How These Shades will Help You
Perfect for Bedroom, Nursery, & Home Theater
When completely lowered or closed, the blackout fabric of these shades can create a room darkening effect in your bedroom, kids’ room, or home theater.

Cordless design and high-quality construction give these inexpensive blackout shades a smooth and sleek look. Their uniform look earns them HOA’s love.

3 Kid-Friendly Lift Options
You can buy this product with any of the 3 cordless, kid-friendly lift options: cordless spring roller, motorized, & smart lifts.
The motorized lift comes with a rechargeable battery, so power suspension will not affect the raising, lowering, or adjustment of your shades.

Complying with Federal Safety Standard
Certified to meet the U.S. CPSC guidelines, our cordless blackout roller shades are engineered to eliminate cord-related hazards — especially for homes with children or pets.

Simple Cleaning & Care
Cleaning & caring for new Blackout Roller Shades Cordless is so easy and simple. You can dust them with a soft cloth or a brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner, or wipe clean them with a damp cloth. Don’t bleach, iron, or tumble dry.
Consideration and Recommendations
- To lift heavier or larger-scale shades, add a beaded chain.
- Eliminate the possibility of cord entanglement with the hassle-free, cordless spring tension roller option.
- We recommend convenient remote control motorization for high out of reach windows.
- If you want the fabric to feed over the top rather than from the back of the roller tube, choose a reverse roll at no extra charge. It’ll be an ideal option if your blind needs to pass in front of a window or handle.
- To add a finishing touch to your window or elevate the look of your room, order a valance for the top of your shade. However, a valance cannot be used in conjunction with a reverse roll.
- As the fabric must be cut narrower than the operating mechanisms at the top, inside-mounted blackout roller shades will have an about 1-inch vertical light gap between the window casing and the edge of the fabric. We recommend light gap blockers to avoid light gaps on the side of the blinds.

“I added the motorized option and connected it to my Google Home. Now the shades open automatically in the morning and close at sunset. They’re smooth, quiet, and look great. Totally worth the upgrade.”
