Different Styles Of Blinds

By Angela Finn


Window blinds are ideal window treatments for Singapore homes and establishments, offering adequate privacy and acting as good insulators. They are both sensible and functional. Curtains may give a room a comfortable, welcoming impression, but blinds provide a modern look that is apt to use in any setting. They provide residences a contemporary look, and give offices and commercial establishments stylish window protection without spoiling the professionalism of their interior design. There are various types of blinds, each one fills the distinct needs of windows in terms of size, materials, and design.

One of the most usual types of blinds in Singapore, the venetian blinds has horizontal slats that are made from plastic, metal, vinyl, or wood. It can totally or partially open up a window, depending on how its boards are adjusted. By rotating its stick, it can also offer complete privacy when drawn completely.

Roman blinds is a great choice for those who want a window covering that looks as elegant as curtains but just as convenient as blinds. It is made from one piece of cloth that looks like an ornate window dressing when raised as it folds into softly layered pleats. When fully drawn, it offers privacy and protection from the sun.

There are two best choices for large, ground to ceiling windows and glass doors: vertical blinds and panel blinds. Panel or patio blinds have wide slats that are usually made of ornate fabrics, providing a fresh and elegant addition to a room. They can be used as room dividers, and can be separated in the centre and opened on either the right or left side. Vertical blinds, on the other hand, is a better choice if the owner prefers to filter the light coming in as it can be tweaked by twisting the slats at an angle.

Another often used type is the roller blinds. This type uses a piece of stiffened cloth connected to a roller at the window top. It can completely cover a window when drawn, efficiently blocking out sunlight and insulating heat. And just like other blinds types that use cloth as slats, roller blinds come in different fabric types and designs. For those who require window shades for an irregular-sized window or those who just want customised blinds, they can have one made directly from a Blinds Singapore manufacturer.
