Window Blinds Beat Curtains And Drapes Any Day!

There are various advantages to considering fitting window blinds in your home if you are either building a new home or extension, or are simply looking to redecorate your existing residence.

Window blinds offer an immediate transformation to a home, giving it a comfortable and lived-in feel.  Some homeowners put off the installation of window dressings after building a home hoping to save on finance for a few years, but a room with no curtains simply looks unfinished.

There are many different blind types, style and colours available and you can choose various combinations to suit different settings.  Blind types range from aluminium Venetian blinds to soft fabric pleated blinds, and within the Venetian blind range for example, you can get any colours from white venetian blinds for a bathroom or kitchen, to contemporary and zany coloured venetian blinds, that can be made of plastic, timber or aluminium, depending on your choice.

In addition to their decorative value, window blinds provide security and privacy to homeowners.  They do this better than curtains or drapes, as with curtain and drapes you have to close them completely in order to stop someone being able to see into your home, and therefore you are also blocking out light.  With hard blinds such as aluminium Venetian blinds for example, you can close the blinds, but also adjust the angle of the slats so that light can still enter into the room.

Any window dressings are important in order to stop UV rays from the sun from getting into your home and doing damage to human skin and also to furniture and other valuables.  If your glazing is of a quality that blocks these rays than you may not be in need of curtains or blinds, but in the main it helps to have them fitted.  Blinds will also be able to help to block out the glare from the sun during the part of the day that the sun is at its highest in the sky.

If you have conservatory with a glazed roof, then conservatory roof blinds are your best option.  Depending on the type of window blinds you have in your conservatory, you can get roof blinds to match and these roof blinds will give excellent protection from above.
