Roman blinds consist of a single piece of fabric that folds into neat, horizontal pleats when raised using a chain mechanism. When lowered, the fabric lays flat, providing a soft, elegant, and luxurious appearance similar to curtains but with a more streamlined design.
They offer a cozy and sophisticated feel. They can be fitted with various linings, including thermal and blackout, to enhance insulation and light control.
Roller blinds are made from a single piece of fabric that wraps around a free-spinning rod located at the top of the window. They are operated by a side chain, cord mechanism to roll up or down smoothly.
They offer a sleek, simple, and modern look and are a cost-effective option. Available in various light-filtering, translucent, or blackout options, making them versatile for any room, including kitchens and bathrooms.
Venetian blinds are composed of horizontal slats that are held together by cords or strips of tape. A control mechanism allows you to raise and lower the blinds, as well as tilt the slats to precisely angle the amount of light entering the room.
They provide a classic, versatile look and offer superior light and privacy control. They are suitable for various rooms, with metal or faux wood options being excellent for high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
​Common materials include aluminum, real wood, or faux wood (PVC).
Duo roller blinds, also known as Day & Night Blinds, are an innovative window treatment featuring two layers of fabric with alternating horizontal stripes of sheer (translucent) and opaque (solid) material. A single control mechanism allows the layers to glide past each other, providing versatile light and privacy control.
Duo roller blinds offer a modern, sleek, and contemporary style with a distinctive layered effect. They are available in a wide range of colors and patterns to match any interior design.
Also known as honeycomb or cellular shades, Duette blinds are made of a pleated fabric that forms honeycomb-shaped pockets or cells. These unique cells are designed to trap air.
They have a clean, contemporary appearance and offer excellent energy efficiency and sound absorption. They provide insulation by reducing heat loss in winter and blocking heat gain in summer, potentially lowering energy bills.
Made of soft, durable polyester fabric and available in various opacities, from sheer to blackout.
Vertical blinds feature long, individual slats (vanes) that hang vertically from a track at the top. A wand or chain control allows the user to slide the vanes across the window and tilt them to control light and privacy.
They are particularly suited for large windows, patio doors, or sliding glass doors where horizontal blinds are impractical. They offer a practical, classic look and excellent light management.
