Window Blinds Buyers Guide

Whether you are buying rock bottom price bargain blinds or exclusive designer blinds, there is just a small choice in the type and style of blind (Roller Blinds, Vertical Blinds, Venetian Blinds, Roman Blinds and Panel Blinds), but a vast choice of materials, colours ands patterns.

Roller Blinds Quick and simple operation unrolls down and rolls back up using a control chain. Available with decorative trim and fabric trims to compliment your colour scheme and furnishings. Roller Blinds can offer excellent black out facilities to reduce the light streaming into a room, ideal for a babies bedroom as well as night shift workers needing darker rooms in the time. Roller blind can be used for reducing the glare from bright sunshine. Width of roller blinds is limited to the width of the fabric. Often very wide windows may require two sets of roller blinds.

Vertical Blinds Vertical blinds may be considered 'retro' but offer an ideal solution for covering wide windows and patio doors. Unlike roller blinds, width isn't a problem. Plenty of choice in colours and fabrics.

Wooden Venetian Blinds Wood blinds provide an alternative to traditional fabrics and choices of finish vary from natural wood, stained or indeed painted to suit your colour scheme. Choose decorative valances to cover the head-rail.

Venetian Blinds

Venetian blinds are versatile and stylish, the vast choice of materials, fabrics and finishes include soft sheen, matt, realistic wood effect, gloss or unique metallic.

Roman Blinds Roman blinds are softer in material than the other blinds mentioned. Generally fully-lined and in soft fabrics that can give a luxurious sumptuous feel to your room, and are an alternative to curtains.

Panel Blinds Panel blinds are versatile in the sense they can be used as room partitions or decorative features. They can control artificial light and natural sunlight as well as glare. Panel blinds may also be used to disguise or block certain views as well as provide privacy in domestic and commercial environments.
