What's the best blind or shutter for total bedroom blackout?

Solid plantation shutter panels give the most complete dark-out, followed by blackout roller blinds in a side-channel cassette. Standard blackout rollers and Romans are excellent for everyday use but show some light leak at the edges.

Every quote is itemised per window — frame, fabric, fixings, fitting. Compare line-by-line with any other Kent quote and we're confident on price and on spec.

What's the difference between Luxaflex and other blind brands?

Luxaflex offers patented systems (PowerView motorisation, Duette honeycomb) that aren't available elsewhere. They're our premium tier for Cheriton customers wanting the highest spec.

Is Luxaflex worth the extra cost?

For premium feature windows, yes — the operation, fabric quality and warranty are noticeably better than mid-range ranges. For a smaller bedroom, a standard roller may give you 90% of the look at much lower cost.

Luxaflex for bedrooms: what we look for

Bedrooms are the most demanding room in the house for window dressings. They need to handle full daylight in summer mornings, complete dark for sleep, child-safe operation and quiet movement — often all in the same window.

Blackout linings or solid shutter panels handle summer dawn light far better than blinds alone.
Cassette headrails and side-channel options dramatically reduce 'light leak' around the edges.
All operating chains and cords are fitted with current child-safe break-away tensioners as standard.
Quiet operation matters — we use cassette systems and slow-fall mechanisms in bedrooms by default.

What to think about for Cheriton

Closed at night: full privacy, no streetlight leak, warmer feel underfoot.
Tilted in the day: light pushed deep into the room without losing the view.
Layered with a soft Roman above: hotel-style softness on top of precision light control.
Painted to match trim: the window stops shouting and starts framing the view.
