Our house is south facing, so I was being woken up at 5am with the light streaming in, despite having blackout curtians.
Our current window opens in so there was no point in putting an in-set blind, as it would block the window opening.
We will replace the window eventually and once we have I'll probably will get a blind... but until then;
we fixed it yesterday by getting a extender/spring curtian rail, and a single blackout curtian then putting it within the window frame/ internal recess itself, tight up to the window at the top. It stops the light leaking through and and round, came in sub £50 all in.
We only need it in the summer months, so its handy to be able to take down. I imagine the extra insulation will be handy if we have another run of 40c+ days this year.
Cheers all.
Food for thought.
I have a feeling >£700 will be shot down immediately. Especially as I do the mornings so there is limited impact to the decisionmaker.
