Wooden_BlindsBlinds are efficient, allow control of lighting and privacy, and are aesthetically pleasing. That’s why residents in Jacksonville, Florida are choosing roller blinds. Florida summers are harsh; winters bring strong winds. Only the best roller blinds can keep their homes cool in the summer and comfortably warm in the winter.

Here’s why roller blinds are an excellent choice for your windows.

 

Easy to Operate, Easy to Control

The term roller alone suggests how you can easily control the blind covers that hang on your window. You only have to roll it up or down to control the amount of light that comes through. Want the blind to fully cover your window for total privacy? Or would you rather close it only partially to get a better view of the scenery without the glare and heat of the sun? Just roll your slides up or down. Roller blinds are much more accurate than curtains in adjusting the flow of light.

Motorized or remote-controlled roller blinds also make it easier to manage window shades. They’re especially perfect for oversized or hard-to-reach shades. You can even link a number of blinds together and open or close multiple blinds at once.

Attractive and Designed to Fit Your Style

The unrivaled simplicity and elegance of roller blinds make them a must-have feature in every room. Along with your furniture and wall paint, a window blind also sets the decorating tone of your room. Are you looking for a modern, classic or minimalist feel? Find the right set of roller blinds that match your style. Unlike curtains, blinds are available in a wide range of colors, patterns and fabrics. So it’s not that hard to pick one that suits your home.

Very Flexible and Customizable

Curtains usually cover the whole window space. They are also less customizable. This is why most homemakers prefer roller blinds. Their flexibility lends themselves to almost any type of room or window space.

Do you always have to reach over your furniture to close the curtains? Install an automatic roller blind and worry no more. Want to screen the glare and UV rays of the sun? Blinds are available with a sunscreen fabric. This kind lets the light in but screens out the harmful rays. Now it’s a brilliant window covering that still allows you to see what’s outside. Want to block the sun completely or obtain total privacy? There’s a black out fabric in any color of your choice that is sure to be a perfect match.

Of course, if your needs are more complicated than these, you can always ask the experts at All About Blinds to fully customize your window blinds. You can, for instance, ask for a dual roller blind. This is two blinds on a single bracket, a sunscreen blind and block out blind. With this combination you can enjoy the benefits of two blinds in one.

Durable and Cost-Effective

Nice curtains, or any other window treatments, are hard to find and can be expensive. You don’t have to settle for heavy, thick and more expensive curtains just to block 100% of the light coming through your window or achieve total privacy. Good roller blinds are reasonably priced. They are all made in strong fabrics, durable steel tubes and, in the case of automatic blinds, topnotch operating systems. They are long-lasting and are as good as new after years of use.

The right type of window treatment can effectively screen the sun’s radiation and prevent your home from warming up. This keeps your house cool especially in the heat of Florida’s unforgiving summer. In winter season, a reliable roller blind can keep your home warm. It can efficiently keep warmth coming from your heating unit. This alone can significantly reduce your electric bills.

Easy to Install, Clean and Maintain

Curtains, especially heavier and more expensive ones, need thorough washing. They may be too large for your washing machine and need to be professionally cleaned. Cleaning and maintaining their quality obviously means spending more money.

Blinds have none of these downsides. Except for roman blinds, you don’t have to take blinds down for cleaning. You can quickly wipe them clean with a duster or a damp cloth. So you can clean them as often as you want and keep your family safe from allergens.

With these benefits, it’s not surprising why blinds are so popular among residents of Jacksonville, FL. Many more consumers are starting to see the advantages of using them as window treatments. Why not upgrade to blinds and benefit from them too?
