Blockout Blinds Installation Gold Coast.
Custom-made blockout blinds professionally measured, manufactured and installed across the Gold Coast. Dense blockout fabric that stops light coming through the material, optional dim-out side tracks to reduce light bleed around the edges, seven designer fabric ranges and motorised options — all backed by 30+ years of local installation experience and a 5-year warranty.
A coated fabric that stops light passing through it.
Blockout blinds (also called blackout blinds) use a tightly-woven face fabric with an acrylic blockout coating on the back that stops light passing through the fabric itself. Available as blockout roller blinds, blockout vertical blinds, double-rollers and motorised configurations, they're the go-to for bedrooms, home theatres, nurseries, offices and shift workers' rooms.
Drawn down at night, the room goes much darker. Drawn up by day, you get a clean tailored look at the window. Pair with side tracks or a pelmet to cut the light bleed around the edges — or combine with a sheer roller for sheer-by-day, blockout-by-night.
How they work
A high-density polyester face fabric is coated on the rear with an acrylic blockout layer, so light doesn't pass through the fabric itself. Some light always enters around the edges of any blind — blockout blinds with side tracks use slim aluminium channels along each side to significantly reduce that edge light (a dim-out effect) and improve insulation at the same time.

Two distinct looks. Same blockout fabric.
Smooth fabrics give a clean, minimal finish that recedes into the room. Woven and textured fabrics add a designer feel and a tactile, statement-piece quality.
The most-installed bedroom blind on the Gold Coast, and not by accident.
Six reasons blockout blinds earn their place in homes, offices and hotel fit-outs across the coast — built for sleep, screens, energy efficiency and protecting what's inside the room.
A much darker room
Blockout fabric cuts the daylight right down — easier sleep through the summer sunrise, better for shift workers, and a darker room for daytime naps. Add side tracks to reduce the light bleed at the edges.
Better screen time
Drop the blind, cut the glare, and watch the game or the Netflix binge at 2pm. Home-theatre feel without the home-theatre price.
Furniture & floor protection
Blocks UV through the fabric — helps protect timber, leather, art and rugs from fading and drying out.
Heat & energy
Acts as an insulating layer — keeps heat out in summer, warmth in during winter. Eases the AC load on the worst afternoons.
Designer finish
Seven fabric ranges — smooth, woven, textured, linen-look. Match architrave, pick a contrast, or coordinate with bedding and rugs.
Family & pet safe
Cordless spring, motorised, or child-safe tensioned chain — AS/NZS 4554 compliant on every install.
Alexa · Google · HomeKit
Custom-made, motorised, made to suit your room.
Every blockout blind is custom made to your exact window measurements in our Currumbin Waters factory. Choose from motorised blockout blinds (battery, wired or full smart-home — Alexa, Google, Apple HomeKit) or traditional cordless and child-safe tensioned chain operation. Pair with side tracks to reduce light bleed around the edges, or layer with a sheer roller for sheer-by-day, blockout-by-night flexibility.
Design flexibility runs to seven fabric ranges, hundreds of colours, smooth or richly textured weaves, and matching blockout vertical blinds in the Karma, Essentials and Le Reve collections — so a bedroom blockout roller and a lounge-room vertical blind can colour-coordinate without compromise.
Seven ranges. Hundreds of colours.
From smooth and minimal to richly textured, our seven blockout fabric ranges cover every style. Tap a range to see the colour collection; we'll bring physical samples to your home so you can compare in your own light.

About blockout fabric
Every range is a true blockout fabric — light doesn't pass through the material; the difference is the texture and feel of the face fabric. Pick smooth for a minimal look, textured for a designer statement, or linen-look for a soft natural finish.
Choosing your range
Match architrave colour for a built-in look, or pick a shade lighter than the wall to keep the room feeling open. We'll talk through your room layout and lighting at the in-home measure.
An insulating layer between you and the worst of the weather.
A blockout blind isn't just a light filter — it's a thermal barrier at the window. The dense face fabric and acrylic blockout coating slow heat transfer in both directions, keeping summer heat out and winter warmth in. Paired with side tracks, the insulation effect is significantly stronger again — the channels close off the air gap at the edges so the blind acts more like a second layer of glazing for thermal performance.
Cuts heat gain
Stops the 32°C+ afternoons hitting the inside of the glass — your AC cycles less, the room stays at temperature longer.
Holds winter warmth
The fabric and coating act as an insulating layer at night, slowing heat loss through single-glazed windows on cold mornings.
Lower energy bills
Less cooling load in summer, less heating load in winter. Motorised + scheduled = energy savings without any thinking.

"We've got a west-facing bedroom and our toddler refused to nap past 2pm. Mantra blockouts went in three weeks ago and she's been asleep by 1pm every day since."
"Did the whole house in Essentials — bedrooms, lounge, the lot. Looks tailored, knocks back the morning sun beautifully, and the team was in and out in a morning."
"Motorised Linesque blockouts in the lounge — they drop with the press of a button and we can watch the football at midday without any glare on the screen. Worth every cent."

For sleep, for screens, for the things you love.
Blockout roller blinds do three jobs sunscreens can’t: they make a room much darker for sleep, they cut glare on screens, and they help protect what’s inside the room from UV damage.
What blockouts are best for
- Bedrooms & nurseries — a much darker room for better sleep, even after sunrise
- Home theatres & rec rooms — a darker room and less glare for screens, any time of day
- West-facing rooms — block the worst of the afternoon sun and heat
- Rooms with art / leather / timber — blocks UV through the fabric to help prevent fading
- Shift workers — sleep through the day, no matter the season

Easy care. Long life.
Blockout roller blinds are engineered for low-maintenance everyday use. A regular dust-down and the occasional spot-clean is all most blinds ever need.
Regular care
- Dust monthly with a soft brush, microfibre cloth, or vacuum upholstery attachment
- Wipe the cassette and bottom rail with a damp microfibre cloth
- Operate motorised blinds occasionally even when not in use, to keep the motor lubricated
Spot cleaning
- Use lukewarm water and a small amount of mild detergent
- Sponge gently — do not rub, scrub, or use solvents
- Rinse with clean water and allow to fully dry in the rolled-down position before retracting
- Take particular care of the acrylic backing — avoid hard scrubbing as this can damage the coating
What to avoid
- Harsh chemicals, bleach, ammonia or solvent-based cleaners
- Steam cleaning or pressure washing
- Retracting the blind while it is still wet
- Hot direct sunlight on damp fabric (can fix water marks)
