Classification of blinds by type of design and location of slats
The main division of sun protection systems occurs according to the method of lamella arrangement and the presence of a special control system. There are even options in which the lamellas are absent and a solid sheet of material is used.
Horizontal blinds with wooden slats
- Horizontal. The slats are the same size, arranged horizontally, fastened with a nylon ladder and cords coming out from the base of the cornice. With their help, the system is controlled. The main advantage of this type is maximum protection from the sun. The design is easy to install and operate. The material can be aluminum, wood and its substitutes, synthetic and natural fabrics, plastic, thick paper.
Vertical blinds look appropriate not only in the office, but also in a cozy home environment
- Vertical. The slats are arranged vertically, attached to the cornice with special holders from above, and connected to each other by a chain from below. The stability of the elements is ensured by their own weight or the introduction of special weights into their lower parts. Most of the materials used are pre-treated with compounds that provide water- and dust-repellent properties. Vertical slats are easy to care for. The combination of elements provides the structures with an original appearance, which makes them indispensable in rooms with a non-standard layout. Plastic, wood, and fabric are used as base materials.
Roller blinds on the loggia are an excellent option, as they make absolutely no noise even in strong gusts of wind
- Rolled. Products consisting of a cylinder roller on which dense fabric is wound. In addition, the system includes a lifting mechanism with a lock. If desired, the blinds can be unrolled to the desired length or assembled into a tight roll. The optimal solution for plastic windows in small rooms. In the manufacture of structures, special perforated fabric can be used, which will protect from prying eyes, while allowing you to observe what is happening on the other side of the window.
Pleated curtains - a stylish solution in the kitchen interior
- Pleated. New on the blinds market. They combine the positive aspects of horizontal structures and the advantages of pleated fabric. The material is collected in dense, neat folds that are not noticeable against the background of the window. The main advantage of this type is the ability to decorate windows of any shape.
Electric curtains will allow you to change the lighting of the room without even getting up from the sofa
- Electrically driven. The design stands out as a separate type due to certain functional qualities. The systems can be mounted to the ceiling or to the wall above the window, this allows you to use the window sill without restrictions. Electronic control allows you not only to lower and raise the slats, but also to rotate them at any angle. Wall control or a special remote control is possible. If a complex system of several panels is being installed, segmental control can be installed.
Before making a decision to install systems, it is necessary to study all types of blinds, make sure that the design can be used on a specific window, and correlate the design solution with the basic style of the room.
Plastic blinds with gradient
Vertical blinds
Vertical blinds are a convenient and practical alternative to curtains. They consist of a cornice and, attached perpendicularly to it, 89 mm wide lamellas, which rotate around their axis by 180°, which allows you to adjust the luminous flux in any weather.
The lamellas can be fabric and plastic, as well as combine different materials - multi-textured.
Vertical blinds can be attached to the opening. In this case, the room seems larger, but the window sill will be occupied by slats since they must turn freely and your favorite flowers will have to be moved to another place. This mounting option is suitable for those windows that do not have opening sashes or that have a blind part at the top of the window, since the cornice, due to its size, can prevent the sash from opening.
Basically, vertical blinds are attached to the opening (to the wall or to the ceiling). The wider and higher the opening of the blinds, the visually larger the window appears
There are 4 main types of vertical blinds:
- multi-textured
- plastic
- fabric
- Breeze blinds
Protective blinds (roller shutters)
These blinds are made in rolls. They are installed on doors and windows of houses and garages. Their main purpose is protection from burglars. To do this, they are installed outside to make it difficult for intruders to break the glass and get inside. They also help protect against bad weather, dust, noise and light. Choice of material. When choosing blinds for apartments with plastic windows, you need to pay attention to the material of the structures. They can be fabric, plastic, metal or wood. The decision depends on where the structure is intended, what kind of sunlight there is in a given room and the characteristics of the material, including its care and durability of use. Fabric blinds are especially popular as they are versatile and very cozy. They can be cleaned and washed with powder or soap. The main materials used are jacquard material with great sun protection properties and non-flammable fiberglass fabric. To make the fabric last longer, it is impregnated with a special compound. You also need to pay attention to the density of the fabric, on which the service life also depends. Plastic blinds are used in kitchens, balconies and offices. They are very reliable, do not bend, do not deform, and do not change color when exposed to the sun. They are easy to care for and clean from dirt. All this applies to expensive plastic made of high-quality material. Cheaper material may turn yellow in the sun and crack if handled carelessly. High-quality plastic blinds can be easily wiped with a damp sponge, vacuumed and washed with soap and water. Fans of environmental cleanliness can take a closer look at wooden blinds . They are also called Venetian. But these are the most expensive of all designs. They have an original and attractive appearance and look good in rich interiors.
