Fabric blinds or roller blinds are very popular. They are chosen for their practicality, high aesthetic qualities, and the ability to decorate the interior in a modern style. Therefore, they can be found not only in private houses and apartments, but also in offices. In this article we will learn how to choose roller blinds, and what to look for when buying.
Features of choosing fabric roller blinds
Roller blinds cope perfectly with the tasks assigned to them - they protect not only from the sun's rays, but also from prying eyes. To select the optimal option for roller blinds, you need to select the type of design and control mechanism. Based on this, you can choose the best option for roller blinds.
And here are the main criteria you should focus on when selecting:
- Placement.
- Construction type.
- Choice of fabric.
- Control system type.
- Installation method.
- Selection by size and color.
So, let's go through each parameter separately. This will allow you not to make a mistake when choosing a model.
Selection depending on placement
You need to clearly define in which room the fabric roller blinds will be placed. For example, for the bedroom and living room you can choose thick roller blinds with a blackout system. They create the most comfortable atmosphere for sleep and relaxation. Moisture-resistant models should be chosen for the bathroom and kitchen. These roller blinds are easy to care for, easy to clean and do not absorb foreign odors.
Roller blinds by type of design, fabric and control system
There are 2 main types of roller blinds - open and closed. The most common option is open type roller blinds. Within the intended design, the fabric remains visible. Closed-type models are “hidden” in a decorative box.
You can also select models depending on the type of fabric and control system. If you need to completely block out light, choose models with 100% blackout. Day-night models are suitable for adjusting the light level. Management is carried out in several ways. So, you can choose a chain mechanism. Or you can give preference to a spring or electric drive mechanism. Each of them has its own characteristics.
The installation method may also vary. For example, they include installation on a window sash, on the ceiling, in a window opening, etc.
Thus, by adhering to certain criteria, you can choose roller blinds in the desired color scheme, optimal size and appearance.
