Does your space need to have the doors or windows blacked out? It’s a great question.
Let me tell you one thing. If you haven’t heard, I visit–personally visit–at zero obligation. In six years I’ve never asked for a check. There is no pressure to get a check. My goal is to make sure you fully understand what you’re getting into; if it fits in your space; do you have the process, or how we can set up a process to make it easy.
But to answer your question about blacking out doors and windows:
When I evaluate your space, I look for that exact thing. Many times, because of the year and the sun angles, I actually wouldn’t do anything until I get there and/or after the studio has been installed. The worst-case scenario that could happen is that I would have a skylight directly above my studio. If that’s the case, I probably would cover that or spray paint it.
To answer your question “Do I need to black out my garage door windows or windows in the building?" I’ll make that determination for you and give you a little heads-up when I visit, and/or, because of the year and the sun, I would wait before I do anything so you don’t spend money needlessly.
FAQ
Do I need to black out windows or garage doors for a 360Booth®?
Often not right away. 360Booth checks during the site visit, and because sun angles change through the year, may suggest waiting until after installation so you don’t spend money unnecessarily.
What about skylights?
A skylight directly above the studio is the main concern. 360Booth will usually recommend covering or painting it.
