1. Creating a warm inviting interior that helps insulate the room and shut out cold weather.
Put up some blinds and shut out the winter, create an atmosphere of warmth and welcome. Blinds aren’t just about austerity and minimalism, they can really help create a comfortable, cosy area in which to sit and relax.
2. Cool or warm – blinds to do both jobs well
If it’s cold outside, when you have blinds you’ll be warmer, and the room will be more insulated, when it’s hot, your blinds can help block out the heat from the sun. Sometimes, it’s hard to find a balance and with that in mind, you can have blinds which help keep a constant temperature, so you don’t lose heat or feel too cold. Some blinds also come with UV protection, so you’ll have protection from burning, the sun can burn through glass and through fabric curtains, but blinds can offer protection from this if they’re carefully line with the right materials.
3. Privacy, security and noise reduction
Blinds are very good at reducing noise and giving you the right amount of privacy when its needed. Rather than only close part of the window or, as what usually happens with curtains, they only close off the sight of the window but not the noise and privacy, blinds give you both. You can have them fitted to the windows perfectly, so when they are closed there’s no part of the window exposed. Because blinds are so good at shutting out light there also good at shutting out prying eyes, so if you have certain items which are of significant financial worth, blinds will give your windows the right kind of coverage, protecting you from potential burglary.
