Get Hands Dirty it's called "persiana" in Spain, everyone here has persianas in their houses, there are so many models some like yours but we usually use plastic models: mx.habcdn.com/photos/project/medium/persiana-europea-rolada-motorizada-incluida-en-sistema-inteligente_5110.jpg Yours is called "persianas de oscuridad total". i.pinimg.com/originals/e3/8f/58/e38f58024dd252845c3d4d8ac3d8310b.jpg ;)
You are a very talented person! An alternative for those of us who aren't is to dress the window as if its much larger. Shades can be hung completely outside the window to cover the entire hole. Or shade pairs or trios of windows as if they were one...fabrics, etc to conceal as necessary. As a bonus the huge roller can double as a screen for a projector TV...this of course all depends on your aesthetic and placement of the windows. If its just a small side window you can't really plan the whole room around it like a feature.
@@GetHandsDirty No, trust me there still is not any videos on DYI tracks for blackout, there are a few companies that sell premade tracks with felt brushes. However none of those systems look as clean as this. Thanks keep up the good work. Subbed
You have such a calm but sure way to not only show but explain in detail all your ideas, methods and tricks to work around problems. Thank you for giving us this wonderful content!
Very neat job! For the last little bit of light coming in along the bottom, you could make e.g. a 5-10mm thin rubber flap. As it lowers, it will conform to the surface and seal the gap. You should be able to get a thin piece of light gray or white rubber and attach it to the rear of the lower bar.
This is next level blackout blind installation - I couldn’t even conceptualise such a thing, so I’m super impressed! Thinking back to my old flat where they’d cut the blind down too narrow, and it was almost more light gap than blind... 🤦🏻♀️ Now I’m in a brand new flat with no window coverings at all, so I’m seeking out options and being glad it’s winter! 😌
as someone who installed automated shades for a living i can tell you the install was done correctly. i cant tell what brand these are but the brand i use recommends a 1/4" gap above the sill. also the material doesn't extend to the edges because the roll is wider than the fabric. there needs to be room for the parts to attach and for the programming buttons to set limits. your job was beautiful but if i arrived to service that shade i would not be allowed to remove any of the materiel necessary to service or remove the shade due to insurance liability. once again, great job. looks incredible, but i wanted to put this out there in case anyone else is considering this. a shade this size would run about $1200-1500 from the brand i install depending on the fabric. so if it fails you would definitely want it repaired. just presenting some facts to consider.
Hi. Like so many of the youtubers that I follow, I was just wondering last night if you had been forced to stop by the youtube algorithm. But surprise, here you are today, what a happy present. I am always impressed by how brave you are, taking on a job that could become filled with unlucky pitfalls. It was apparent as you continued that you had thought about each part and had a plan. I hope your landlord never looks inside your apartment because it looks so modern and quite well finished that they will want to raise the rent. Congratulations on another project well done.
this looks great. obviously, there are simpler ways of doing this, but this is a super clean and modern way to address the problem of light gaps. please keep us updated on how well the blinds keep sliding up and down in the kerfs.
Omg I did a ghetto version of this year's ago haha mine isnt automatic tho. just got some 1 inch foam, painted it and wedged it in. Thn put a groove in it and slid the curtains In 🤣 This definitely is a more permanent fix haha awesome
@@CheffBryan that's why I did this lol renting! On the small window I just cut the foam out to the size and drilled two holes in it and put a rope through and knot it in the back so I had a handle to pull it out :)

The magnet trick at 6:05 was my personal mindblown. Wish I knew that earlier :) Great video, inspiring little project and the outcome looks very nice.
I like this approach, where the blinds are installed above the ceiling of the window. On my windows, the blinds are installed strictly on the ceiling, but there's also not a lot of space between the windows and the open room so it might be a bit difficult to achieve.
I found most of the professional don't care about their own home. my dad runs a renovation and decoration company, the company starts from my great-grandfather. All the work they did for clients are great. but our home looks like shit.....a uncle who works with my dad is a professional tile worker, doing good jobs on his work, but the tile bathroom floor in his home is not level, not even even at some corners......have no idea why
I'm a former car mechanic, and my car has a million little things wrong with it. I think it's about using up that energy and part of your brain during the work hours?
