Types of Roller Blinds Fabric And Their Uses
There are three general categories of roller blinds fabric: sheer or translucent, sunscreen, and blackout. Sheer or translucent fabrics are those that leave in at least some sunlight. Sunscreen fabrics are those that screen the sun's ultra violet rays and Blackout fabrics are those that completely block the sun as well as people's ability to see into your windows.
Uses for Sheer Fabrics Most people want sheer fabrics with their roller blinds for the rooms where they want a lot of sunshine or when they want to use both blinds and drapes together. Many people choose sheer or translucent fabrics for their kitchens, as they want this room to be sunny and bright. They gently filter the sunlight without actually blocking it out. These allow you to have an attractive window treatment while still allowing in lots of light. Many people also use sheer or translucent fabrics in formal dining rooms and living rooms when they want to pair their blinds with drapes for a more layered or formal look.
When to Use Sunscreen Roller Blinds Sunscreen roller blinds are often used for the rooms that you want some soft light to filter through, but don't want the harmful rays of the sun to fade your furniture, rugs, or paint on your walls. These fabrics protect your room from the suns harmful rays while still allow a bit of light even when the shades are completely closed.
Blackout Roller Blinds Blackout blinds are normally used in the bathroom and bedroom, and sometimes in the main rooms of the home. Blackout type fabrics offer privacy in those rooms where people bath and dress and well as blocking out light from street lamps and the sun while you sleep. More often or not people choose blackout blinds for those rooms where they want to block all outside light or where they want to be assured of absolute privacy during certain times of the day.
In addition to the different types of fabric, each of these come in a variety of patterns and styles. Roller blinds fabrics can have a variety of weaves, prints, and colors. Actual materials can include cotton, silk, bamboo, rattan, and polyester blends as well as many other different types of materials. Some fabrics are lined, others are not. There are even print fabrics that are designed especially for nurseries and children's rooms.
