Roller blinds can help to reduce echo, but you would need to keep your roller blinds down to optimise the effect. We would suggest a thicker roller blinds option made from dim-out or block-out fabrics, as the weave is much tighter. This allows less light and sound into the room, and reduces sound bouncing in the room. The Soltis Touchscreen offers reverberation reduction (44% of noise absorbed).
Please speak to your sales representative and request a stopper. You can use it to affix the bottom bar to the side of the door or the window opening to avoid billowing and banging sounds.
Some blinds are recyclable, but you will need to check on the product itself.
All of our blinds can be wiped down with a damp cloth.
All of our blinds are can tolerate multiple operations per day. If you are not into doing all the arm reps, you should consider asking us to motorise your blinds.
Choose screen fabrics with a low openness factor, such as our block-out, dim-out and screen-style fabrics.
The following products can withstand hot, humid and moist environments like a bathroom:
- Styro-Wood Blinds
- Aluminium Blinds
- Timber Wood Shutters
- Hurricane and ShutterGuard® Shutters
- Water-resistant fabrics, such as the B-range, München and PVC.
Light-filtering and screen-style will provide total privacy when lowered during the day but will not offer the same privacy at night.
Dim-out and block-out fabrics are the popular choice for evening privacy. The weaving is tighter, significantly reducing the openness factor and blocking views from the outside.
Please ask one of our sales representatives for advice in choosing a product that best suits your privacy requirements.
Unconventional windows require extraordinary shutters.
Our Timber Shutters can be custom-made to suit arches, circles, semicircles, triangles and other shapes.
We do not currently manufacture products from recycled materials but we do take care to source from fabric manufacturers who have a low carbon footprint.
Blinds and shutters are an energy-efficient form of climate control for all seasons that will reduce your reliance on air-conditioners or heaters.
Most of the materials used in our manufacturing are compliant with REACH guidelines. Take a look at our blinds boasting an Oeko-tex or Greenguard certification, e.g. the München Block-Out.
For infants and toddlers who need uninterrupted sleep, we recommend our block-out blinds. For younger kids, where privacy is required, roller or Venetian blinds in block-out or dim-out fabrics are recommended. Consider the 50mm wood offering.
Much like silk, you should never machine wash your fabric blinds. Instead, use a steam cleaner or a damp cloth on our products. View our comprehensive cleaning and care guide here.
All of our products offer UV protection, but our roller blinds are embedded with a highly specialised UV-protective fabric.
Consider high-reflecting fabrics in cream and iron grey under our screen-style selection.
Screen fabrics are ideal as they keep heat out on hot summer days, but they can also trap heat inside when the weather turns a little bit cooler.
Choose a lighter or natural textured screen fabric with an openness factor of 5% or lower.
We recommend using a darker colour screen to reduce incoming sunlight and glare without losing the view.
You might also consider a block-out option, which eliminates all sunlight when closed. Our double roller blinds are a highly aesthetic choice for playing with natural light.
