Now, the various types of roller blinds and fabrics used for them allow you to install them into any interior. But what should be considered when choosing them? This blog will help you answer.
Chromatography
When choosing colors for roller blind fabrics, you need to start with the type of decoration room and the type of interior of the room.
Therefore, for the office, it is more suitable for calm and not flashy ordinary roller blinds, such as beige or light green. But in the children’s room, you can use your imagination-up to photo printing with cartoon or comic characters.
In this case, you need to consider the color of the room or wallpaper wall. It is best to choose a fabric that is different from the wall color, but use lighter or darker shades or use contrasting colors. If the walls are flat, then the roller blinds with decorations will coordinate well with them. If there are drawings on the wall, it is better to choose the simple option.
It is also important to consider the size of the room. Soft light colors visually enlarge the room, so they are suitable for rooms in small apartments. In large rooms, you can use dark saturated colors. The horizontal stripes on the roller blinds will visually enlarge the room, while the vertical stripes create a higher ceiling effect.
You should also consider where the windows of the room face. In the case of the south side, please choose a cool roller blind fabric, and on the north side, choose a warm roller blind fabric
Another interesting design technique is to choose blinds to match the color of the textiles in the room (bed covers, pillow cases). You can also hang roller blinds of different colors on different window sashes. For example, for a tricuspid window, one color can be used for the side window and another color for the middle window.
There are some general rules regarding colors. Warm shadows coincide with warm shadows, and cold shadows coincide with cold shadows. Calm colors that are not distracting are common, such as beige. Green and yellow stimulate vitality and improve efficiency. And blue makes people calm, relax, adjust rest.
Fabric density
When buying a roller blind, you not only need to determine the color scheme, but also the thickness of the fabric and its light transmittance.
For those areas that require complete shading-home theaters, conference rooms, bedrooms-products made of completely opaque shading fabrics are very suitable. For the kitchen, it is best to use a roller blind made of translucent fabric.
Also consider the world the window faces. For the south side, it is best to choose a blackout roller blind, for the north side, it is best to choose a translucent roller blind.
For large windows, the two-layer roller blind “Day and Night” (“Zebra”) is very suitable, in which dense and transparent fabric strips are alternately arranged, and different lighting levels can be set using a control mechanism.
design
There are two main types of roller blind designs.
The open system is the simplest and cheapest option. These roller blinds can be hung completely freely or have a magnetic strip on the bottom. The main feature of this system is that the shaft of the unwound fabric is not covered with a special box. In this case, both direct winding and reverse winding are possible. In the first case, the fabric cloth in the lowered state covers the shaft and is located at a certain distance from the glass. In the second case, the canvas is located close to the glass, and there is nothing covering the shaft.
Closed system. In this case, the shaft is hidden in a special box, and a guide device is installed on the side to ensure that the canvas adheres to the window as much as possible.
installation
The shutter can be fixed on the ceiling, wall, window opening, or directly on the window sash. When the product is installed on the window, the product takes up the least space, and the color of the box matches the frame, so it is almost invisible. In addition, with this installation, you can open the window without opening the roller shutter.
The following installation methods can be used:
Using self-tapping screws is a reliable method, but it requires drilling;
Use double-sided tape-a simple method to keep the surface intact, but the reliability is not as good as the first.
The most practical thing is that you use UNITEC’s non-perforated roller blind head accessories, which is very convenient and quick for you to install the roller blind.
Roller blinds are easy to operate and maintain. They are compact, stylish and original, and can reliably prevent the sun. They are versatile, so you can choose an option for any interior style.
