To line the curtains the fabric normally needs to be the width of the curtain but you could probably have it narrower and safety-pin it on if it's just a few months. It is a bit fiddly making sure you cut enough fabric to cover the window handle, if it sticks out like ours does, but it wasn’t difficult as such. The EasyNight Blinds can be purchased via this link They have a silver backing to reflect the heat (not suitable for all Body Corp rules). This multi-award-winning blind is designed to provide you with the utmost flexibility in covering your windows and doors. Was after ‘temporary blackout blinds’ to only use OCCASIONALLY in Grandkids bedroom, and for when my ‘shift working’ husband had to sleep through the day.

How it Works: Simply apply the VELCRO® Brand self-adhesive tabs to your window frame and apply the self-adhesive Fabric Fastener strips to the reverse side of the blackout fabric, ensuring they match up to the tabs on the window frame. This roman blind was designed for the very purpose of helping you to regulate the temperature of your room.

The sun shines constantly on our house and makes it really hot inside and the blinds seem to make our room cooler.

Easyblackout fabric attaches directly to VELCRO® brand hook fastener (included) on the window frame. Please make sure your measurements are accurate and take account of any protruding handles as we cannot refund cut to size blinds unless we have made a mistake.

I think having the velcro would be a good addition to the blinds, they'd be more 'user friendly' and keep light out round the edges. Think you can add a pelmet or make sure that any curtains massively overlap the sides of the window instead of the usual 15cm or 6" recommended overlap to help reduce the light. Our unique design incorporates excess fabric on each of the four edges - this stops light from entering around the blackout blind.

Each blind has an adjustable cord with a built-in child-safety device making it the ideal choice for young families. And very handy interim measure, as self adhesive and cuttable, so could customise to shape of bay windows.
