So you have made a decision to install indoor blinds in your home or office, but it can be difficult to know which style or features you need to suit your different rooms. The internal blinds suitable for your bedroom or bathrooms are very different to the blinds you can choose for your lounge room or meeting room. In the bedroom and bathroom your focus is on privacy and darkness, whereas in other rooms you will need a lot more light. Let us explain which indoor blinds are best for privacy and for light control.
Block Out Blinds – also called “Black Out Blinds” are one of our most popular blinds. Block out blinds are made of a 100% block out fabric and completely block out the amount of light entering the room. Due to having zero light transmission, block out blinds make the room darker meaning they are perfect for bedrooms, bathrooms, TV and movie rooms. Block out blinds also improve the temperature in your room by keeping in the warmth during colder days and in hot weather they reflect heat and reduce sun glare in your room, making your home and office cooler. Block out blinds also have the benefits of maintaining your privacy as people can not see through them when they’re closed. Available in a range of colours and fabrics means they will match any of your decor.
Dual Blinds – also known as “Day/Night Blinds” or “Double Roller Blinds” are a fantastic solution for providing differing light control and privacy. Dual roller blinds provide the benefits of two roller blinds on the same mechanism. One roller blind can be a total block out fabric as mentioned above, which means the room can be in complete darkness when closed, while the second roller blind can be your fabric choice such as a sunscreen blind or light filtering blind, meaning you can roll it up or down to allow more light to enter the room. Although dual roller blinds are on the same mechanism, they can be operated independently and each have their own chain, so depending on the weather outside you can adjust it for more brightness and allow the sunshine to enter, or close it for more privacy and shade. Dual roller blinds can be cord operated, or we also have a motorised option available.
Light Filtering Blinds – also called “Translucent Roller Blinds” are made of a tightly woven material which means they provide a great level of privacy, while still allowing filtered light to enter your room. Light filtering blinds provide a great level of day time privacy and light control by not allowing people to see through them. Light filtering blinds are great for use in living rooms, offices and kitchens, but they are not a total block out, so they are not ideal in bathrooms or bedrooms as you can see silhouettes through them at night when the lights are on. Light filtering blinds are available in our UPF Rating 50+ which reduces the amount of harmful ultraviolet light entering the room and also come in a range of styles including plain, textured or coloured fabrics.
Sunscreen Blinds – Our sunscreen blinds are made from a specially designed mesh fabric which lets in plenty of light, while protecting you from the sun’s rays. Sunscreen blinds block out up to 95% of the sun’s harmful rays, creating energy efficiency. Sunscreen blinds provide a great level of privacy as you can’t see into the room from outside, although they are not a block out fabric, meaning you can still see through them and maintain your outside view. Sunscreen blinds do not provide privacy at night when the lights are on, so like light filtering blinds they are not ideal for bedrooms or bathrooms.