Wooden blinds are made from valuable wood. This is a very durable material. But such blinds do not tolerate moisture, so they can only be wiped with a dry cloth or vacuumed. The slats of wooden blinds consist of thin wooden slats, connected into a whole canvas with a rope. They come in different sizes and can be either horizontal or vertical slats. The curtain is so flexible that it can be rolled up. Metal blinds are rarely used in everyday life. They are made from light but durable duralumin alloys. They are not susceptible to moisture and ultraviolet radiation, they are easy to care for, but they rattle a lot in a draft. Most often they are purchased for premises in various industries.
Practical tips for choosing blinds
- The choice of blinds depends on the chosen method of fixing them in the window, to the wall or ceiling. This can be done with self-tapping screws using drilling. But it’s better to do without this by using brackets or double-sided tape.
- Installing blinds in the window will increase the space of the room, but you won’t be able to put flowers on the windowsill because they will get in the way. When you attach the blinds like curtains to the cornice or ceiling, the window will be closed, and flower pots can be placed on the windowsill.
- The choice of blinds size depends on the choice of fastening. If placed inside a window, the blinds should be just above the sill. When attached to the cornice, they should be 10 cm wider than the window. Long blinds should not reach the floor approximately 5 cm.
- The method of management also matters. When operating manually, you must have access to the system.
- To be able to open the window with the blinds assembled, it is better to install separate panels on both sashes.
How to install blinds on plastic windows?
It is not difficult to install blinds on plastic windows yourself. This is done like this:
- The purchased structure is unpacked and the fishing line and guide chain are unwound.
- Open the decorative trim for the body.
- Blinds are placed against the window opening so that they fit inside.
- If gaps have formed, they can be eliminated using the included pads.
- The blinds are secured using long self-tapping screws.
- Install plugs and decorative trim.
- Secure the guide line.
Caring for blinds To maintain blinds in good condition, they need to be looked after. It is easiest in this regard with structures made of metal or plastic, since they can be washed with powder or soap solution. Wooden blinds can be cleaned without using water. Caring for fabric blinds is more difficult. They are washed like this:
- Remove the chain and take out the weights.
- The runners are removed.
- The lamellas are rolled up, tied in gauze and placed in warm soapy water.
- Leave in water for some time.
- Take it out and hang it in place when wet.
Original designs Fans of everything unusual and original can transfer this desire to the choice of blinds. Nowadays it is quite possible to find beautiful and unusual solutions for this fashionable interior. For example:
- Figured structures made of plastic. They have zigzag slats in a wave pattern and allow sunlight passing into the rooms to create interesting combinations of reflected shadows.
- Multi-texture blinds are very unusual, as their canvas is made with patterns. Gold or silver inserts are used to decorate them.
- Vertical blinds with tulle decoration.
When installing regular blinds, the room can be decorated by choosing a decorative cornice. To control structures, automation has been invented that responds to remote control signals. But it's so expensive that most people prefer to just pull the string.
Vertical blinds "Breeze"
Vertical blinds “Breeze” are a decorative element that partially performs a light-protective function.
The device is made on the principle of ordinary vertical blinds, but the slats are represented by even rows of colored ropes. They are attached to lamella holders and hang down freely, creating the illusion of a chic summer shower. When closed, Breeze blinds allow diffused sunlight to pass through. It looks great, especially on panoramic windows. Unlike ordinary vertical blinds, rope blinds do not have weights or chains at the bottom, making them look even lighter and airier. This window design gives the interior mystery and comfort.
The maximum length of the rope fabric is 3 meters. If you install a cornice on the ceiling outside the window area, the blinds will serve as a transparent curtain, dividing the space of the room into functional blocks.
Application
The main advantage of rope blinds is that they can be used not only for window decoration or light protection. They can look great in a doorway, effectively blocking the view. The rope “canvas” can become the threshold of a niche or corridor. It also plays the role of a screen well, dividing the space so as not to reduce it visually, but only to slightly veil the outlines of objects.
Owners of cafes and restaurants have already appreciated all the advantages of rope curtains in practice. There is no more suitable material for creating partitions between tables or guest areas. By blocking the view only partially, evenly hanging threads allow you to separate from others, while avoiding the feeling of enclosed space.
