Types of Blinds
Blinds are very widespread, they are used in flats, houses, offices. Let’s see what types of blinds you can find in the market today and how to select blinds for you
First of all blinds can be divided into horizontal and vertical. Vertical blinds remind of ordinary curtains, they usually parted move from left to right, there are blinds that can be moved apart from the center. Good vertical blinds must be covered with dirt repulsive structure, so they are as practical as the horizontal ones. Usually, vertical blinds are made of fabric or plastic. Fabric blinds are more comfortable, so for the apartments they are more acceptable, although they look great in offices too. Out of fabrics jacquard, glass tissue or simply a fabric with impregnation are used. Jacquard blinds are ideal for a house or apartment, although they will cost much more than blinds made of a simple tissue.
The tighter the fabric is, the longer blinds will retain their shape. Plastic vertical blinds are not as cozy, but they are very firm, because they do not bend and do not crumple. Naturally, this concerns high-quality plastic blinds. Whether you choose clothes or equipment, whether you have came to an ordinary shop or visited an online shop of house equipment, you’d better pay more but get a high-quality product.
Horizontal blinds have been known for a long time. At first they were made of wood, now the main material is plastic. They are very practical, protect the room from sunlight very well and from prying eyes as well in case your apartment is on the ground floor. Previously, plastic blinds were only of white color, that’s why they often yellowed with time, but now they come in different colors.
Wooden blinds are gaining popularity again. They are, certainly, more expensive but more comfortable and élite. But they have limitations – they should not be hung in rooms with high humidity, as they can become deformed. There are also aluminum blinds that do not burn in the sun. Bamboo blinds are beautiful and expensive. You can choose blinds to your taste. Today you can even purchase blinds online.
