Perforated blinds

Blinds are an excellent solution to protect the room from bright sunlight and prying eyes. Initially, they were used only in large offices, where the care of windows required a minimum of time and money. Over time, this product of lamellae, connected to each other, moved to ordinary residential buildings, adding comfort in everyday use. Unlike classic curtains they do not absorb dust, do not need to be washed and ironed, reliably protect against excessive lighting and are easy to clean even without special cleaning products.

Perforated blinds - a relatively new phenomenon in the market for window shades and not only. By design, they represent ordinary horizontal blinds, but the slats are made with perforation over the entire area. This allows you to create a pleasant diffused light, even with fully closed curtains.

The most common lamella thickness parameter is 25 and 50 mm. The main material for the manufacture is aluminum. This relatively inexpensive material has great strength, is resistant to direct sunlight, is very light, well-suited for cleaning, which allows the use of blinds in rooms where there are high sanitary requirements. Blinds can even be used in medical facilities. However, they will successfully fit into the interior of an ordinary apartment due to a fairly wide color range, especially for products with a thinner slat.

This kind of sun-protection systems is made personally according to customer’s window measurements. Initially, perforations are made along the entire length of the workpiece, and then slats of the desired size are cut and holes are drilled for the so-called “ladder” through which the fastening thread will pass. Since there are a lot of perforations and they are very small, some of them fall on the edge, thereby creating sharp irregularities that can damage the thread over time and lead to its complete rubbing. Try to collect and disassemble perforated louvers less often - this will significantly prolong their service life.

This type of blinds will serve as an excellent solution for large spacious rooms with a wide panoramic window. They will add comfort and create a relaxing atmosphere even in the hottest noon, when there is a need to disperse too bright light a little.

Another use of this type of product may be to use them as doors. They are easy to install and do not require a lot of space compared to other solutions. It is worth using them only in enclosed spaces, as they let the rain and the wind well and are not suitable for use on the street. Ideal for dividing zones in a large house or for doors to a haterobic one.

In addition to aluminum, perforations are also found in wooden blinds. They create a unique comfort, and the holes facilitate the construction, because the lamellae made of wood are quite heavy.This option will be very environmentally friendly, here the edges of the holes are not so sharp and the thread is less prone to rubbing, but this material has drawbacks. Wet cleaning design is contraindicated, only dry cleaning. In addition, they have a high cost.

A special type of perforated blinds are products with a pattern. Designers decided to use the holes in the curtain as an element of the picture.

They are arranged in such a way that at the top of the window there is a minimum number of holes for maximum protection from the sun. The lower half of the window does not need much density, there would not hurt more light. This is the basis of the picture. For such purposes, suitable blinds roll type, because they consist of one solid sheet.

One of the popular variations of the perforated pattern is the night city. When the curtains are down, it seems that you can see glowing skyscrapers and endless streets in the distance. This will be a good solution for a teenager's bedroom, because at this age you want to feel like a part of something big.

In general, blinds have a large number of positive reviews.They are relevant both in the kitchen and in the bedroom or living room. It is easy to take care of them and wash them, they as much as possible protect from the sun and have long service life. Another advantage is that their installation does not need curtain rods.

To determine how wide the curtains should be, there are simple measurement rules:

• If the blinds are hung on the door or on a separate sash window, then the width is to take the distance from one outer edge of the bead to the other. Measure the height in the same way, and to the resulting size it is worth adding 3.5-4 cm.
• When installing structures on windows It is necessary to measure the width and height from slope to slope. To the width you add the value by which the blinds will protrude beyond the plastic window. To the height it is worth adding from 10 to 15 cm, depending on the final result.