Brilliant! I paid an embarrassingly large amount for my Lutron auto shades and while the Lutron product delivers what it promotes (quiet, smooth, remote, wifi, bluetooth), the installer left me with a garbage look on 2 large slider-doors and a bedroom window. I had him come back out - he fiddled a little and said "that should do it" but I just let him leave because he was clearly inept at providing a seamless, even and clean look. If you could patent that, or make pre-fab systems, I'd be your first customer!! Thank you for sharing your TIME & TALENT !!
You're an idiot. NO contractor who is hired to "install a window shade" is going to do all of this customized work to integrate the blinds INTO the window frame.
I love your videos, I like the pace you speak at and the way you describe the steps of the project you're working on. Favourite shot? When you're installing in front of the beautiful sunset with birds flying around, hopefully that stuff doesn't get blacked out! 😆😆😆
YOU did professional install! MUCH better than the "so called professionals"! I really hate it when they call themselves professional when they are not!
I got to check to see if there is a ASMR-like video of shaving wood. There's nothing more satisfying than hand planing wood. The sound, the curls, the smell
@@hlg_theshepherd2873 Yes, exactly. June, July, August it practically never gets dark, May and September are so-so, but in December and January we get very little daylight. As a compensation we have no dangerous creepy crawlies :D
@@hlg_theshepherd2873 A girl (model) friend of mine freaked out yesterday bcs she HAD to see it. Fast. Have no idea if the movie has anything to do w blinds
Yay Cris it everything looks very smooth and you made it look very simple, now for all of us, you're the real pro here, tnx for sharing it....!!! 📐🛠🗜😍👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
THE ORIGINAL NUTTER I gotta agree with WeXaztor on that one. You need to lighten up. Or go ride a unicorn into the rainbow colored sunset on your world. (Now see, THAT was negative.)
This video showed up on the side bar, so I figured I watch a few seconds of it and move on. However, the way it was produced, narrated and edited kept me riveted. Before I knew it, the video was over. Great job on the window and on keeping my full attention. I'm now a subscriber to the channel.
It will crack where you attached the MDF/plywood to the masonry/concrete in a season change. You could have gone with an architrave although it wouldn't look that modern/chic as you have done now. Hope you'll be providing some interior window trims in future to conceal the cracks
From your last video post, it's been such a long time. but the wait was worth it, you must be super busy! Loving all of your videos, can't get enough of them, keep them coming please!
Ok.. Done. Yep, that was a fckn FANTASTIC idea 💡 👍 Lastly, it's really good to see you😉. You've been missed. Thanks for brightening my day with blacking out the light😁
Excellent video.. Excellent idea.. You would think something so simple would of been thought of by now with the millions of blinds that are sold every day good going
Great video. I was thinking about blackout curtains initially but now after seening this video I want to do this custom work! Now to look into this motorized system!
Very clever! I would totally do that to my home, if I had one :D I have also noticed that so called professionals don't do that good of a job. They might be fast but that shows in quality.
Everything is a question of the budget. When the owner say, they have 1h time and he will pay not more then that, you need to be quick. Sure, u can use hours and hours of your freetime like she does. But then dont blame the workers for not doing that.
That wasn't a low quality install. It was a low budget install and likely what the client asked for. The cost of the work she did in this video would be way above the price most clients are willing to pay.
Not even finished watching... Just thinking 💭 DAMN, what a bad ass idea! I was a construction worker for years and moldings/woodworking was my favorite... Ok.. Back to 👀
You should be & Deservedly so! Not kidding when I say that I find your work pure genius & always beautiful.. You actually remind me (u look like) a very dear old friend that I simply adore, but used to not know the difference between pliers & channel locks😅 Anyway 😊... Take care & keep creating.. The world needs the beauty right now. Xoxo
I really enjoyed this video; not only because of it's relaxed yet professional quality of the video itself, but also the quality of the work you did, along with your detailed explanation every step of the way. You've got a sub from me for sure! 😊
There’s a lot of time and material into this project, I don’t know why you’re hating on the original installer, very few people would pay for this custom work.
