Top Window Blinds for the Discerning Home Owner

Numerous considerations go into selecting the right blinds. For instance, they need to compliment the color scheme and furnishings. Additionally, they need to blend well with the construction materials in your office or home.

Types of Blinds

  • Aluminium Venetian Blind

They are often found in kitchens, business offices, and washrooms. In most cases, they are sold along with an aluminum slat due to the metal’s flexibility. They offer an inexpensive way to cover a window. 

  • Wooden Venetian Blind

A wooden Venetian blind is an excellent way of styling your home’s interior and covering the windows. Most of these blinds are made from lightweight wood called basswood. But they can be made from a variety of woods and bamboo. 

  • Roman Blind

This type of blind works by rolling up sections of the blind together into a stack. Various kinds of fabrics can be used in manufacturing a roman blind- typically, they are made from polyester, linen, and cotton. There are two variants to select from- blockout and sunscreen.

  • Roller Blind

As the name suggests, this kind of blind works by rolling the shades on a cylinder that runs above the window. Like the roman blind, they come in two variants- blockout (it blocks most of the sun and glare) and sunscreen (allows an amount of light through the fabric).

  • Eco-wood

Eco-wood Venetian blinds are increasingly becoming popular with homeowners. They are mostly made from recycled PVC but contain a bit of wood. They are popular because they are easy to clean and highly durable.
