Commercial Blackout Blinds

Our specialist blackout blinds offer complete control when total darkness is required. We offer blackout blind solutions for hospital operating theatres, offices, boardrooms, school and university laboratories, libraries, care homes, cinema rooms and more.

Aquarius Blinds are commercial shading specialists with over 30 years of experience in the commercial blinds business. Any situation requiring a sensitive solution to managing light and heat can be achieved with our superior-quality blackout blinds.

They are also built to guard against UV degradation, which means they are extremely durable and long-lasting.

No matter what size your windows are or where they are placed, we can manufacture a blackout blind system to suit your situation, including blackout blinds for skylights and roof lanterns.

Systems such as Shy Zip and Mottura are among our range and can be manufactured for the largest of windows. The super strong “Zip” system makes this blind very durable and the sleek side channels ensure that the fabric always remains within the channel to block out external light.

From start to finish the sales team, office admin and installers have been on the ball, communicative and professional. Compared to experience with their main competitor who we used before (not naming names…) it’s been noticeably better service and result. The awning looks great, sturdy and we have faith that if there are any issues in future they’ll continue to be there for us.

Great service all the way through from survey to fitting. Really knowledgeable and very pleasant team who kept us informed along the way during the manufacturing process and delivered to the agreed timeframe. Punctual to all appointments. We are really pleased with the final fitting. I think this is the largest residential awning they have installed! Thanks.

I found Aquarius Blinds to be an excellent company. My existing first floor awning was no longer functioning. The person who examined the old awning was able to recommend a replacement. The people that fitted the awning were very professional and coped very well in bringing the awning into my house through a first floor window as the awning was too big to go through the front door and up the stairs! I definitely recommend this company to others.

Just had a Markilux awning fitted, by Aquarius, with vertical drop down, which is well worth the additional cost. I am over the moon pleased with it. Andrew and Reis were excellent onsite and it is so hot today, not easy working in this heat. The whole process was really smooth. No pushy sales, just good honest advice. Thank you! Happy customer in Burgess Hill
