BLINDED BY THE LIGHT? IT’S TIME TO UPGRADE TO TOTAL BLACKOUT BLINDS

Bright mornings and lighter nights are a sign that Summer is well and truly here – giving many of us a joy de vivre as we make the most of longer days and time spent outdoors. But if you, or your children, are rising as early as the sun or finding it hard to get to sleep at night, opting for our latest innovations in total blackout blinds is a wise investment.

Here are five reasons why you should invest in Apollo blackout blinds and how the award-winning technology can help to keep your room dark in the summer and heating bills low in the winter.

They can help make 5am wake ups a thing of the past

Whether it’s you, your children or perhaps even your pet – with the sun typically rising before 5am during the heart of the Summer, it’s no wonder if at least one member of your household is disturbed by sunlight pouring in their bedroom.
