Blinds or shutters? Advantages and disadvantages
Are you faced with the choice of blinds and shutters? You should be guided not only by aesthetics and appearance but above all by functionality. We suggest the advantages and disadvantages of each solution.
A few words about shutters
Traditional Venetian blinds are becoming increasingly rare in Polish homes, especially when it comes to furnishing new interiors. Nevertheless, it is worth taking a closer look at them. The most popular are aluminum ones, which effectively protect against the sun's rays and have a wide range of applications, both in homes and offices. They fit in with classic arrangements where there are muted colors and accessories. However, it cannot be said that they are the most aesthetically pleasing option in terms of window coverings. They provide privacy, but there are not many options for their arrangement.
As far as the disadvantages of aluminum roller shutters are concerned, the rapid heating up of the room has to be mentioned here. This is why aluminum is increasingly being replaced by wood. Such blinds add elegance to the interior and make the room feel much cozier. They also do a better job of reflecting the sun's rays. The downside of blinds, regardless of the type, is certainly their difficult cleaning, which requires patience and more time. For those who value functionality, it is definitely better to choose pleated blinds, which are visually similar to classic blinds.
Roller blinds - the modern way to shield a window
There are plenty of types, designs, and colors of roller blinds on the market, making them a great alternative to traditional blinds. They look great in any room, even in the bathroom and kitchen. Being made of fabric translates into easy cleaning with a damp cloth and adds a cozy feel to the interior. They can also be fitted in rooms with allergies on a daily basis.
The better the quality of the material, the more robust the blinds, which are resistant to moisture or creases. These types of products are also very aesthetically pleasing to the eye, as any protruding mounting elements can be hidden in the cassette. And speaking of fixing, there are many ways to do this. You can easily handle it yourself, without the help of specialists. If you don't want to interfere too much with the window installation, it's worth opting for products that guarantee non-invasive fixing. This is a very interesting and practical solution, especially if you live in a rented property.
Whatever effect you want, you can choose from materials of different transparency. This translates into letting different amounts of light into the room. You can choose from more or less shading fabrics. What's more, even the dark color of a roller blind in a room does not affect the way the interior heats up.
A practical option is a day-night blind, which can be adjusted to suit your needs. You decide how much light you want to let into the room. This makes it suitable for both the bedroom and the office. As a rule, day-night blinds are made of materials that reflect the sun's rays, so even in summer, the flat is much cooler.
Advantages and disadvantages of roller blinds in the home
Roller blinds fit in with the design trends due to the wide range of products available. The material can be plain or additionally decorated. In this way, they also have a decorative function. There is no denying that this type of window covering is also incredibly practical. For example, pleated blinds can be installed on windows of various shapes, as they have the form of a folding accordion. They also do not have to cover the entire window area from top to bottom. They can be installed in any room, including the kitchen so that they cover only the lower part and thus protect from the sight of passers-by or neighbors.
To fully enjoy functional and aesthetically pleasing roller blinds, it is important to pay attention to the quality of the material and its type. Incorrectly selected ones may require additional lighting, and mechanisms that are less resistant to damage will quickly wear out. It is worth remembering that we use roller blinds on a daily basis, so they are an investment for many years. Check out the offer in the FamilyRollo webshop.
