Despite the incredible love of women for the textile design of windows, namely curtains, blinds are increasingly taking a leading position in certain areas. For example, it is difficult to imagine an office or a trading room with curtains on the windows.
In apartments and houses, curtains made of natural materials are still in the first place, but there are places where there will be no curtains. More often than not, mistresses choose a simple but very practical option on the balcony or on the loggia - blinds. Moreover, the choice of this decor for windows is simply huge.
What are blinds for a balcony? First of all, it is a means of protecting the room from sunlight and prying eyes. Secondly - it is, of course, a means of decorating space, and it is very strong 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 lamellas for blinds.
Most often, fabric is used, since it is not very expensive, lightweight and quite unprincipled in operation. It is also worth mentioning that the fabric itself in its natural form is rarely used. Manufacturers prefer polyester. The result is inexpensive, not fading in the sun, but quite stylish blinds for a loggia 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, the ability to keep in shape, that is, they do not bend or crumple, do not change color over time, and, most importantly, they can easily withstand temperature changes.
About the same indicators as plastic, metal lamellas have. An alloy of aluminum and magnesium is used for their manufacture. Color solutions for blinds on the balcony of metal lamellas can also be unique. The only negative is their crackling. Even in a small draft, or when airing, such lamellas can make a monotonous, but very unpleasant noise.
Undoubtedly, it is worth mentioning the blinds on the balcony of wooden slats. Their presence cannot but affect the interior, since they can create a unique atmosphere not only on the windows, but throughout the room. For the production of lamellas, especially strong, but at the same time quite light 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 ones can fit into any interior, as they are easily adjusted in size and color scheme. Moreover, they are used in
doorways.Horizontal blinds on the balcony also have the ability to satisfy the buyer, both in color and in the quality of the materials, but their distinguishing feature is the ability to leave the window sill free, without opening the window.
Roller blinds have about the same indicators , but for their manufacture fabric is most often used, so in some cases they have to be abandoned.
