Roller blinds
Roller blinds have become one of the most popular choices for light control both at home and at work. Some of the reasons for this are:
• The wide variety of colours, textures and functionalities available to complement almost any choice of décor and style.
• The ease of cleaning and minimal dust collection (depending on fabric choice)
• The durability and extremely low maintenance of good quality roller blinds components.
Roller blinds are easy to operate. Simple yet stylish, they are easy to roll up or down for the perfect level of shading. Our roller blind fabrics come in a wide variety of colours and textures, which are divided into three main categories:
1. Block-out fabrics which allow no light through the fabric.
2. Transparent/Translucent/Filter fabrics where some light is allowed through but with little or no visibility.
3. Screen fabrics which block 95% of the sun but still allow for very good visibility.
A 20mm gap on the control side and 15mm gap on the non-control side between the fabric of the blind and the wall is an industry standard and may vary due to opening sizes, skirtings, etc. Side channels are available as an optional extra to close these gaps and reduce the light coming into the room.
Decorative pelmets are available as an optional add-on.
Roller blinds can be motorised.
Double roller blinds
Double roller blinds – the best of both worlds. This concept is a very effective and functional way of overcoming the limitations of roller blinds and can be achieved by simply installing a blockout roller fabric blind in front of a screen fabric roller blind.
The screen fabric roller blind will be used during the day, blocking 95% of the sun and heat. It allows you privacy and light inside your home, without spoiling your view of the outside.
At night when the light intensity is higher inside the house than outside, the privacy effect of the screen fabric is compromised which necessitates the use of the blockout roller blind.
Some windows might not have enough reveal depth to accommodate two blinds – double roller brackets are available to solve this problem.
Venetian Blinds
For the ultimate versatility, choose Venetian blinds. They animate the outdoor view into stripes of colour and disperse the light horizontally.
Venetian blind slats are manufactured from a wide range of raw materials and each of these have different characteristics.
Heat, sun, moisture, opening sizes, blind weight and stacking height are all very important factors to discuss with your sales representative to find the correct venetian blind for your home or office.
Some of the most common types of venetian blinds are:
• Aluminium venetian blinds
• Wooden venetian blinds (Basswood)
• PVC Composite venetian blinds (Tecwood, Plaswood)
• Fabric venetian blinds (Lantex)
Vertical blinds
Vertical fabric blinds provide an enhancing and functional method in which to control light, while still maintaining an uninterrupted view from your window. They offer an interesting, soft, layered look and are the most inexpensive type of blinds for homes and offices. They are popular for all types of rooms, because the fully closed slats allow increased privacy and protection from extreme sunlight.
The vertical slats permit the blinds to cover huge windows and sliding doors, and can be parted left, right, or split evenly to either side. When vertical blinds slats are tilted, they allow light to enter, can open up the view, as well as offer a degree of privacy.
