How to block light around a roller blind?

I have an existing blockout roller blind in our nursery room. The room is north facing and so let’s in a lot of light around the blind. 
Does Bunnings have bottom and side channels to install/retrofit to my existing blinds?

Re: Roller blind side channels

Hello @WGV119 

 

My apologies for the late reply. Would it be possible for you to post a photo of your current block out blind? From a D.I.Y point of view it's possible to build a timber "L" channel to supress the light that is leaking from the sides. If you have the tools and a little bit of D.I.Y. under your belt, you can put the channel together using timber moulding.

 

There is also the option of using Brutus 47 x 47 x 4mm 3.0m Angle Building Moulding it can be easily drilled into the windows timber frame. 

 

If you need a hand posting the pictures, please let me know.

 

Eric
