Windows are great, they allow light into the room and also allow you to see out of the building. The only problem is that there is no adjustment, you either have a window and light let in, or don’t have a window and let no light in. Obviously this is a problem, so people began using ‘window coverings’. Loosely speaking a window covering can be anything that covers your window, however the two most common types of window covering are curtains and blinds.
Curtains offer a very stylish look to your window and are easily customisable. There are literally millions of variations available including novelty products like themed curtains, such as curtains with football team colours and logos printed on. The problem with curtains though is that you still have limited light control. A curtain can only be in three states: open, partially open, closed.
Window Blind
Blinds offer much greater flexibility than curtains. With blinds it’s possible to achieve much more control. Using a venetian blind as an example you have four scenarios: Open, Partially Open, Closed and Open with Slats Tilted. By utilizing the slat tilting feature you may never have to close your blinds at all, because you can control the light adequately by simply tilting the slats.
Window Blinds also excel in the diversity of materials they can be made with. A curtain can only really be manufactured in a soft fabric. Whereas blinds can be made in all sorts of materials: Aluminium Venetian Blinds, Fabric Roller Blinds,Wooden Vertical Blinds and much more.
Blinds aren’t restricted to just windows either, many people use blinds on their doors to. Some really creative people even use panel blinds as dividing walls in their rooms. Even car blinds are available!
Most window blinds are made to the exact measurements of the customers window and fit inside the recess. However cheaper blinds are available that are mass produced in stock sizes and fit outside of the window recess. Ready made blinds aren’t as aesthetically pleasing but they do the job and are perfect for those looking for budget blinds.
Although blinds are often perceived as a boring product, there are some quite interesting innovations. Two of the most popular are remote blinds and picture blinds.
Remote blinds are a very impressive product and are available at a reasonable cost. The idea is that you can adjust your blinds without having to actually go near them. This can be very practical in some situations like buildings with very high windows.
Picture blinds are an identical system to roller blinds, aside from a digital image is printed onto the fabric before it is placed inside the roller tube at the manufacturing stage. There is no limitation to what you could use this product for, I’ll leave that to your imagination.
