The Benefits of Roller Blinds for Windows
Its windows are a home's most generous architectural feature, providing illuminating light and stunning views that make the space unique. As an Illinois homeowner, finding a window treatment that accentuates your home’s unique beauty and aesthetic is imperative.
Roller blinds—more commonly known as roller shades—are popular window treatments with a simplistic style and practical functionality. Today, our team at SunGard Window Fashions will discuss the benefits of roller shades, our favorite window treatment that combines a blind and roller shade into one, and how adding a motorized system can be an excellent solution for your home.
The Many Perks of Roller Blinds for Windows
- An Uncluttered, Sleek Aesthetic: If you like a minimalistic interior, roller shades are the perfect choice. They have clean, uncluttered lines and can fit snugly within the window's frame. Unlike curtains that may stand out against a flat window, shades draw all the attention to the beauty of your window.
- Variety of Colors and Patterns: One of the most exciting benefits of roller shades is the variety of colors and patterns from which to choose. Whether you prefer a calm neutral, a bright, bold solid fabric, or an interesting pattern, you will find something that blends in with your existing design motif and satisfies your design appetite.
- Superior Light and Privacy Control: You can select from various opacities, from sheer to blackout, depending on your personal preferences. Because roller shades are so light, you can raise or lower them quite easily if you prefer manual operation.
Pirouette® Sheer Shades: A Blind and Roller Shade in One
If you want a blind and shade rolled into one style of window covering, then Hunter Douglas Pirouette® Sheer Shades are a perfect choice. These luxurious sheer shades enhance light and privacy control with a combination of opaque fabric vanes attached to a single light-diffusing sheer back panel. You can select from over 90 fabric choices and two different vane sizes, including those with superior view-through capabilities with ClearView® sheers. Take in views of the outside world but still maintain your privacy—a perfect feature if you live on a busy street or want variable light control.
