A good set of blinds would be a great addition
to your home decor. But what is a blind in the first place? Well, it’s a single
piece of fabric designed to cover your windows in a way that it can be raised
or lowered, depending on your needs at hand.
Most rainbow blinds in Singapore are made
of a number of either horizontal or vertical fabrics that can be controlled by
the use of a manual chain or rope. There are 5 common types of blinds you need
to know, these include:

- Plantation shutters
- Venetian blinds
- Light filtering blinds
- Roman blinds
- Blackout blinds
- Roller blinds
So what benefits do good rainbow
blinds offer to you?
Although it depends on quality, the
benefits that come with different blinds are indispensable. We can categorize
these benefits in three aspects including temperature control, privacy, and
protection against theft.
- Temperature control - depending on the current, there is an ongoing need to maintain temperatures to the appropriate levels. In most cases, we leave that to the air conditioner, which in return adds on to your energy bills. But with rainbow blinds at your home, you are able to reduce the effect of sun's heat on your furnishings and home, thereby reducing that dependency on air conditioners.
- Privacy - at daytime you may prefer to open the blinds in order to let in some sunshine and create an ambiance with some warmth in your home. However, when night comes, privacy become a need to most people. Good quality roller blinds offer this luxury.
- Protection against theft – without a proper cover to your windows, it is easy for thieves to know about the valuables displayed in your home by just looking through your window. With a reliable blind, it can help to prevent that from happening.
Now, how do you choose the best rainbow
blinds for your home?
It is simple:
1.
Choose
blinds according to benefits you want to gain. For instance, if you want to
reduce heat loss, pick blinds that leave little or no gaps for air to get
through. In that case, you can go with plantation shutters. If retaining heat
is not the main priority, you can consider installing vinyl roller blinds. They
are also cheap and give little heat retention.
2.
There
is also the aspect of blinds that work well in wet rooms like bathrooms and
kitchen. Light filtering blinds would work best for those areas. They remain
down like a screen and lets in light but blocks out neighbors and passersby
from looking inside.
3.
If
you want style and a bit of sophistication, roman blinds and light blockage
offer that. However, these are not suitable for wet rooms.
4.
Are
you living in high-fire-risk areas? Well, consider fireproof blinds as they
will act like one of your risk management strategy. Some roller blinds can be
customized to fit your window spaces, which bring a great sense of design. In
addition to that, roller blinds can be interlinked from window to window thus
you’ll not require additional chains hanging down.
Finally, did you know that some rainbow
blinds could complement with your outdoor features? Well, consider using the
Retractable Awing.
