Different roller blinds and classic blinds: what are the differences?
As a privacy screen for the window, you can choose between external roller shutters and classic blinds. Especially in the case of exterior roller blinds, these terms are usually not clearly separated from each other-the two systems differ from each other in several ways.
Not only in the structure, but also in the function, there are considerable differences, which is especially obvious in the purchase cost. Direct comparison shows which system is suitable for which application.
Roller blinds and classic blinds have multiple functions and can be used to:
Noise and weather protection,
thermal insulation
Anti-theft protection
Mosquito repellent,
Darken the room completely.
In summer, sun-proof roller blinds also provide reliable thermal protection, so it is recommended to modify in all aspects. Compared with a purely mechanical system, a sun-proof roller blind with an electric drive also provides more convenience, but the renovation requires more effort and higher costs.
The adjustable and reversible slats of classic blinds are usually between 16 and 50 mm and are connected by side tension. Like roller blinds, different materials are used, such as
aluminum,
wood,
PVC and other plastics.
As an adjustable sun protection device, classic blinds are installed inside or outside the window. For this purpose, various systems are commercially available.

The biggest advantage of PVC roller blinds is that, on the one hand, their price is consistent, and on the other hand, they are flexible: they are available in multiple versions (for example, they are called Roman roller blinds in many designs made of folded fabric), making the roll The curtain looks very attractive. In addition, they can be easily adjusted to the size of the window, so they are not limited to a fixed size-even customized fabrics are also affordable.
Different systems for different purposes
