Installing blinds to your home is one of the most fashionable and functional ways of covering your doors or windows. Over the years, the window treatments industry has developed so many different types of blinds to choose from. They all come in different shapes, materials, sizes, purposes and functions. The selection is somewhat close to being endless!
Before you get confused as to which type of blinds will suit your home or office, there are many considerations to keep in mind. Ultimately, choosing the right type of blinds for your home should depend on what you actually need them for. For example, do you need the type of blinds that will block all the lights out or will permit all the light in? Do you need the type of blinds that will provide you with different levels of privacy? Do you want a specific color, finish and style to fit your current interior design? Do you want insulation to save on energy costs? Answering these questions will help you narrow down the choices.
Some of the popular choices you may consider getting are roman, venetian, vertical, track and roller. This article however will introduce you to roller blinds, also known as the Holland blinds.
What are Holland blinds? Holland blinds are now being considered as one of the most practical and modern way of covering windows in offices and homes. They are so popular because they are affordable and are available in different colors, materials and designs to suit any home's interior decoration. They are also very easy to maintain because they are made from fabric and can be cleaned using a damp cloth for spot cleaning.
The Holland blinds are made up of a wide and large cut of a hardened or stiffened fabric that is attached to a rotating cylinder which is fastened to a metal railing. They can be rolled up and down to achieve different levels of shading.
The Holland blinds are maneuvered in two different ways. One is by using a special kind of spring that fixes the blinds to a certain level through ball bearings. The other operating type works the same but instead of a spring, a cord is being used to pull the blinds up and down.
What makes the holland blinds special compared to other blind types is its capability to completely control the amount of light from coming inside the rooms. Most of them are made with twin blinds that will let you interchange the room's ambiance depending on your mood or preference. You can choose to either use a total block-out blind for total privacy and cozy setting or a translucent blind, if you want the sunlight to stream inside your room while excluding the harsh effects of UV rays.
