Many cusotmers ask for “Blackout Shades” for Bedrooms, or windows where they want to limit the amount of light that comes into a window.  Most customer use the term blackout shades thinking they totally eliminate light coming through a window – which they don’t. The only way you can acheive total blackout is with channel locks – which we will talk about later.

You CAN get room darkening in a Cell Shade or a Roller Shade.  Customers use that term “Blackout” when it is really “Room Darkening. There are still slivers (halo effect) of light appearing at the sides of the materials.  That is because when you measure, the fabricator takes 1/8” to 3/8” deduction off each side of the fabric to allow for inconsistencies in the window measurements as you go up and down the window frame.

I absolutely love my blinds from Atlanta Discount Blinds!!! They really dressed up my windows, and the price was very reasonable. Dave was super nice and professional when he came out to measure my windows; and Dillon was super fast and did an outstanding job installing the blinds. This is truly a five plus star business!!!

Deborah was moving into a new house, and needed window coverings for her windows before she moved in.  She wanted privacy, but wanted to let light in.  She has 2 little children, and wanted their rooms to have blackout shades.  And she wanted them cordless for child saftey.

Atlanta Discount Blinds was able to put together a solution to fill her needs, and at a good price.  We did a combination of roller shades and faux wood blinds for her home.  The order was placed, and within 3 weeks we were able to install her blinds and roller shades by the time she move in.  We provide her with temporary paper shades while she waited on the order.

Window drapes serve two main purposes in a room: to provide privacy and to reflect light. They come in a variety of fabrics, colors, and sizes to suit any need. When choosing window drapes, it is important to consider the style of the room, the amount of light desired, and the level of privacy required. Drapes can be hung from a pole or rod that is affixed to the wall or ceiling, or they can be hung from a track that is mounted on the wall or ceiling. They can be hung directly on the window frame, or they can be hung on a separate frame that is attached to the window frame. When measuring for window drapes, it is important to measure the width of the window and the length from the top of the window to the floor. It is also important to consider the fullness of the drapes. Drapes are typically made with either a two-inch or four-inch hem.
