Most products today fight the elements like harsh sunlight well and offer years of trouble free service. Internal soft products should be polyester not a blend as in poly/cotton, or vinyl, or plastic that is not uv stabilized. Beware these imitations they usually have a cheap price tag and a very short shelf life Two or three years if you’re lucky.
But there are some unique advantages to each of the blinds listed below.
- Roller Shutters
Burns for Blinds Premium Roller Shutter slats are designed and made in Germany from the highest quality materials. Roller Shutters were created to meet the needs of high risk commercial premises, from retail shops to industrial warehouses & your home. Not only do roller shutters offer you more than the best light control, the features just keep rolling (visit the Roller Shutter page for more information). Make sure they are fitted correctly to minimize the light gaps. Too many firms forget your requirements and look to offer cheap alternatives saving some money but causing anguish as the light gaps appear. With Roller Shutters light and ventilation can be adjusted to create a pleasurable atmosphere. Roller Shutters prevent the sunlight from fading carpets and interior furnishings as well as acting as a long-term protection for window frames. Burns for Blinds Roller Shutters are becoming a household favourite for home entertainment theatres to create that true theatre experience. Never have I seen the ability to one minute have a room full of light, and then to complete utter blackness. It’s amazing, yet understandable that everyone who has lived with roller shutters can never live without. - Blockout Vertical Blinds
All of the Blockout Vertical Blinds are an excellent choice for blocking intense sun and heat. You can actually feel the temperature drop in the room as soon as they are closed if the sun was beaming in. - Polyester Roller Blinds
Out of these five choices this one is the cheapest but is also effective for the first three hours in an average size room. More than this really requires the glass to be covered externally to prevent the sun heating up the glass and any internal room air in turn touching this heated glass. - Sunscreen Blinds
For harsh sunlight areas, you can't beat this one. If you have a view that you'd just hate to block out or maybe a commercial storefront that you don't want to look like it's closed then this is the product for you! The Sunscreen Blinds come in a wide variety of colours. - Timber Shutters
These are considered the Rolls Royce of window furnishings, and although they can be expensive, they are very exquisite. the look, feel and features they offer outweigh the price. They are considered by most as 'furniture for your windows' and will have all the neighbors talking. When ordered with the optional horizontal divider rail you have the ability to close the lower half for privacy while keeping the upper half partially open for view.
