Choosing The Right Blinds

Blinds do more than simply provide a window covering, they are more than just grandiose curtains. The installation of blinds can completely update the look of your home, giving it a more feel of crisp and clean modern practicality.

While blinds can match up well with almost any room, colour or style, you still want to ensure you choose the perfect blinds to enhance the atmosphere in your chosen room.

When trying to find the perfect blinds, the first step is identifying where you are going to install them, the window, door or other opening where you want them placed:

• Arches: Horizontal blinds can be made to fit arches and the effect is, visually very appealing.

Windows With A Nice View: Honeycomb shades are perfect for windows overlooking a beautiful garden, expansive golf course or stunning mountain range.

• Sliding Doors: Both vertical and horizontal blinds work very well for sliding doors. Which one you choose should depend on the décor of the rest of the room. If you elect to use horizontal blinds you should install a two-on-one rail to make it easier to get out without having to raise the entire blind.

• Large Windows: Especially large windows are always difficult to cover. The weight of the blind could put excess strain on the rail and the strings. Horizontal blinds on separate rails work well for large windows.

• Front Of House Windows: It’s generally best if the front of your house presents a uniform view for the world outside. Horizontal blinds, especially aluminium blinds, best achieve this. Another option is to get blinds that are duo-toned, one colour on the inside and another facing outward.

• Shower Windows: Only 100% vinyl blinds will perform well under the conditions found in a bathroom/shower.

• Windows Exposed To Bright Outside Light: Glare on the TV is a common problem and to completely eliminate it remember to purchase blinds with no route holes.

• “At Risk” Areas: Pets and energetic children can put most household products at extreme risk.

• Aluminium blinds have been found to stand up to wear and tear more effectively than most others. Plastic blinds are also reasonably durable and they’re also the cheapest to replace.
