Blackout roller shades block virtually all light when closed, making them perfect for bedrooms, media rooms, or any space where you need complete darkness. The fabric is tightly woven or has a backing that prevents light penetration. You’ll get better sleep and can watch TV without glare issues.
Light-filtering shades allow soft, diffused light to enter while providing privacy. You can see light and shadow outside but people can’t see in clearly. These work well in living rooms, kitchens, and offices where you want natural light but need privacy from neighbors. Many Haslet homeowners use blackout in bedrooms and light-filtering in common areas.
