The insulated shades, with a single insulating layer, and thermal blackout shades, with triple insulating layers, can reduce the energy lost through a window up to 35%, having a significant effect on energy consumption used to heat or cool a home. The thermal blackout shades also block more than 99% of natural light and are perfect for bedrooms or other locations where darkness is desired.

: Yes, though do note one of my clients makes the specific distinction between blocking light or heat

I understand, Tony, but if you have "occultant" and "isolant" for the same product in the same expression, then there is little ambiguity: "isolant" is bound to refer to heat or cold. Isn't it ...?

: Ce sont les volets roulants qui offrent une protection thermique dans le lien et non les stores d'occulation....

: Yup, that's the term my FR client uses, 'occultant', and with 'thermique' when it is heat rather than light; as for 'shades', it's hard to know which translation to use for this US term; it could simply be 'rideaux'; more context needed

Comme pour blackout curtains !
Grand Dictionnaire Terminologique :
blackout curtains = rideaux d'obscurcissement

: I think that 'obscurcissement' really only applies to light; 'blackout' used in this sense really only has the sense of a (virtually!) total block (as distinct from mere slight attenuation) — cf. 'radio blackout', 'news blackout', etc.

Discussion
"blackout" c'est "occultation" : il ne passe plus aucune lumière - puis "store thermique assombrissant", ce ne me semble pas être du très bon français.
Qu'en pensez-vous ?
2) 'blackout' used here is not merely 'marketing language', it does have a quite specific technical meaning, and in this case, means that these devices do more than just block out the light; they also block out a large amount of heat as well. Cf. 'radio blackout', 'news blackout', etc.