Reborn In Rationality listen, I hardly think you’re one of the guys who should’ve done the work right so you have no right assuming all of what you are assuming lol. Bye
@Reborn In Rationality dude. if you weren't there on the talks between the client and the constructors, you can assume all you want but there's a high chance you're wrong because you weren't there. It's your word against hers and honestly I've seen her work and I'm gonna go with hers :)
Not really a big difference. Primary source is sun radiation straight onto items inside your room, including floor and ceilings. Secondary is glass in the window itself heating up and becoming a secondary heat source right in your room. (Better keep the sun off your window)
@@jedics1 I agree. What I was responding to is your assumption that closing those small gaps left open by a large curtain will make the heat blocking "much more effective". I think it looks much better, but don't expect much effect on heat transfer. Edit: I think people who have the equipment to make the window coverings that embrace the curtains the way she did in this video, might probably also be able to hang one of those rolling curtains designed for outdoor use.😉 They aren't available where I live, but my parents have them on their bedroom window. They work so well to keep the room cool.
You're very talented and your aesthetic is very precise and beautiful. Anyone else's work next to yours is going to look off. I wish I had your talent to make myself some blinds. I work nights and it's so hard to sleep in the day.
Also it would'nt look as sleek when the blind is up and dirt may get trapped more easily inside the gap than the sides. A solution to this may be to replace the bar with a flat edge rather than a round one and use a fine brush trim or rubber trim along the edge.
I loved seeing this project because it was very timely for me and helped me solve the gap problem in my home with various windows where light came it. I really enjoy all your videos, and have seen all of them. I am a new subscriber. Thanks again for being so inspirational!
Have you been talking about blinds or curtains? The same thing happened to me but I remembered I was complaining about my window letting in too much light earlier...
Not to mention, blinds need some air between the window and the blind. As nice as it is and looks, there's big time trapped moisture coming if not left partially open. You'll wreck the wood and likely the blind. Buy a curtain.
Not sure why UA-cam recommended this channel, but I gotta say I'm not disappointed. This was an awesome video/project. If I had the time/skill/patience your video would definitely be one I'd emulate.
This only represents about 2 hours of work. Most people can find 2 hours to do a home project. It doesn't require any intelligence. Most 5-year olds know how to use a ruler. Most 10-year-olds can use a hand saw, if you haven't a power saw. The word "patience" is not applicable here. There is nothing that is impeding your progress, hence you needn't any patience to wait for its completion.
I so love this project! I might going to do this too. Like you said in the end of the video "it never happend". It looks definitely like it was already there. Very nice. Love this kind of projects.
Final result looks clean and cool, but through most of the video I thought you were going to keep the wood exposed, and i was in love with that. So cozy
This is so cool, not only is it functional, it looks slick too, sorta like a house from the future.
Thank you! I actually haven't found anything like this in the internet but since this is such a basic idea, I suppose somebody else made it already :p

What mechanical roller brand/device name did you use? The one drawback of the Lutron is that it seemed to be a bit bigger than what I see others are.
5:41 to be fair, that wood looked amazing there.
Still, I would love to have something like this where I live.
3:22 with the sunset and the bird flying. That was awesome !! Great job by the way, very ingenious :D
Thank you for solving one of my order peeves. I can't wait to try this when I get my own house!
The line of light at the bottom of the "after" sets off my OCD!
Beautiful sunset. Very nice project.
You could add a bit of material to the bottom with a recess that holds the bottom of the blind, and that should fully block out the light.
This is much beter, you are the proffesional there. They should pay you instead! Well done. Oh and by the way that sunset on 3:14 is just amazing!
Thank you so much!

Nice work
Don't know which I like better, the editing or the perfect end product. Great job!
After doing that work, it would drive me mad to leave the line of light at the bottom.
so just add another board and over lap the original window sill. no need to be negative is there.
THE ORIGINAL NUTTER if you see that as being negative you just leave a very positive life.
I understand that.
THE ORIGINAL NUTTER I gotta agree with WeXaztor on that one. You need to lighten up. Or go ride a unicorn into the rainbow colored sunset on your world. (Now see, THAT was negative.)

