How To Use

1. Cut the easyblackout blackout material to the shape and size required (or cut to make more than one blind).  Where possible we suggest allowing an overlap of approx. 2cm on each side.  This 2cm excess should 'fold around' and sit against the window recess or surround.  To achieve this, please add 4cm to the height and width.
2. Apply the self-adhesive VELCRO® brand hook fastener tape (supplied) around the window frame.  Please note that this is suitable for upvc frames and is not recommended for wooden frames where the adhesive may pull paint away when the VELCRO® brand hook fastener tape is removed.  For wooden frames we suggest using Frame Fasteners instead - these are available on the 'Accessories' page.
3. Press the easyblackout material against the VELCRO® brand hook fastener tape and hey presto, blackout!
4. Open and close daily as and when required.

Available in black, cream and white, and a range of sizes, simply cut to fit.  This material does not fray so there is no need to hem.

Width and drop Please note that either side can be used as the width or drop, ie each kit can be used either way around.

Cutting Service

We can cut your blind to size if you wish.  Please measure your window including all of the frame, ie from wall to wall.  Please add 4cm to the height and to the width measurements.  This gives the small overlap of 2cm on each of the four sides which is required for best blackout.  Please note that we will cut the size you tell us, we don't add the 4cm.

Please make sure  your measurements are accurate and take account of any protruding handles as we cannot refund cut to size blinds unless we have made a mistake.

The smallest size we cut is 29cm in either height or width.

We normally only send offcuts of a substantial size, but you can tell us in the comments box during checkout whether you wish to receive these or not.

'Seconds' kits

From time to time, we have some easyblackout material that isn't quite perfect in appearance - it is perfectly usable, but may have some small marks so we can't sell it as 'first' stock.  We think it would be a shame to throw it away so we offer these kits at a discounted price.  It is a bargain really, because when your blackout is up, you can't see it anyway!

Only the fabric is different in seconds kits - all other included components are the same as 'first' kits.  The only difference is that there may be some small marks on the fabric (and these are often on the reverse).

All of our seconds blackout blinds and fabrics are listed on the 'Bargains' page - availability can change daily, and these do tend to be very popular, so it is worth checking regularly if there is something in particular you are looking for.
