Custom printed blackout roller shades for home theaters — 100% light block, quiet motorized drives, film-poster printing at 1440 DPI, NFPA 701 rated.

A projector is only as good as the darkness around it. Ambient light washes contrast off the screen first at the windows — and ordinary room-darkening shades, which still pass 1–5 percent of light, read as gray glow the moment the room goes quiet. Home theater blackout shades solve the problem at the source: a 0%-openness fabric laminated to an opaque backer blocks 100% of incoming light, and an outside mount with 3–4 inches of overlap per side — or side channels on an inside mount — kills the residual edge glow. OrangePiel prints the room-facing side at up to 1440 DPI on PVC-free fabric, so the shade that blacks out the matinee doubles as a film poster, a cinema still, or your own photography when the lights come up. Single panels run to 192 inches wide for media rooms with window walls. Motorized drives are the standard specification for theaters: quiet tubular motors, group control across multiple openings, and integration with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, or the dry-contact inputs of dedicated theater controllers, so 'movie time' can drop the shades, dim the lights, and start the projector in one scene. Blackout fabric also stops solar gain at the glass — a west-facing media room stays noticeably cooler on summer afternoons — and NFPA 701 fire rating plus AATCC 16.3 UV testing carry the same commercial-grade spec as our hotel and conference-room installs. For the full treatment, pair the shades with printed acoustic panels: the Home Theater Acoustic Treatment guide covers NRC 0.95 wall coverage for the same room. Production runs 2–4 weeks from approved proof; ground shipping is free in all fifty states. Manufactured in Richmond, Virginia since 2006.