Love your attention to detail. Super clean outcome. Nice.
it's good, but is it hard to service if something goes wrong with the motorised blind?
MarkleZephire and something will go wrong
She’ll just take it apart again. :20’ from the end!
you can take that into account while making the top part, maybe add a hidden hinge or something easily accessable
form over function i guess.
no oneherre I hate when people say that. It should always be “form follows function”. Don’t give people the wrong idea. ;P
Just came back from Portugal - so I like the pictures of Porto and the sky out of your window. And again I like your project.

Couldn't it do with a groove in the sill for the blind to sit into to black out the base too? Nice job, though, as ever.
She did say that it is a marble stool at 0:38.
Also it would'nt look as sleek when the blind is up and dirt may get trapped more easily inside the gap than the sides. A solution to this may be to replace the bar with a flat edge rather than a round one and use a fine brush trim or rubber trim along the edge.

I loved seeing this project because it was very timely for me and helped me solve the gap problem in my home with various windows where light came it. I really enjoy all your videos, and have seen all of them. I am a new subscriber. Thanks again for being so inspirational!
Yeah and what do you do when he motor burns out
Much better than the old way it was.
I need to do this and I thank you for some of your tips that I will use.
I was picturing something in my mind just like this yesterday and today it shows up on my UA-cam feed? How does UA-cam know what I'm thinking? :-\)(
Have you been talking about blinds or curtains? The same thing happened to me but I remembered I was complaining about my window letting in too much light earlier...
This is amazing work & video editing. That being said this is a video of a very skilled professional with OCD lol
Yay a new vid :)
THIS - THIS I totally LOVE!! I move into my own flat soon, I hope I can do this in my bedrooms- such a clever idea! Video SAVED! LoL
What happens when the mechanism breaks? Need to take the whole thing apart?
SDM17RG hopefully the fix can be done by removing the aluminum cap that has the 2 small screws. If not, the whole top cover needs to get out, yes.
Yup as an installer for shades of this type. I was just going to mention this. Will be one huge task to service the shade if needed
Not to mention, blinds need some air between the window and the blind. As nice as it is and looks, there's big time trapped moisture coming if not left partially open. You'll wreck the wood and likely the blind. Buy a curtain.
Not sure why UA-cam recommended this channel, but I gotta say I'm not disappointed. This was an awesome video/project. If I had the time/skill/patience your video would definitely be one I'd emulate.
This only represents about 2 hours of work. Most people can find 2 hours to do a home project.
It doesn't require any intelligence. Most 5-year olds know how to use a ruler. Most 10-year-olds can use a hand saw, if you haven't a power saw.
The word "patience" is not applicable here. There is nothing that is impeding your progress, hence you needn't any patience to wait for its completion.
I imagine the price for the apartment would have been a fair bit higher if it had this level of detail.
I so love this project! I might going to do this too. Like you said in the end of the video "it never happend". It looks definitely like it was already there. Very nice. Love this kind of projects.
This solution may look good but will be an absolute disaster when the blind mechanism fails.
xeroone1 it should have another backup option: use pull cord as manual
I am sure she can fix this too
I never understood why ppl dislike awesome videos like that?!
God: Let there be light.
Get hands dirty: Today were getting rid of the light.
God: Am i a joke to you.
As soon as God shows me the OSHA approval for that unshielded nuclear reactor, I'll start enjoying the sun in the morning.
Just stop
God is humans biggest joke, ever. Some just don't get it...
Well done, fantastic job. If it were me though I would have just left the plywood. I think it looks beautiful without the paint!
And there is still a gap at the bottom.
Final result looks clean and cool, but through most of the video I thought you were going to keep the wood exposed, and i was in love with that. So cozy
“Water resistant MDF” that’s not something you hear everyday
Very nice, thanks for taking the time to make the video. Gave me some good ideas on how to handle my next project. Thanks again!
Why would anyone go through all that trouble, only to still have light seep in from the bottom???
Should have thought it through.
Yea could of easily added another board on the bottom with a groove cut out and it would of sealed the whole thing up nicely.
Wow - fantastic work! Very impressed with the finish - so clean.
