Blackout roller blinds are perfect for creating a cosy and warm atmosphere in a room.
• They block light 100%: One of the biggest advantages (and the main reason for choosing them) is that they almost completely isolate the room from external light, darkening the space and creating an intimate atmosphere.
This is an advantage for a family room, as it guarantees deep rest, which is ideal for people who need complete darkness to fall asleep. On the other hand, they are a great choice for use in offices, conference rooms, conference rooms, etc., because by blocking light, they allow the use of projectors, video beams, etc.
• They help to soundproof the room: just like they block light, they are also great for helping to soundproof the room due to their thickness. Generally, fabrics used to make roller blinds in other regions often act as natural barriers and absorb at least 40% of the sound.
• Save electricity: This type of fabric can save energy in places where heating or air conditioning is used, as roller blinds also help retain hot air in the room, creating more space warm and comfortable.
• Versatility: As mentioned earlier, roller blinds allow you to choose other forms of looking at the face, and their windows use different models and different designs so that you can choose the ideal style that suits your room decoration.
Roller blinds maintenance
In order to make the roller blinds have a longer shelf life, then cleaning is necessary to take certain precautions, because this is a delicate fabric.
• Do not use cleaners or abrasives or chlorine-containing liquids, as they will stain them.
• Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer as they may damage their texture.
• First, it must be dusted with a soft cloth, dust collector or hand-held vacuum cleaner. You can do this daily to prevent them from getting dirty and needing cleaning.
• For deeper cleaning, take a damp cloth (don’t get wet) and gently pass it through the whole piece.
