Room-Darkening – Now let’s talk about the magical room-darkening skills of these bad boys!
Sidetracks are AHHHMMAZING for energy savings, but for bedrooms and theater rooms they’re light-blocking abilities cannot be beat!
Are you super light-sensitive? Yeah, me too. Suffer from migraines? BINGO
Take control over how the light enters your space; you want a light-free room in your home where you can relax in darkness during an inconvenient migraine episode. If the room has any sort of sheer window treatments that allows natural light into the space, you’re going to want to remove these immediately. Blackout window shades will provide you with complete control of the light. Even blackout shades let a very small amount of light into your space because of the small opening between the shade and the window’s trim. Sidetracks will aid in removing light from your space. They essentially create a seal around your window from top to bottom, which, when installed properly, blocks out 100% of the light.
*cough must-have-for-nurseries-cough*
EcoSmart Blackout Shades, have even more light-blocking skill. You’ll find at the top, our fuzzy seal that blocks even MORE exterior light. The sidetrack system is attached magnetically and is easy to pop off for cleaning the window treatments. Super easy.