Varieties
Breeze vertical rope blinds come in three types:
- Classic is a standard model where the slats consist of threads of the same color. In this design, rope curtains combine well with a classic interior, giving it lightness and originality.
- Multi – two-color option. On each of the lamellas, the threads are arranged in one layer alternating two different colors. It looks much brighter, catchier and colorful, so the scope of application of such products includes children's rooms or rooms decorated in a modern style.
- Doubl – two-layer rope blinds. The threads are arranged in 2 rows, while one is solid and serves as a background, and the other, consisting of a rope, effectively complements and refreshes it. Double curtains do a better job of providing light protection.
Types of blinds
Depending on the type of fastening of the main parts (lamellas), the structures can be vertical or horizontal. These curtains are available in different shades and textures. Many materials have been developed for this type of curtain.
Horizontal models
Models with horizontal slats consist of thin slats located one above the other at a short distance. You can adjust their degree of rotation around their axis, completely raise or lower the curtain. Manufacturers produce fiberglass windows with built-in blinds.
Such models are more expensive than conventional fiberglass structures.
Dust and dirt are retained on the lamellas, grease accumulates on the surface, which enters the air during cooking and settles on smooth surfaces. Over time, the protective layer applied to the planks wears off, causing the base to begin to rust or deform.
Built-in products are convenient because you can easily open the doors: the slats are fixed inside the double-glazed window, between the glass sheets or attached to the frame.
Built-in models
Such designs save useful space: you can put anything on the windowsill without fear of touching objects. The position of the lamellas is adjusted through an extended handle with a cable, a mechanical round handle or an electric drive.
Manufacturers offer designs in different sizes and colors. It all depends on the preferences of the owners. Slats longer than two meters gradually begin to sag under their own weight, become deformed and are difficult to adjust, so you need to choose them from high-quality materials.
Vertical models
If the window opening is of an unusual shape or high, vertically positioned slats will do.
The structures are made from plastic, fabric, paper, wood. Kitchen models differ from other designs in that they are coated with a special impregnation that is resistant to moisture, temperature changes and other aggressive factors.
Vertical curtain
New blinds are treated with protective compounds, but after the first wash or wet cleaning, the integrity of the protective film is damaged. It is recommended to treat with a special impregnation spray after each cleaning.
Models are available in different shapes. Arched ones easily accept the bend line of the opening, constantly keeping the slats in a strictly vertical position.
Unusual shape
But such curtains prevent the sash from fully opening for proper ventilation.
Roller blinds
Roller blinds are similar to fabric curtains made from a single piece of fabric. These designs do not have separate adjustable slats.
Such models are separated into a separate group due to the lifting system, the same as that of roller fabric curtains.
Plain panels complement elongated and small plastic windows. A rich range of colors allows you to choose options that fit well with the overall design style.
Roll version
Bright models create a catchy accent, diluting the main calm tone.
The product goes well with curtains that are similar in style, but you cannot choose gabardine to complement it, as the fabric can get inside the roller mechanism and ruin it.
Day-night modification
The model assumes the ability to regulate the degree of illumination without completely raising or lowering the roll by placing an additional sheet of less dense material on one of the sides.
Bright material looks good regardless of whether the blinds are closed or completely open.
Design in a classic style is often used, which is achieved by creating a relief on the surface of the lamellas.
Day-night blinds
For small windows, canvases with small patterns are selected, and for doorways, you can also use a large pattern.
It is important to choose the right texture of the blinds so that the curtains are in harmony with other details of the kitchen design.
Photoblinds
Products with printed images will help create an unusual look, which is very important when there are children in the house. You can choose cartoon motifs, choose elements of a fairy tale.
Photo printing is most often carried out on vertical and roll models, but modern products suggest the possibility of applying a pattern to horizontal slats. In this case, you need to choose not too thin strips.
Photo printing option
With a plate format, the entire picture can be seen when closed, when the slats are turned into the room.
The saturation of colors depends on the density of the curtains: the denser the plates, the better the dye is applied. Images on translucent blinds are unclear.
Printing on rolls
Photoblinds are used to decorate cafes, salons, offices, and apartments. Scenarios with picnics or tea parties, images of fruits and vegetables are suitable for the kitchen.
A detailed overview of the different types is offered in the following video:
Multi-texture blinds
Vertical blinds received the name “multi-texture” due to the fact that each lamella includes several textures (fabric, plastic and a special backing - groover).
