Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Novo blackout blinds different from store-bought ones?
Our custom aluminum side channels. Off-the-shelf blackout blinds leave a 6–10 mm gap between the fabric and the window frame that lets daylight spill across the ceiling. We mount aluminum channels flush to the frame and the fabric rides inside them, so the edges are fully sealed. It’s the same factory-direct approach we take across all our custom blinds in Edmonton.
Do your blackout blinds really block 100% of light?
With the side channel system installed, yes. The fabric itself is triple-layer and blocks visible light plus 99.9% of UV. The channels close the perimeter gap — we do a light-leak check at install and re-shim until you can't see any glow.
How long does it take from measurement to installation?
Made in about 1 week. Installed within 2–3 weeks of approval. Explore our full range of custom blinds in Edmonton.
Can blackout blinds be motorized or connected to smart home systems?
Yes, and we recommend it for larger windows, skylights, and nurseries. Battery, plug-in, or hardwired motor options are all available, with support for Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit plus sun and schedule automations.
Will the side channels damage my window trim?
No. Our installers use concealed fasteners sized to your trim, and the channels come in white, black, or silver to blend with your finishes. Inside-mount channels tuck into the frame; outside-mount channels frame the window cleanly.
Are blackout blinds child-safe?
Cordless and motorized options available. Ask us to show you suitable controls for your household.
Do blackout blinds help with heating and cooling costs?
Yes. The triple-layer fabric plus sealed channels create a dead-air pocket at the glass that improves insulation — measurable savings on summer cooling and winter heating, especially on south- and west-facing windows in Edmonton. Want insulation as well as darkness? Our honeycomb blinds add a thermal barrier.
What is the warranty on Novo blackout blinds?
How much do blackout blinds cost in Edmonton?
Our roller blinds start from $75 per blind at factory pickup, and blackout fabrics sit modestly above light-filtering. Side channels — the piece that takes a bedroom from very dark to actually dark — add to that. For whole-home numbers, see the 2026 Edmonton cost guide on our blog.
