                Alternative Darkening Solutions

                If you don't require edge-to-edge light sealing with side channels, you might find exactly what you need in our standard Blackout Roller Shades. Alternatively, our Room Darkening Roller Shades offer a great middle-ground for spaces that need privacy without pitch-black darkness.


                Day-Time Light Management

                For the other rooms in your home where sunlight is welcome, explore our premium Light Filtering Roller Shades or our view-preserving Solar Roller Shades, all custom-made in our Ontario facility.


                Seamless Operation Options

                Enhance your total blackout experience with the right control system. We highly recommend pairing these systems with our Smart Motorized Roller Shades technology, or choosing our smooth Cordless Roller Shades for a sleek, modern look.


                FAQ: Total Blackout Roller Shade Systems

                How do Total Blackout shades achieve 100% darkness?

                Unlike standard shades, our Total Blackout system uses high-performance opaque fabric paired with light-blocking side channels and a top cassette. These components work together to seal the gaps where light usually leaks, creating a "sleep cave" environment perfect for shift workers and home theatres.

                Is the cassette and side channel system standard?

                At Modern Window Solutions, every Total Blackout shade comes standard with our premium matching cassette. Side channels are a custom add-on designed specifically for those who require the highest level of light control and edge-to-edge darkness.

                What are the energy-saving benefits for Canadians?

                Because the Total Blackout system "encloses" the window, it acts as a powerful thermal insulator. In the winter, it prevents cold drafts from entering your home; in the summer, it reflects 100% of UV rays, significantly reducing your cooling and heating costs in the Ontario climate.

                What control options are available for Total Blackout systems?

                We offer all control types: the Cordless Gravity System, Smart Motorization (controllable via Alexa or Google Home), and our Canadian-compliant Continuous Cord Loop. For bedrooms, motorization is highly recommended so you can open your "total darkness" shades without getting out of bed.

                Are these shades made locally in Canada?

                Yes! We manufacture all our premium window treatments right here in Ontario. This ensures that the aluminum side tracks and cassettes are cut with laser precision to fit your custom window measurements perfectly, with fast shipping across Canada.

                Are Total Blackout shades easy to install?

                Our systems are designed for straightforward DIY installation. The side channels are pre-drilled and the cassette clips into place easily. We provide detailed Canadian measurement and installation guides to ensure your total blackout experience is seamless from start to finish.

                Do they also help with noise reduction?

                Yes. The multi-layer blackout fabric combined with the side-channel seal provides a noticeable dampening effect on outside noise. This makes them an excellent choice for homes in busy urban areas or near high-traffic streets in the GTA.
