Blackout Blinds

Absolutely. Helioscreen’s internal blackout blinds are the ideal window covering for any home or business. They block out nearly 100% of light reduce up to 64% of heat, are made from durable aluminium componentry and polyester fabrics, and are highly customisable.

No. In addition to blocking out light, blackout blinds are also great for maintaining privacy as they cannot be seen through, even at night.

Helioscreen’s blackout blind systems vary in cost because each system is built unique to your room requirements. 

Based on our experience, the cost of our blackout blind systems range from a couple of hundred to a few thousand dollars. This all depends on the size, automation features, and any additional accessories you may choose. 

The easiest way to find out how much your blackout blind system will cost is to contact Helioscreen’s specialist team.

The lifespan of total blackout blinds will vary depending on their quality, materials and how well you care for them.   

However, generally speaking, most blackout blinds will last for 5-7 years before they begin to deteriorate. 

To guarantee your blinds remain beautiful and functional for years to come, ensure you’re purchasing quality blackout blinds from a reputable supplier like Helioscreen. All our blackout blinds come with a five year warranty on the motor, fabric and hardware.

Generally speaking, no blackout blinds are not waterproof.  

Blackout blinds are primarily designed for use in bedrooms, TV rooms and offices as opposed to bathrooms and kitchens. They can handle small amounts of water or humidity but are not designed for prolonged exposure in a damp or wet environment.

If they are motorised, then yes, blackout blinds are child safe.   

Without the need for a hanging cord pull, motorised blackout blinds eliminate the risk of kids (or pets) getting caught or tangled in them. This makes them a great option for young families. 

As required by law, all Helioscreen chain operated blinds also come fitted with chain safety devices to ensure the blinds are safe.

All Helioscreen indoor blinds are made from high-quality fabrics and European engineered componentry.
