“We have a north facing bedroom window that leaked sun and streetlight which often affected our sleep. We had the SleepMax® Total Blackout Shutters installed and are amazed at how effective they are at blocking out all light. Everything Classic promised this product would do, has been delivered. Would highly recommend!”
Louise & Darren, Islington
“I recently had the SleepMax total blockout blinds/shutters installed in my bedroom and cannot recommend them highly enough!! As a shift worker who often works night shift and has to sleep during the day, these SleepMax® blinds are a game changer. My bedroom is completely dark for sleeping, and the noise and heat is greatly reduced as well. I have not slept this well on nightshift for years! All this while having the attractive look of plantation shutters too. They would work really well for families with small children too. This is a brilliant product Classic Blinds- 5/5 rating!”

Can SleepMax® shutters be automated?
Yes! SleepMax® comes with rechargeable battery motors as standard, allowing for seamless automation and app control — no hardwiring required.
Does SleepMax® require special maintenance?
Not at all. Like all our aluminium shutters, SleepMax® is low maintenance, easy to clean, and built to last.
Is SleepMax® available in different colours?
Yes, our shutters come in a range of classic and custom colours to complement your interiors.
Is SleepMax® Australian made?
Yes! SleepMax® is proudly manufactured in our Newcastle, NSW factory, using premium-grade aluminium and designed specifically for Australian conditions.
Can plantation shutters be blackout?
Traditional plantation shutters help reduce incoming light, but they do not typically achieve complete darkness due to small gaps around the frame and louvres. SleepMax® blackout plantation shutters are specifically engineered to deliver 100% total blackout, making them an ideal solution for bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms, and shift workers who need complete control over light.
How do you block out light with plantation shutters?
The most effective way to block out light is with a purpose-built blackout shutter system. SleepMax® combines precision-engineered framing and advanced sealing technology to eliminate light infiltration. If you’re comparing shutter solutions, you may also wish to explore our premium quality aluminium plantation shutters or outdoor plantation shutters to determine the best option for your space.
How do I measure for blockout blinds?
While DIY measurements can provide an estimate, our professional made-to-measure service ensures the best fit and performance. Our team provides free measuring services to help you achieve optimal results while avoiding costly errors. For guidance on selecting the right solution for sleeping spaces, visit our article on Choosing Bedroom Window Coverings.
How do blockout blinds reduce light gaps?
Quality blockout blinds reduce light by closely fitting the fabric to the window opening. Some systems also use side channels to minimise gaps at the edges. However, most blockout blinds cannot completely eliminate light leakage. SleepMax® was developed for homeowners seeking total darkness rather than simply reduced light.