For a more understandable perception, multi-textured blinds are also called patterned, since the blinds are made in the form of patterns. The slats are decorated with special mirror inserts of various colors. Thanks to the variety of design options and combinations of materials, each window acquires a unique style, and harmoniously fits into the overall design concept of residential and work spaces, creating the necessary emotional mood.
Multi-textured blinds can be made either on one cornice (a single canvas with a base) or on two different cornices (base and lambrequin separately). This option is possible if the blinds are attached to the ceiling. Convenience here lies not only in the care of the products, the base and lambrequin are cleaned separately, but also in functionality, the lambrequin always decorates the window opening while the base can be adjusted the light flux.
Another, no less popular option is a multi-textured lambrequin as an independent decorative element. It decorates the opening, and the sun protection function is performed by other blinds, for example horizontal ones.
Plastic blinds
Vertical plastic blinds are exactly the same in design and functionality as fabric ones, with one exception: they have plastic slats and there is no weighting material at the bottom.
By turning the slats around their axis, you can adjust the light flow, but when the blinds are completely closed, no light will flow from the window into the room, since the slats are completely opaque.
Plastic blinds are very easy to maintain and can even be washed with a disinfectant solution, which is suitable for medical institutions and swimming pools.
A variety of colors and textures of plastic will allow you to choose blinds for different interiors.
Fabric blinds
Vertical fabric blinds allow you to create unique design compositions, providing all the color possibilities for your most tireless imagination.
Special antistatic and dust-repellent impregnation guarantees the durability of fabric vertical blinds and allows them to be cleaned easily and quickly (see care instructions)
offers more than 300 fabrics of various colors and textures: plain, patterned, jacquard, rubberized.
The light transmittance of vertical fabric blinds also varies, from light-diffusing to completely opaque.
In addition to the classic design of vertical blinds, we can offer lambrequins - these are blinds with a shaped bottom edge. This type of blinds is convenient in cases where there is no need to block out the sun, but you need to decorate the window opening. And the variety of shapes will allow you to fit the lambrequin into any interior style.

Cassette horizontal blinds
Another type of horizontal blinds is Isolite. These are aluminum cassette blinds for plastic windows. Their difference from ordinary horizontal blinds is that they have a small plastic box and are attached to the light opening of the sash. The original fastening system allows the blinds to fit organically into the structure of the window, forming a single whole with it, without interfering with the opening of the sashes or blocking access to the window handle. Isolite systems also have tension cables that securely fix the blinds to the sash, which makes it possible to safely open the windows for ventilation, eliminating sagging of the product. You can also highlight one very pleasant moment: the window sill space remains completely free and can be used as a work surface.
The body and cornices of the system are made of aluminum, which gives the product strength. You can be sure that in a short time the system will not become unusable and will serve you for a long time, will not lose its attractiveness and will retain its original appearance. The aluminum body makes them completely corrosion-resistant and prevents condensation from accumulating during temperature changes.
Cleaning and care:
Cassette blind systems are very easy to maintain; dust can be wiped off with a dry cloth or a special brush. If the contamination is more serious, we recommend carefully removing it with a damp sponge.

If you have finished renovating your home, then the time has probably come when you need to equip your home with beautiful blinds. However, this does not mean that you should completely abandon decorating your window with beautiful, elegant curtains. Both blinds and curtains have their advantages. Therefore, it can be difficult for home owners to choose between them. And if you belong to this category of people, then an article from the construction portal will allow you to find out the answer to the question of what is better to choose blinds or roller blinds for plastic windows.
All about blinds
French blinds mean jealousy. In the colonies of France - (Algeria, Morocco), according to tradition, windows were closed with special shutters, which consisted of thin strips. This invention made it possible for the residents of these houses to peep from behind the blinds and observe what was happening on the street at that moment, while remaining unnoticed. And this completely satisfied jealous men.
There are 2 types of blinds - horizontal and vertical.
The most common are vertical blinds. This option is considered more neutral. They can be used to decorate a window in an office or apartment by choosing a beautiful color. Although it should be noted that if we consider this product as an original accessory for a window, then it will not be very relevant in residential premises, unless you choose blinds made of beautiful fabric, or imitation of some non-woven materials.
And yet horizontal blinds are more popular today. And the most popular are classic blinds made of wood. Such designs are usually equipped with ribbon and cord, but thick wooden blinds are considered summer blinds. Wooden blinds are a special window decoration. And all because:
- First of all, this material is pleasing to the eye and is also environmentally friendly.
