A good night’s sleep is essential, and many of us go to great lengths to create the perfect sleep environment. You may have invested in the best mattress, luxurious bedding, and perhaps even an eye mask, yet still find yourself tossing and turning. The culprit? Light infiltration. Whether it’s the early morning sun creeping in or streetlights outside, even the smallest amount of light can disrupt your sleep. We’re here to tell you blackout plantation shutters are the solution.
These shutters, with integrated blackout blinds, are quickly becoming the new bedroom must-have for anyone serious about creating a dark, restful sanctuary.
Traditional shutters are great for adding style and privacy, but they don’t always provide total darkness. Blackout plantation shutters, however, take light control to the next level. These shutters feature an integrated blackout blind between the shutter and the window, offering near-total darkness by blocking up to 99% of light.
Our integrated blackout blinds come as an optional extra with all our hardwood and MDF shutter ranges. They are made from honeycomb insulated thermal blackout blinds, which are specifically designed to create complete room darkness. This feature makes them perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, and even home theatres where complete light control is essential.
Blackout shutters do more than just look great, they provide a range of benefits that improve your sleep and overall comfort. Here are the top reasons why blackout plantation shutters are a bedroom game-changer:
If you’ve ever tried to sleep with streetlights shining into your room or been woken by the sunrise earlier than you’d like, you’ll know how disruptive light can be. Blackout plantation shutters offer complete light control, blocking out light at any time of day or night.
The integrated blackout blinds are fitted between the window and the shutter, ensuring no gaps for light to slip through. Whether you work night shifts and need to sleep during the day, or you just prefer a pitch-black room at night, these shutters guarantee the darkness needed for quality rest.
One of the key benefits of blackout shutters is how they promote better sleep. Exposure to light at night can affect melatonin production, a hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle. Even small amounts of light can delay melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep.
With blackout plantation shutters, you create an ideal sleep environment by blocking out all exterior light. This helps regulate melatonin production and contributes to deeper, more restful sleep. If you’ve ever struggled with early morning wake-ups or found it hard to drift off at night, blackout shutters might be the solution you’ve been searching for.
One of the drawbacks of traditional blackout blinds is their appearance. They often look bulky and can detract from your room’s aesthetic. Our blackout plantation shutters, however, are designed to combine both style and function.
With a sleek and integrated design, the blackout blinds are hidden behind the shutters, creating a clean and polished look. Available in 15 colour options, you can choose a style that complements your bedroom décor. Plus, the side of the blind that faces the street is always a neutral colour, ensuring that your home looks just as elegant from the outside.
Did you know that blackout plantation shutters can help improve your home’s energy efficiency? The honeycomb insulated thermal blinds that come integrated with our shutters not only block out light but also help regulate temperature. By keeping the cold out during the winter and the heat out during the summer, these shutters contribute to a more comfortable bedroom all year round.
Additionally, the shutters themselves provide an extra layer of insulation, helping reduce heat loss through your windows and keeping your home more energy-efficient. This combination of blackout blinds and shutters makes for an effective thermal barrier, lowering your energy bills while keeping your bedroom cosy.
