Material And Product Selection
We do give utmost importance to locally made products. In saying so not all our products are made locally. We try and balance quality, cost, and availability in deciding our source.
Roller Blinds or Roman Blinds mounted on the Architrave provide best privacy as a single panel of fabric covers the window when in closed position.
By far, Block out Roller blinds is the most popular product. This is due to its versatility of application,, value for money and the wide range.
Not many people know this but window furnishings provide an effective solution to noise reduction. Thick coated curtains work best for theatre rooms etc as the thick fabric absorbs the sound waves. But if you are looking for best blinds for noise reduction, roller and roman blinds would work quite well. As a ule of thumb, the thicker the fabric material, the better noise reduction it provides.
Any type of blinds (roller or roman) made from Sheer View fabric provides excellent day time privacy. During the day, you can look outside but someone form outside can not see in. This is due the weave of the fabric.
However, this phenomenon reverses at night. Therefore, a block out blind material would work best for night time privacy.
The right type of fabric for blinds will be to go for a light filtering fabric, sheer view or translucent. Choice of light filtering fabric will depend upon the privacy requirements. Another quick tip is to fix made to measure mirrors on both window reveals to reflect more natural light into the room.
If maintaining the views is your priority over light penetration, you should choose dark colours. Dark colours in sheer view fabric give a better vision. Colours such as charcoal, pitch for blinds will give you near uninterrupted views.
When ordering blinds, choose the bracket/hardware colour to match your blind fabric, if possible. If the bracket colour is not available in the blind fabric colour chosen, match the bracket colour with the architraves of your windows. This way the brackets will blend in with the window frame and not stand out. As an example, for cream or off white roller blinds, choose Birch White brackets.
Yes. But a simpler solution is to buy a blackout blind to hang behind the curtains.
