These blinds are very easy to cut and stick up and they block out all the sun completely ! We bought one each for our kids rooms and got one for our own room as well – can highly recommend
I’m in a rented flat and one of the bedroom blinds lets in way too much sunlight, waking me up at 5am (since it’s summer!)
So I wanted a temporary solution. I cut a piece out of the (HUGE) piece of material to fit the window, stuck it up with the round adhesives, and hey presto! It’s been up for a week so far, and there’s been no problems.
You get loads of sticky pads, loads of material, and for some reason, mine also came with velcro strips, but i didn’t use them. Really worth the money!
I got this to blackout my bedroom window as I need to get up early and being woken up earlier by dawn wasn’t helping. I can now sleep through till my alarm. It would have been nice to have this as removable but the sticky discs are sticky and keep it up.
I had a roller blind for my bay windows. The sun light was still coming through early morning. Once this is fitted the room is dark enough to sleep well especially for kids. You can’t see much on the photos thats because its so dark.
Total black out, comes in a large sheet for you to cut to your desires dimensions (razer included to aid cutting). It is sleek and totally black so fits any asthetic.
It has good thermal qualities, keeps heat in, in winter and keeps heat out in summer.
It came with small double sided clear adhesion disks which I have not had to replace since I’ve started using it.
Personally I would have preferred a velcro adhesion to make taking it off during the day less of a challenge as sometimes the disks would be left behind on the surface it was affixed to or, when you fold the sheet up for storage, the disks get stuck to the folded sheet (this isn’t a real breaker though as it comes apart easily and the tackiness remains).
It also has a really handy storage bag!
Great product and plenty of sticky disks provided.
If using the cutter provided make sure that each side of the cut line is kept right and it will glide through effortlessly.
This product checks all the boxes: Blocks light completely, lightweight, easy to install, great adhesive tapes, no holes, no smell.
(Small note on the nano tapes: At first I thought they were one-sided and the product was faulty; but they are indeed two-sided, you’ll just need to peel off the thin cover. This is the first time I’ve used nano tapes, and they are amazing!)
I was surprised how well this product worked. Definitely cuts out all the light. I’ve used mine on a high up velux ceiling window in a bathroom. I needed more privacy but also to keep the room cool in our more common heatwave’s but warmer and insulating in winter. This product solves all three problems and at a really cheap fix price. There is plenty of material over for me to use on other windows in the summer for temporary blinds too. I could have gone the expensive velux blind route but I doubt I’d be opening and closing it that much so this suits me better. Plus I don’t have to worry about my neighbours flying a drone over my roof any longer.
Now where are the candles? Time for a relaxing bath. Another Job done.
Pair this with hook and loop tape (the stuff it came with wasn’t quite the best adhesive wise) and it’s a very cheap black out blind alternative. Used in kids bedrooms last summer (2023) this kept some of the heat out and all of the light. I was genuinely surprised with how effective this was. Cut slightly larger than the window frame size and this will stop any light creeping around the edges.
At first I was a bit sceptical. It also looked a bit tricky and I wondered if it was worth the effort.
The good news is that it works a treat.
Cutting to size is very easy with the included cutter. The nano tape pieces work well and are very powerful but they do lose their tackiness after 3 to 4 weeks. Product information says they’re washable but this is not very practical in situ as you need running water rather than a cloth. I gave up on that and replaced them knowing that nano tape is freely available when I run out. Removing the pieces is best done using a heat source like a hairdryer and peeling them off carefully. No damage to the wallpaper if you do it this way.
If you want pitch darkness this is well worth taking a minute each night to put up. Putting up and taking down isn’t too onerous for the benefits gained.
Very satisfied
Pros:
– Super strong adhesive but blind removable and re-attachable without impacting strength of adhesion
– Excellent quality blind material with silver reflective side
– Good supply of adhesives and a blind cutter
– Carry pouch for travel
Cons:
– Yet to be confirmed, but I’m concerned that the adhesive may lose its stickiness over time and that I’ll need to purchase more adhesive tape once the ones supplied run out.
