Consider Travel Blackout Blinds

Have you just planned a trip and you want to make the most of the last period of darkness? Blackout travel blinds can easily be brought along.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I block out all the light with shutters?

Even though the Woody's shutters are magic in case you want to get rid of the light, it may still be visible in some areas. The slat closes properly, stops the light from seeping through and then using thicker blackout curtains with shutters creates a better blackout effect.

Is cardboard an effective solution for blocking light?

Cardboard works great as a temporary solution mainly in winters, when insulation is needed as well. Nevertheless, it may be inefficient in the summer and also the cardboard is more prone to damages with time as compared to other options.

How do travel blackout blinds compare to permanent solutions?

Travel blackout blinds are an astonishingly good temporary solution, but are not a fully durable and effective replacement for the permanent solutions like Woody's patio shutters that are equipped with heavy and thick curtains.
