A little lateral....but.....We have some Velux Siesta blinds. I don=92t
kno=

what fabric they use but heck black-out MEANS black-out. Even on the
sunniest of days and even though it=92s a roof window (Which gets direct
sunlight) it blocks light 100%. It obviously has the advantage of running

a metal track which helps eliminate light creeping round the edges.

So the fabric you need does exist.

Ooooh, P.S. There electric and IR controlled too :-)
