I am planning on installing two blackout roller blinds onto my sash windows.
I previously tried with the blinds installed onto the inner window frame, leaving the architrave exposed. Although I liked the look, sunlight was passing through the top and both sides.
I was thinking of attaching a wooden batten on the top and install the blind which covered the entire window including the architrave.
The wooden batten will be a 2x1 and the window frame protrudes 2cm out so it closely matches the batten.
The complete width of the window including the architrave is 114cm. Blinds are available already in 120cm (116cm fabric) which will cover the entire width.
Will this be sufficient in preventing any sunlight passing through the sides?
Even though the fabric is only 2cm wider than the window width, the actual glass is quite a distance away from the architrave.
Any suggestions is appreciated. Thanks.
