Give your windows stunning looks using roman blinds
Roman
shades are a type of window covering used to block out the sun. Roman shades
are different from standard window shade in that they stack up evenly when
being opened; however, when they are open they are visibly smooth, not bumpy or
ribbed like typical vertical shades or blinds
Roman blinds are made from fabric that is designed to pleat when
raised. The blinds are constructed by mounting slats, which are connected to
cords, into the back of a fabric panel. When the blind is lifted, the cords
pull the slats together and force the blind to fold into pleats.
Different types of fabric can be used for Roman blinds, from
silk and linen to cotton and synthetics. They are a great alternative to
curtains, as there’s a huge variety of colors, patterns and textiles are
available.
Roman blinds allow for easy and effective light control. They
can be adjusted depending on the time of day or season, and blackout options
are available if total darkness is required. By choosing thermal lining,
they can also be made more energy-efficient.
Pros
- Roman shades provide a timeless look
to interiors. Available in a range of designs and fabrics, they’re quite
versatile and suit almost any type of decor. For example, if minimalism is what
you want to achieve, go for white fabric Roman blinds that will complement your
sleek and simple furniture. If you want something more traditional, opt for
floral corduroy or charcoal crushed velvet.
- Roman blinds are often made of heavy
fabric with a dual lining that offers great insulation. So, whether you’re
looking to keep heat out or in, these window treatments are perfect for all
seasons.
- Since Roman blinds are made of one whole piece of fabric, with no gaps to filter light, you can block sunlight completely to enjoy privacy.
Cons
- Roman blinds create a stack at the
top of the window when they are opened or raised. This can block the upper
portion of your window view and minimize light and air filtration.
- Roman shades do not usually come in
different sizes and shapes, so you need to customize them to fit your window
openings.
- Roman shades often hold onto
moisture, which results in damp and Mould issues. This makes them inappropriate
for bathrooms and kitchens that remain humid for long periods of time.
- Roman blinds operate on a cord or the chain drive system and any loose or dangling cord is a strangulation hazard
for kids and pets
