Fabric Roller Blinds: Main Types and Characteristics

Modern fabric roller blinds are a convenient and practical beauty

In store assortments, there is a huge selection of various types of roller blinds, which differ in fabrics, colors, light reflection ability, and mounting method.

Fabrics

For this type of curtain, polyester is best suited as it is highly durable, does not absorb odors, and does not get dirty. But also sometimes viscose, nylon, cotton, or linen are used for making roller blinds. All fabrics are treated with special substances to increase the wear resistance of the curtain coating.

Colors

Choosing a color is a very individual matter that depends on the client's taste. The range of colors presented in the online store http://sunstyle.kiev.ua/rolety.html is large, so you can always find suitable options for any interior. Keep in mind that fabric roller blinds can be plain, multicolored, with patterns, photo printing, and other decorative elements.

Light Reflection

Light reflection is a parameter that depends on how much you want to limit light transmission. Curtains can be completely transparent and translucent if there is a need to slightly refract sunlight. For rooms located on the sunny side, curtains with a high degree of light reflection are suitable, as such curtains do not let sunlight through at all.

Mounting Methods

The simplest and most popular type of roller blinds is open blinds. Such blinds have no cassettes, and the fabric is wound onto a regular shaft attached to the sides. On the sides, the fabric's path is held by special fishing lines, and at the bottom, the blind's movement is regulated by weights. Such blinds are installed very easily and quickly.

More complex and compact are cassette blinds, whose shaft is hidden under a special cassette. Cassettes look very aesthetic and hide the mounting mechanism, protecting the upper surface of the fabric.

Blinds with small cassettes can be installed in the window opening, which will look very neat and compact. All blinds can have either manual or automatic control mechanism.
