We stop in if we prefer a curtain or a blind, if its color combines with the walls of the room and if its appearance is rather traditional or modern, but we do not always reflect on the importance of the type of fabric when choosing a new curtain for our bedroom. The first step before the multitude of options is to assess the functionality we want to give the curtain that will dress our window. UNITEC blackout or blackout roller blinds, specially designed to achieve full protection from sunlight, are among the most common in rooms focused on rest. A feature that also makes them ideal for rooms other than bedrooms, such as living rooms, projection rooms or rooms with a lot of sun exposure.
The main cases in which our interior designers from UNITEC advise the installation of this blackout or blackout roller blinds are three: dormitories of people who sleep during the day, those with problems to fall asleep or people who require maximum darkness to surrender to rest. In all these situations, this fabric becomes a great ally to create an enveloping, relaxing and comfortable atmosphere that helps you sleep well. To this is added its function as an insulator of external noise, since its design materials blackout is able to reduce the sound by at least 60%.
The benefits of resting in the dark are joined by others such as privacy and energy efficiency. On the one hand, opaque fabrics achieve total intimacy away from prying eyes. On the other, a significant energy saving, since this type of roller blinds prevents heat from entering the bedroom, thus having a great capacity for thermal insulation. This quality is also useful during the winter, as it helps to keep the heat inside for longer by preventing the cold from sneaking through the windows.
In addition to offering greater protection to the furniture of the bedroom, its fabric is not at odds with the different types of roller blinds, so it is very easy to find a solution adapted to both our taste and the general decoration of the room: roller, vertical, Japanese panels … regardless of whether we opt for a manual or motorized drive.
Finally, it should be noted that this kind of fabric is also characterized by high strength and durability, as well as being very easy to clean.
