Stylish, Silent, and Scientifically Backed
According to the Sleep Foundation, even dim ambient light (as little as 5 lux – roughly equivalent to a night light) can suppress melatonin production, delay sleep onset, and reduce REM sleep. This can lead to fatigue, impaired memory, and weakened immunity.
Local data shows that in urban and suburban areas like Epsom, average nighttime light exposure levels can range from 10–50 lux indoors, largely from street lighting, electronic devices, and passing cars, making lightproofing your bedroom not just a luxury, but a necessity.
Blackout blinds don’t just make your room darker: they contribute directly to better mental health, physical recovery, and even emotional regulation.
At Controlux, our blackout blinds deliver multiple layers of value beyond light control:
Naturally Sleep Better – Complete darkness encourages melatonin release, the hormone that regulates your body clock. Ideal for shift workers, children, or anyone struggling with insomnia.
Save on your Energy Bills – Blackout fabrics help insulate windows. In summer, they reduce solar heat gain; in winter, they retain warmth, cutting down on heating and cooling costs by up to 15% annually, depending on usage.
Block Out More Than Just Light – The denser materials in our blinds also help dampen outside noise. Expect reduced disturbance from neighbours, traffic, or construction, especially in high-density areas of Epsom.
Protect Your Interiors – UV rays can fade wooden floors, carpets, artwork, and upholstery. Blackout blinds filter up to 99% of UV exposure, helping preserve your interior furnishings longer.
Total Privacy, Day and Night – Whether you’re facing a busy street or have nosey neighbours, our blackout blinds provide complete visual security without compromising on style.
