Hello! My name is Tina and this is my new blog. I am lucky enough to live in a wonderful home which has a large garden. I spent a long time learning all I could about home and garden design. I had the interior of my home renovated and new trees planted in the garden. However, I still felt that something was missing. One day, my friend came around to visit and suggested that I install a small pond and a fountain in the garden. I contacted a contractor who came around and advised me on the best features. I hope you like my blog.
Are you interested in a window décor piece that is highly functional and still carries aesthetic appeal? If you are then roller blinds are the perfect solution for your needs. While acting as a design focal point for the room, they will help screen harmful sun rays while helping light up your room. Here are other reasons why you should consider window blinds.
You Can Maintain Them Easily
Whenever you're adding home décor, the degree of care it requires guides on whether it's a wise choice or not. Roller blinds have manageable levels of maintenance. You can clean the fabric or wash it depending on the type. Machine wash isn't advisable. Automated blinds, i.e., the ones you can control remotely need a regular inspection of the motorized parts to avoid any lasting damage.
They Come with Great Flexibility
Roller blinds are flexible giving you a variety of choices to benefit from when you decide to use them. For those concerned about keeping out ultra-violent (UV) rays from seeping into the house, sunscreen fabric satisfies that need. When sunlight streams toward the window, these fabrics sieve the UV rays from the rest of the sunlight. As a result, you receive protection from harmful UV effects while enjoying the sun and still catching a view of the outside.
Blockout blinds enable you to completely prevent any light from flowing into the room from the outside. Where privacy is a concern, these types of blinds work perfectly. A dual-blind offers both UV protection and complete privacy as it comprises of both sunscreen fabric and blockout blinds.
Easy Operation
There are several ways you can operate a roller blind which eases its use in the home. Those that rely on springs enables you to pull each blind or draw it at will with minimal physical effort. Motorized ones (either fully motorized or using a chain drive) allow for even more flexible operation. You can use them remotely and also link them together instead of using one at a time.
They are long Long lasting
Roller blinds are quite durable due to the material they use and their design; some of the common materials include tubes made of steel and strong fabric. When you invest in them, their durability offers a long operational lifetime giving you value for your money. The sunscreen fabrics also last longer by design as they are crafted to block out the UV rays meaning they don't fade as quickly.
Conclusion
Roller blinds cover a lot of ground from beauty and utility standpoint. They help stay healthy and enjoy your home while looking pleasing to the eye.
