Dim Out blinds are 90% Block Out.  They impede the view from both inside and outside. Dim Out fabrics’ beautifully filter the sunlight, while still creating a diffused light in the interior.  These blinds are often used in kitchens, living rooms and dining rooms.  Dim Out blinds let a small amount of light in.  The material is not too thick nor thin as there is only one solid coating layer on the back (versus Block Out which has three).
