Open roller blind:

They consist of two parts-a continuous cloth and a shaft.

They are installed on the window box, on the wall or ceiling above.

The bottom of the paper roll is decorated with a metal weighting agent, which can not only decorate the edge of the fabric, but also pull it evenly (the magnet is also connected to the frame from below);

Do not completely adhere to the window, and do not allow direct sunlight to hit the edges.

They are more economical and simpler options.

 

Closed roller blind:

 They have a cassette system-the shaft is closed with a special box fixed to the frame

 Different roller blinds and classic blinds: what are the differences?

Roller blind material

When choosing materials for roller blinds, focus should be placed on the purpose of the room and the need to prevent sunlight.

It is worth noting that most roller blind fabrics have good abrasion resistance, have been faded to prevent dust, and are easy to clean with a vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth. These characteristics are undoubtedly another advantage of the roller blind function.

 

5 kinds of coils

 

1. Transparent and translucent fabric: can be made on the basis of cotton, linen, nylon, polyester. Diffuse light. It is suitable for rooms that do not require complete power outages, such as dining rooms.

 

2. Natural materials: The most common canvas is made of bamboo. Such blinds are environmentally friendly and comfortable to the touch, but they can let light through. It is also important to consider interior design: bamboo curtains are suitable for rustic or ecological styles.

 

3. Dim: A fairly dense fabric that can provide high but not complete darkness in the room-about 80%.

 

4. Shading: dense multilayer material with the lowest light transmittance. When installed in a closed manner, blackout curtains can provide almost 100% sun protection, which is very suitable for bedroom use.

5. “Day and night” (“Zebra”): These blinds are composed of two canvases, each of which is divided into strips of fabric with different transparency. By moving the canvas, you can combine stripes in different ways to darken part or all of the room.
