blackout Shutters?
Blackout shutters look just like our regular shutter styles on the outside, but there’s a clever difference on the inside. Behind each shutter panel sits an integrated blackout blind that fits snugly against the window. When both the shutters and the blind are closed, you get near-total darkness which is far more effective than curtains or standard shutters alone.
They’re especially popular in bedrooms where light control is essential, but they also work brilliantly in nurseries, home cinemas and rooms that face busy streets. The extra layer not only blocks light but helps with insulation and noise reduction too.
Why Choose Blackout Shutters?
For anyone who struggles with early morning sunlight or who needs to sleep during the day, blackout shutters are a game-changer. They create a dark, quiet environment that makes it easier to switch off and get proper rest. Parents love them for children’s rooms and nurseries because they help keep nap times peaceful. For anyone working night shifts, they’re an essential upgrade that turns a bright room into a calm retreat.
As well as offering complete light control, blackout shutters are great for managing temperature and sound. The combined layers help keep your room warm in winter and cool in summer.
Made to Measure for the Perfect Fit
We don’t believe in almost-right. Every blackout shutter we install is made to measure for your exact window, ensuring a seamless fit with no gaps and no unwanted light creeping through. During your free consultation, we’ll measure up, show you all the available options and guide you through the process from start to finish.
Once you’re happy with the design, our fitters will return to carry out a clean, professional installation that respects your space.
Why They Work So Well
What makes blackout shutters so effective is the clever combination of two solutions in one. You get the visual appeal and durability of classic shutters, plus the added benefit of a blackout blind that fits perfectly behind them. When open, the shutters still let in all the light and create a bright, airy feel. When closed, the blackout layer steps in to transform the room into a calm, private sanctuary.
They’re easy to use, simple to maintain and give you the kind of control over your environment that other window coverings just can’t match. We’ve seen them work wonders for shift workers, families with young kids and anyone who simply values a peaceful night’s sleep
Finishes to Match Your Space
Blackout shutters come in the same wide range of finishes as our other shutter styles. If you love bright whites and soft greys for a clean, modern feel, we’ve got you covered. If you prefer warmer tones or a more traditional look, we’ve got those too. The integrated blackout layer stays hidden when not in use, so you never lose the beauty of your shutters during the day.
