xOverview
Introducing the BirdNest 100% Blackout Magnetic Window Shade, a versatile, tool-free solution designed to create a pitch-dark environment with privacy in mind. This 118" x 57" shade uses a magnetic closure paired with top hook loop tape for quick, portable installation without any drilling. The fabric is lightweight, foldable, and easy to carry for travel or temporary setups, making it suitable for bedrooms, nurseries, RVs, and media rooms alike.
What makes it blackout
The blackout effect comes from a two-layer design: an Oxford fabric front that blocks light and a reflective silver backing that helps reduce light penetration and moderate temperature changes. A dark front plus the light-reflective backing work together to enhance privacy and light control. Note that the fabric may form gentle fold creases when stored, which can affect aesthetics slightly; using traditional curtains in combination can help if aesthetics are a priority.
- 100% blackout performance with a dual-layer build
- Reflective backing helps reflect heat and reduce glare
- Compact, travel-ready design that folds easily
DIY cut-to-fit flexibility
Unlike fixed-size panels, this shade can be cut to fit many window shapes and sizes. It works well on bedrooms, home theaters, hotels, offices, doors, skylights, curved or casement windows, sliding doors, RVs, campers, and more. Cut it a bit larger than the window for a snug blackout effect.
- Easy to tailor for a wide range of window configurations
- Lightweight and portable for holidays or travel
Installation at a glance
Install in minutes with Hook & Loop strips at the top and magnetic closures along the edges and bottom. The shade clamps between a metal board on one side and a magnetic board on the other, allowing quick attachment and removal without adhesive on the fabric. Ensure the window is clean and dry before mounting, and if needed, smooth the fabric with a low-temperature iron to reduce creases.
- Measure & Cut & Connect in about 5 minutes
- Top support with Hook & Loop strips; edges secured by magnets
