ROLLER BLINDS, PLEATED BLINDS AND VENETIAN BLINDS
Roller blinds
Roller blinds are practical window coverings that are both convenient to use and easy to install. With a well-chosen blind fabric, this practical window covering can be turned into an exciting interior design element. From our colour range, you can find the right shade for any room. For roller blinds, specially treated fabrics are used – from sheer to blackouts, from light shades to dark and bright ones.
With roller blinds, you can control the temperature and protect the room from sunlight. Blinds are usually used in rooms where it is necessary to hide the view for a certain period of the day. The view can be adjusted by leaving the blind fully in front of the window or leaving half of the window open. Blackout roller blinds are well suited for a bedroom, where the technical curtain can be made more cosy by adding tulle curtains on the rails.
The roller blind takes up little space in front of the window, so it is suitable for tight conditions where there is not enough space for a curtain on rails or a rod.
- Please note that roller blinds are not suitable for use on wide windows and cannot be washed in the same way as fabric curtains.
Zebra blinds
Innovative zebra blinds allow to cover the window completely or leave it partially open. Horizontal zebra stripes allow you to adjust the blinds as needed – the stripes of the two layers of fabric can be left alternately to adjust the light. If you want to cover up the light, the stripes of the two layers of fabric can be left aligned. Zebra blinds made of bright coloured fabrics make a fun interior element for children’s room. Using light grey or white fabric instead, they are perfect for office space.

Screen blinds
Screen blinds are a must for office spaces where the sun light disturbs people working with monitors. Screen or mesh fabric is a sheer material that reflects sunlight and heat, but still allows light to enter the room and does not obscure the view. The fabric blocks almost 95% of incoming UV radiation.
Screenkangast rulood on hea kasutada koos teiste tekstiilkardinatega, luues hubase ja mõnusa atmosfääri. Ruloo paistab läbi, mistõttu ei varja ta õhtusel ajal vaadet tuppa. Kasutades lisaks külgkardinaid saab need õhtu saabudes akendele ette tõmmata ning päevasel ajal taas ainult rulood kasutada.
Pleated blinds
Pleated blinds are window coverings made of a special material and they fold and unfold. These blinds can have both a practical and a decorative function at the same time. Their range of colours, patterns and textures is extremely wide and they are perfect for both residential and office spaces. By choosing a pleated blind in a shade similar to the walls and other furnishings in the room, you will create a cosy atmosphere. If you want to use the curtain as an interior design element, we recommend choosing a pleated blind in a contrasting colour or with an interesting texture.
Their biggest advantage among other window coverings is the small size of the structure, which allows to install them even in very narrow conditions. Pleated blinds are strong and durable, they protect the room against bright day light and help regulate the temperature in the room. The materials used are moisture- and fade-resistant fabrics that are easy to clean and maintain.
Pleated blinds can be used as blackout curtains, for example in the bedroom. In that case, the best solution would be blinds made of waffle fabric. A special fabric with a honeycomb cross-section usually hides the vertical lifting cords running through the blind, and sun beams do not get into the room through the rows of holes. However, we would like to point out that some light still penetrates from the sides and with pleated blinds the 100% blackout effect cannot be achieved. The waffle fabric maintains the room temperature because the air in the fabric slows down the heat exchange, reducing heat loss during the cold period and overheating of the rooms during the sunny period.
Venetian blinds
Venetian blinds are window coverings made of horizontal aluminium or wooden slats, which are well suited for rooms where light adjustment is important. By changing the angle of slats, you can easily adjust the amount of light entering the room throughout the day. The inclination angle can be adjusted so that the view from the room is not obstructed, but the view into the room is protected against prying eyes.
Today, Venetian blinds are used not only in offices but also in residential spaces. Venetian blinds with wooden slats create a cosy and warm atmosphere. The shade of wood can be also used for decorative purposes. To create a suitable interior, we will find the right shades and surface finishes for your home.
Blinds can be installed in front of the window opening on the wall, in the window opening, on the ceiling or on glass strips.
What to look for when choosing wooden slats?
- Wooden slats are not suitable for use in damp rooms because the slats tend to twist when exposed to water, the wood may swell at the point of contact and as a result the surface will be stained. For damp rooms, we recommend choosing aluminium slats that are waterproof.
- Wooden slats are more difficult to move up and down than aluminium ones because they weigh much more. We recommend using Venetian blinds on windows where the blinds do not need to be moved very often.
