Blinds Palm Beach

When we install blinds in Palm Beach we know they reflect the widest choice of materials, styles and colours available. With modern manufacturing techniques, it’s possible to have blinds made from PVC that are textured and coloured to look great. In terms of style, there’s a choice of Roman, venetian, roller blinds and plantation shutters as well as horizontal blinds and awnings. Look through the business listings to find local installers and find out their areas of expertise.

Plantation shutters do keep out some noise, depending on how dense the material is and if the slats are tightly joined when shut. However, their main function is to protect exterior walls from sun and rain. There are insulated exterior shutter blinds that form a more perfect fit and are designed for security. These are better at stopping noise from travelling for the outside to the inside as they form an insulating layer of air between the window and the blind.

Blackout blinds are great for bedrooms and those parts of the house that get the full glare of the Gold Coast sun in summer. On the other hand, on cold winter days, it’s nice to have natural light while retaining privacy and that’s what light filtering blinds do. A versatile combination is to have both. A blackout blind could be mounted behind a light filtering blind allowing you to use one or the other depending on the situation. It’s quite common in apartment buildings for light-facing windows to have two sets of light filtering roller blinds, allowing for the maximum variation of light.

The cheapest type of blind would be a vinyl roller blind. The material is cheap and the blinds are easy to make. They are often used in rental properties where the landlord is keen to have a blind that’s cheap to replace when damaged.

The best blinds for keeping sun off windows are blinds made from canvas, mesh, acrylic and PVC. These materials are tough enough to withstand exposure to sunlight and rain. However, the type of blind best suited is not technically a blind at all, but an awning. An awning extends from the structure, which means the sun and rain are kept at arm’s length. Air can circulate under the awning, making it a good place to sit outside on a patio in summer. Some awnings can be extended some distance from the house and can become an active family space for barbecues and get-togethers while remaining sheltered.

Yes, we do offer an obligation free measure and quote. We make sure you have the correct sizes as well as the type of blind you want and the materials, so that the quote is accurate.

Venetian blinds are popular due to their dramatic appearance – they are a major way of transforming your home’s look. They have been popular since the mid-1700s, when Venetian traders began to introduce them into Europe from Persia (technically, they are ‘Persian blinds’). First made from aluminium in the 1940s, they were updated and became the height of modern cool in the 1970s. Since then, venetian blinds have replaced curtains in the homes of the ultra-modern urbanites and continue as fixtures in apartments across the globe.

It is possible to replace a slat in a blind, however you should contact us to see whether it would be just as economical to replace the entire blind.

Some blinds are harder to keep clean than others, but there are handy tools to get the job done faster. For example, venetian blinds can be cleaned with a special top and bottom brush that removes dust from both sides. The easiest blinds to clean are roller blinds because they have a single surface that doesn’t attract dust, although they can fall victim to grubby little hands.