- Secondly, wood can be combined with thin and light tulle or curtains, or lambrequins made of linen and cotton, etc.
- Thirdly, the color scheme of these products increases every year due to the emergence of new finishing materials.
In order to protect your home or cottage from the sun's rays, very often shutters with wooden sticks are installed on the windows, which are attached to frames at certain angles to each other. These shutters can be easily opened to the outside. If the window frames are very large in width, then very often folding shutters are installed on them. And panels that create an imitation of shutters with slits are usually mounted on veranda frames or glass entrance doors.
If you are the owner of exquisite classic curtains, then placing them together with blinds in the opening of one window will be quite difficult. Try installing blinds between the frames. This will allow you to protect the room from excess sun, and you won’t have to look for additional space. By the way, you can place inter-frame blinds in unscrewing wooden frames. You can also purchase PVC windows with existing blinds, complete with an adjustable remote control.
Pleated blinds
From this article you can find out what is better: blinds or roller blinds. It is worth saying that modern blinds today have several options. In addition, they can be made of completely different materials. If you have not heard about pleated blinds, then in this part of the article we invite you to find out detailed information about them.
So, pleated blinds are relatives of classic blinds. They are a one-piece product that can be easily stretched and folded. This design is similar to accordion bellows. Pleated blinds are most often presented in the form of a horizontal product. But in turn, there are also vertical ones. They are usually used for interior decoration on glass terraces. If you stretch pleated blinds, you can see that they resemble a large number of hollow and soft cylinders that are tightly fastened to each other. Some types of pleated windows can be installed to the window frame itself without external damage. The window can be either wooden or plastic. This way you will save a lot of space. Models of blinds consisting of many layers resemble a honeycomb, and single-layer ones resemble a chain. In order to protect yourself as much as possible from the sun, the latest model is most often used. Pleated blinds are mainly made from cellulose fabrics. And to maintain its shape, the fabric used in the production of this type of blinds is impregnated with special compounds.
These compositions also contain many useful properties. For example, they can perfectly repel dust and various contaminants, and also protect blinds from external influences (high humidity and temperature changes). But let’s say blinds made of fiberglass are fireproof; when burned, they just melt. Therefore, it is recommended to install this type of blinds in the kitchen.
Pleated blinds have another advantage. Thanks to their special design, you can easily protect yourself from bright sunlight. They can be triangular, round and even trapezoidal. Many types of these blinds are available in dual colors. Let's say: on the outer surface of the pleated pleats there is a delicate pastel color, and their inner parts are in dark tones (dark gray or blue). This method creates an amazing visual effect and also fulfills its main role - protecting the room from the sun.
Roman curtains
People came up with the idea of lifting curtains and gathering them into small folds quite a long time ago. Roman blinds can be classified as this option. Initially, the manufacture of Roman blinds was made from very dense linen and cotton fabrics. Currently, you can find a large selection of different curtain fabrics (for example, tapestry), as well as very light ones (organza).
Roman blinds are made from a rectangular piece of fabric that completely matches the size of the window opening. These curtains can also have side curtain rods, with which you can easily lift this fabric, thereby obtaining elegant folds. Depending on what fabric is used in the production of Roman blinds, they are:
- winter (keep the house warm),
- summer – (maximum protection of premises from the sun).
The first version of the blinds is sewn using a lining. These blinds completely match the size of the window opening and cover all the cracks. It is better not to combine this type of blinds with lambrequins. Most often, the lambrequin effect can be detected on the product due to the peculiarities of the cut: the upper part of these blinds is sewn from a different type of fabric. Drawstrings located on the side parts of this product can also be made from it. The most important thing in this case is the correctly selected combination of all fabrics used in color and pattern. For example, a Roman blind is made of a plain fabric; the drawstring and cornice also do not have a pattern, but have a bright contrasting color. An elegant tulle with a beautiful pattern, which will match the color of the main curtain, will look very beautiful next to it.
Blinds and curtains made of various materials
Bamboo is still considered one of the most sought-after and popular materials. A lot of different types of wooden blinds are made from it. The benefits of bamboo are very difficult to overestimate, since bamboo is resistant to moisture, is an environmentally friendly material, and also practically does not fade from exposure to sunlight. This material is quite aesthetic and can be combined with a wide variety of interior styles.
