Say Goodbye to Pesky Light Leaks Around Your Blackout Shades!
Seal the Gaps, Stop the Light: Sleepy Time Tracks Side Channels Have You Covered!
What are Sleepy Time Tracks Side Channels?
They’re specially designed side tracks that block up to 97% of the light that seeps in along the edges of your blackout roller shades.
We designed our Side Channels to make your life easier and your room darker. Here’s how they work:
- Block Light Effectively: Our Side Channels block up to 97% of the light that sneaks in along the sides of your blackout roller shades, giving you a much darker space.
- Easy to Customize: They’re simple to trim to the right size using just utility scissors or tin snips, so they’ll fit perfectly in your window.
- Versatile Fit: These channels work with nearly any window setup—whether you install them inside or outside the frame. They also adjust to fit blackout shades between 1-1/4 inches and 2 inches thick.
- Extra Benefits: Not only do they block light, but they also help reduce cold drafts and increase your privacy, making your room more comfortable and secure.
With these features, our Side Channels are a great addition to any blackout roller shade setup!
Side Channels for Roller Shades offer two mounting options: Removable Version for flexibility or aPermanent Version for a secure, long-term fit on your wall or window frame.
The Removable Version uses magnetic adhesive strips, allowing you to easily take it off and reattach it. This makes it convenient for tasks like cleaning tilt-in windows or removing screens.
The Permanent Version uses a strong double-sided tape that securely holds it in place. While it’s not designed to be removed, if you do need to take it down, it can be pulled off with little to no damage to your wall surface. However, once removed, the tape cannot be reused.

Competitors Leave Your Walls in Ruins!
Determine whether your blackout shade is an Inside Mount (installed inside the window frame) or an Outside Mount (installed outside the frame). The location of the mounting strip depends on this choice. When placing your order, you’ll have the option to select either an inside or outside mount.
Your side channels will arrive as two separate tracks, making it much easier to trim them to the right size before assembly. The mounting tape is pre-applied at our factory, so all you need to do is stick the tracks together following the diagrams below.
