I am extremely disappointed. The pattern is beautiful but after the first day of use, the Velcro tabs are already coming off and there is still a significant amount of light coming into the room through the edges despite it being over the window entirely. The fabric has also already started to fray. For the price of the product, it really isn’t worth it.
Hi Ashley,
Thanks so much for your review and for sharing the photo. We’re really sorry to hear you’ve been disappointed. We never want our blinds to cause frustration, and we’d love to help get this sorted for you.
From the picture, it looks like there’s still a small gap between the blind and the frame, which is likely where the light is sneaking in. The fabric itself is 100% blackout, but the fit does come down to how it’s cut and installed. We recommend leaving a few extra centimetres around the edges so the blind overlaps the frame and blocks out those little gaps.
That said, you mentioned the Velcro hasn’t been sticking well. As a goodwill gesture, we’d be really happy to send you a full roll of Velcro tape. You can run this all the way around the edge of the blind so it seals securely against the frame and stops any light coming through.
If you’d like us to pop one in the post, just let us know. We’d love to make sure you are getting the full blackout experience.
Thanks again for your feedback, and for choosing Porta Fox.
With love,
Annette

Great quality blind that actually sticks to the window without falling off AND completely blacks out a room. My little one has stopped early morning waking -finally! Amazing customer service too. Thanks!

Easy to use and great quality. I bought extra loop & hook tape to completely seal the blind to the window for the full blackout experience. Opening it in the morning works well. Far superior to suction cups in my opinion.
Packaging is also good.

FAQs
Our cut-to-size blackout blind is designed to give you a custom fit for your window, without needing a professional install. Each blind comes with a tape measure and marker pen, so you can easily measure your window and mark out the size onto the fabric. Once you’ve trimmed it to size, just attach the included Velcro strips to both the blind and your window frame. It’s simple, secure, and totally non-permanent - perfect for nurseries, rentals, or anyone who wants great sleep without drilling holes!
Super simple — no tools needed! Just:
- Measure your window
- Trim the blind to size (making sure to add a cm or two so there's absolutely no gaps!)
- Attach the self-adhesive hook-and-loop tape around the edge of the blind
- Press the blind into place on your window frame.
It’s designed for quick setup and removal, making it perfect for both renters and tired parents!
Yes! The fabric is 100% blackout, so when installed correctly, it blocks all light from entering the room — even around the edges. It’s ideal for creating a dark, calm space for babies and toddlers (and grown-ups!) to sleep.
You can, and lots of families do. If you’re planning to use it this way, we recommend purchasing an extra roll of hook & loop tape for extra hold and durability. Just be gentle when removing the blind to keep the adhesive and blind in good shape for as long as possible.
Our blinds use sticky-backed hook-and-loop fasteners — no nails or screws required. It’s a non-permanent solution that works best on smooth, clean surfaces like metal or plastic frames. We always suggest testing a small spot first if you’re unsure about your surface type.
Each blind comes in a large sheet measuring 300 cm (wide) × 145 cm (high), which you can trim to fit your window exactly. It’s designed to suit most standard windows, including wide or tall frames.
Absolutely. It’s a parent favourite for nurseries and kids’ rooms thanks to its lightweight fabric, stylish design, and total light blockout. It helps create a consistent, sleep-friendly space — day or night.
Yes! It’s a non-permanent blackout solution, so it’s perfect if you’re renting, moving around regularly, or just don’t want to commit to fixed blinds. You can install and remove it without leaving holes or lasting marks.
It sure does. The blind features a heat-reflective silver backing that helps block sunlight and reduce heat during the day - great for sunny rooms or hot climates.
Yes - That’s one of the best things about this style! Because you cut the fabric yourself, you can shape it to suit bay windows, caravan windows, or anything that’s a little tricky. Just make sure to measure the window to know how much fabric you need and take your time with the trimming.
Yes! We want you to feel confident when ordering from us. If you change your mind, we’re happy to offer a refund on the purchase price once the product is returned to us in its original, unused condition.
If there’s a fault with your blind, we’ll absolutely make it right with a refund or exchange. Just get in touch and we’ll take care of it.
To keep things fair and hygienic, we’re unable to accept returns for items that have been opened and used.
