How do I measure correctly?

We require 7 measurements so that this custom made blind can be perfectly fitted to your window with no light gaps. Measure from where you will be fitting the Blind. With the BlocOut we want you to have unrivalled levels of darkness. This unique system with bespoke side rails is designed to block out light and draughts.

Follow our How to Measure video instructions.

What is the difference between the Recess and Edge fit?

Recess blinds are designed to fit within the window opening itself, you can position anywhere within your recess for flexibility due to the purpose-built 3-sided frame that will enable the blind to mount onto. Edge fit is designed to sit on the front edge of the recess, overlapping slightly on either side.

Check out our How to Install videos for more details.

How do I install the blind?

Our BlocOut is very easy to install. We include an installation instruction manual with every order. You can also check out our How to Install videos for more details and our customer service team are available to answer your queries.

Is the Bloc Out child safe?

Our safe-by-design philosophy extends to our iconic and award-winning BlocOut blackout blinds. Our blackout blinds utilise a self-contained runner format paired with a push-in to operate handle mechanism. This removes cords from the blind completely, a key safety consideration when used in bedrooms and playrooms alike.

What is best to use to measure correctly?

We advise on using a measuring tape. Measure to the nearest mm to get precision fitting.

What type of window does the BlocOut blind not fit?

The BlocOut blind is unsuitable for victorian sash windows, angled recesses, inward opening windows or bay windows.

We would recommend sending photos of these types of windows to our customer services team to check suitability.
