Reflective or blackout blinds?

Internal roller blinds are not only a decorative covering for the window but above all an effective protection against excessive solar radiation. This is why the fabric should have additional properties. Among the roller blinds, you can find reflective and rubberized roller blinds. What are the differences? Which one should you choose? Here are some suggestions.

What are light-reflecting roller blinds?

Reflective roller blinds are made of special fabrics that are perfect for spring and summer. In addition to the traditional fabric, they usually have an additional coating, such as aluminum. Its function is to effectively reduce the amount of light entering the room.

Unfortunately, sunlight is not always pleasant, aesthetically pleasing, or comfortable. Often, it makes it impossible for people in the home to relax effectively, watch television, or work at the computer. This is when special reflective roller blinds come in handy. Make sure that the fabric you decide on has this feature.

Pleated blinds, which have a heat-insulating function, are a good example of this. When the temperature outside the window rises and the sun shines, the corresponding fabric not only stops the sun's rays but also prevents heat from penetrating. This is particularly useful in a flat on the top floor of a block of flats. These are rooms that heat up quickly and the extra solar radiation will not cause the interior temperatures to rise. In winter, on the other hand, pleated blinds help to keep the heat in the room. Pay attention to the choice of fabric to suit your needs and the requirements of a particular room.

Rubberized roller blinds - what are they?

Another type you may come across when buying window guards is rubberized roller blinds. They have an extra coating of rubber that lets less light into the room. They are great for those interiors where you want to achieve the effect of a dark, cozy room. Rubberized pleated blinds are one of the options you have to choose from. They allow you to sleep and relax peacefully. They have another important function. They reduce the risk of light reflections that can appear on TV screens and laptops.

Rubberized roller blinds completely darken a room. As it turns out, however, they do not have to be black, navy blue, or brown. There are currently many fabric colors on the market that guarantee full blackout and have a light shade, such as grey, cream, or white.

Which blinds to choose?

Before you decide on a particular model of interior roller blind, consider where the room is situated in relation to the sun. If the interior heats up quickly in summer, think about a suitable cover. Thermally insulated pleated blinds will work well here, especially if there is no air conditioning installed. At the same time, you don't have to worry about winter conditions. They are a popular solution in living rooms where television is often watched, as well as in children's rooms. They can also be fitted in offices for comfortable use of computer screens.

However, it must be taken into account that the heating of rooms is not always strictly related to the amount of sunlight transmitted. It can be an effect of the wall surface, façade, or roofing.

Of course, think about other aspects of internal blinds too. Assess the shape and dimension of the window, as well as the nature of the room. If you want complete blackout, for example in a hotel room, bedroom, or children's room, choose rubberized roller blinds.

Window blinds should also be suitable for all household members or employees to ensure comfort and simple operation.
