Light blocking strips (or Light Blockers) are an adhesive vinyl strip that can be attached to your window frame and will obstruct those pesky gaps. These are typically used in tandem with blackout window treatments but can be used to simply reduce the light coming in from the sides.
What are light blockers for shades?
Light Blockers are an L-shaped piece of plastic that goes in front of or behind your window treatments to block the part of the window that is not covered. They come in a range of lengths and can be trimmed to fit your windows size.