But the most popular blind in the world at the moment is straw. Today, blinds made from straw are very popular. The Japanese offer another option to beautifully shade your room. Japanese curtains consist of light translucent fabric and a thin frame that can move along curtain rods and strings stretched horizontally.
Quite a beautiful solution in the interior are fabric blinds. Sometimes, you can find on sale or order blinds that will completely imitate various textile accessories found in the room - a bedspread or furniture upholstery.
In addition to all of the above, there is another method to protect yourself from the annoying sun - roller blinds. Just like Roman blinds, this type of blinds is a rectangular canvas along the width of the window opening. But to be able to lift these curtains, you will need to roll them into a roll, which acts as an upper curtain rod.
- The upper part of the roll can be hidden with a plastic lambrequin of the same color as the fabric itself.
- The lower part of a roller blind, as a rule, can be trimmed with scallops.
In addition, roller blinds can be more impressive, especially if you want to combine classic curtains next to them. It is necessary to make a rectangular pattern from a piece of fabric, the width of the window opening, but quite long. The upper part of this curtain is firmly mounted to the upper cornice, and the drawstrings need to be sewn evenly along the entire canvas. Decorative tapes are inserted into the latter, which subsequently secure the lower part of the edge of the fabric, which is rolled into a roll. This type of curtains perfectly complements the interior and looks great on high windows.
The most popular at the moment are roller blinds - mats. This type of blinds goes well with wicker furniture and will also suit an oriental interior. It is worth noting that decorating in the form of mats is very diverse, which is why in this case you can choose different thicknesses of slats or select the appropriate tone, method of fastening, etc. On sale you can find mat curtains that are stitched with regular thread (matching color). There are also models in which a fabric border is sewn onto a wood base.

Classic horizontal blinds
Horizontal blinds are the most popular product on the sun protection market. Its advantage is the independent control of the rotation and lifting of the lamellas, which creates a unique ability to control the flow of light in any interior and to suit any taste.
Horizontal aluminum blinds are assembled from aluminum tape, onto which metal plastic is applied in a special way (heat-resistant spraying). Such aluminum strips - cut into strips and processed - are called lamellas. Ready-made blinds consist of several slats that are arranged horizontally, which is why such blinds are called “horizontal”.
Aluminum horizontal blinds are not afraid of any temperature changes or exposure to direct sunlight; they also do not absorb odors if installed in the kitchen. Cleaning them is very simple, just wipe with a damp cloth, but it is not advisable to touch the ropes, as they can absorb dust along with moisture and darken.
Horizontal blinds can emphasize a formal, business office environment, and in a city apartment or country house, in combination with classic curtains, they will create a unique atmosphere of coziness and comfort.

Wooden horizontal blinds
Horizontal wooden blinds will be a stylish solution for your home or office. Only environmentally friendly materials are used as the basis: wood and bamboo, which will create a cozy and noble atmosphere. Wood, as a material, is absolutely environmentally friendly under any operating conditions, does not emit harmful substances into the environment, and is excellent for decorating the interiors of bedrooms and children's rooms. A wide range of different shades and textures will allow you to choose the color to match the furniture in the room. Horizontal wooden blinds can be either an independent element of the interior or can successfully harmonize with classic curtains.

- wooden blinds 50 mm and 25 mm wide. The material for their manufacture is durable wood that retains its texture well. The varnish coating on the tape allows you to achieve the desired wood shade. Universal fasteners allow you to install blinds both on the wall and on the ceiling.
- bamboo blinds 50 mm and 25 mm wide. In all their properties and appearance, blinds are similar to wooden ones, but pressed bamboo stems are used as the material for the slats. Their advantages are lower weight, better water resistance, increased strength and a richer, brighter texture. Bamboo blinds are not subject to fading in the sun.
It is not difficult to care for horizontal wooden blinds, the same as for furniture made of natural wood; wipe with a dry or special cloth.

Horizontal models
This category brings together the most popular types of blinds for plastic windows. The planks that make up the structure (lamellas) are arranged horizontally. Their width varies. For example, the slats in aluminum window blinds have a width of 16 or 25 mm; models made of wood or fabric are usually made with a slat width of about 50 mm. One of the oldest, but still relevant today, is bamboo structures.
Regardless of the material used in manufacturing, horizontal blinds visually expand the space. Their price may be slightly lower than more modern designs, but we will talk about this a little later. The material and color of these products is important when decorating the interior. For example, aluminum structures are perfect for a room in a high-tech or minimalist style, while wooden structures will harmoniously fit into a classic interior.
