100% Blackout Blind, 145 X 250CM Portable Blackout Blind

 

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 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.

 

With summer in full swing in the UK – getting a toddler to believe it is bedtime before 10pm is a challenge when it is broad daylight outside but, this product has completely resolved our woas!

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!

 

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!)

 

The transparent adhesives work great to hold up the 145cm x 250cm blind material on my very large skylight (almost the size of the blackout blind). I used 4 of the adhesives. They are sticky on both sides and hold the blind securely in place (i.e. four is sufficient to support the full weight of the blind). I was able to remove the blind and reattach it without any issues. However, my concern is that the adhesive may lose its stickiness over time due to dust and other debris getting attached to it. Of course, they’ve provided quite a few of these adhesives so they can be replaced, but you may need to get more once these run out. I stuck the adhesive to the glass directly and it is great that they are clear so they appear almost invisible on the glass. The blind material itself is great, with a black backing and a silver window facing side to reflect heat. My living room is much cooler now after blocking out the sun and heat coming in from the skylight.

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.
