Why Choose Roller Blinds?

This month, we’re going to be focusing on one of the most popular and versatile styles of blind on the market: roller blinds. From their easy-wipe, low-maintenance quality to their simple yet elegant aesthetic, roller blinds are a staple in homes up and down the UK for good reason. If you’re still using curtains in your living room and considering a different form of window treatment, roller blinds could be exactly what you’re looking for. Read on to find out some of the key benefits.

Easy maintenance

Thanks to their simple design, that is, one sheet of material that remains coiled at the top of the window and extends over it, roller blinds are very easy to keep clean. A gentle wipe with a cloth every now and then should be enough to keep dust and dirt at bay.

Their simplicity helps in other areas too. For example, thanks to the sheer lack of components and high quality fabrics, roller blinds rarely break. As a result, roller blinds will function perfectly year on year, especially if the material has been treated to resist UV.

Variety

One of the main reasons why roller blinds are so popular is due to the wide variety of materials and designs on offer. From daring prints to functional, flame-retardant fabrics, there are endless options, and given that you literally have a blank canvas to work with, you can go as complex or basic with the styling as you want.

Easy to operate

Roller blinds are certainly one of the easiest styles of blind to operate for domestic and commercial purposes; they almost never get jammed too, thanks to the simple coiling system. On top of this, roller blinds can be fully motorised, making operating them an even simpler process!

Blackout option

Given the popularity of blackout blinds to aid sleep, it’s certainly a huge benefit that roller blinds make great blackout blinds. Although the right fabric will have to be fitted, roller blinds will be able to block out almost 100% of sunlight, meaning that catching an early night in a height of summer is a great deal easier!

Simple elegance

For all those minimalists out there, roller blinds never fail to add a touch of pared-back beauty to a home. Their single-sheet structure allows the blind to lay flush with the window, avoiding any unsightly loose material, and making the window look pleasantly unfussy.
