Types of blinds on the balcony

Despite the incredible love of women for the textile design of windows, namely curtains, blinds are increasingly taking the lead in certain areas. For example, an office or retail space is difficult to imagine with curtains on windows.

In apartments and houses curtains made of natural materials are still on the first place, but there are places where necessarily there will be no drapes. On the balcony or on the loggia, the hostess is increasingly choosing a simple but very practical option - blinds. Moreover, the choice of this decor for windows is simply huge.

What is the blind for the balcony? First of all, this means of protecting the room from sunlight and prying eyes. Secondly - this, of course, means of decorating space, and very durable and durable.

So, all the blinds can be divided into two main components. The first is what they are made of, and the second is the types of their device. Let's start in order and analyze the materials, from which manufacturers prefer to make slats for blinds.

The most common use of fabric, as it is not very expensive, easy and quite uncomfortable in operation. It is also necessary to stipulate that the tissue itself in its natural form is rarely used. Manufacturers prefer polyester. As a result, inexpensive, not sunbathing, but stylish enough for the balcony or balcony. The color palette is huge, which allows designers not to limit their imagination.

The next material for the manufacture of lamellas for blinds on a balcony or loggia can be called plastic. Its main quality is durability, ability to keep the form, that is, they do not bend and do not crumple, do not change color with time, well, and most importantly, calmly withstand temperature changes.

Approximately the same indicators as plastic, have metal slats. For their manufacture use an alloy of aluminum and magnesium. Color solutions for blinds on the balcony of metal slats can also be unique. The only drawback is their rattling. Even in a small draft, or with ventilation, such lamellas can make a monotonous, but very unpleasant noise.

Undoubtedly, it is worth mentioning the shutters on the balcony made of wooden slats. Their presence can not but affect the interior, as they are able to create a unique atmosphere, not only in the windows, but in the whole room. For the production of lamellas, very strong, but light enough, wood species are used. Naturally, this affects the price, it is an order of magnitude higher than that of the same blinds with lamellas made of fabric or plastic.

Next, it is worth considering the types of blinds by the way they are used. So, all the blinds are divided into vertical, horizontal and roll copies. Vertical can fit into any interior, as they are easily adjusted to the size and color scheme. Moreover, they are used in doorways.

Horizontal shutters to the balcony also have the ability to satisfy the buyer, both in color and as materials, but their distinctive feature is the ability to leave the window sill free, while not opening the window.

Approximately the same indicators and roller blinds, but for their production is most often used fabric, so in some cases they have to give up.
