Designed for Complete Light Control
Blackout shades are designed to block nearly all incoming light, creating a calm, distraction free environment that supports deeper sleep and better focus. By using high opacity fabrics and precise fitting, they cut glare from city streets and daylight while protecting privacy in the rooms where it matters most. Ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms, custom blackout shades from Toronto Window Treatments combine performance with a clean, tailored look that works with both modern and traditional interiors.
Inside Mount
for a Built-In Look
For a sleek, integrated appearance, blackout shades are often installed inside the window frame. Can be paired with tightly fitted side channels, this setup minimizes light gaps along the edges so the fabric can sit close to the glass and block as much light as possible. Inside mounts are a favourite when you want to keep existing trim visible and create a “built in” feel, with options for manual or motorized control, a range of cassette styles, and fabrics that match your décor while still providing true blackout performance.
Outside Mount for Maximum Room Darkening
When the goal is to darken the room as much as possible, an outside mount is often the preferred approach. Here, the blackout shade is installed above the window and sized to overlap the frame on all sides, covering gaps where light would normally slip through. A reversed roll can bring the fabric closer to the wall, further reducing light leaks and improving room darkening. This application is especially popular for media rooms, shift workers, or anyone who wants the flexibility to turn a bright room into a near dark space on demand.
