Roman blinds

Roman blinds combine convenience and practicality of blinds with refinement of classical portieres. They will perfectly incorporate in any interior regardless of its style; the most important is the right choice of material.
The Roman blinds are set up as follows: the material is attached to the head rail by hook and loop fastener. Due to the specific rail mechanism and the curtain weighting tape at the hemline, the curtain can be drawn up in soft plaints. The easy to use self-locking pulley mechanism allows fixing them at any convenient height. The sunlight is hushed down by various density of the material.
Usually the Roman blinds are made from heavy portiere materials, however other options are available as well.
The constructional peculiarities of Roman blinds do not allow maintaining the entirety of the design of material at the point of plaits, but exactly that gives them additional charm by creating the effect of a wave.

 

Japanese blinds

Japanese blinds (also familiar as Japanese panels or screen blinds) are formed by two or more absolutely flat strips of fabric. Which do not get bent but are slid like screens or panels.
Metal poles are set at top and bottom of the curtain to prevent it from bending. This type of curtains is perfect for people who appreciate original materials with unusual texture or finishing. Additional saving grace of Japanese blinds – they hardly collect dust.
These simple and practical blinds will go perfectly with an interior executed in minimalist style. They best fit to spacious rooms with big windows. Japanese blinds do not look that effective on small windows, as they require space. Japans blinds can also be used to divide room to several zones. They are different from other ways of window decoration with their minimalism, strict forms and laconism – typical features of Japanese style in interior.
Japanese blinds can be made of different materials. You can choose any fabric and order these blinds after individual project or a catalogue. Special dust and dirt proof materials are also available.

French blinds

French blinds are from a strip of fabrics split in several vertical sections that are formed by measured, semicircular plaits. Tightening the cord through a row of vertical eyelets forms the ruffles at the bottom of the blind when the blind is raised. Usually natural silk in light tones of light, transparent material of any colour is used for French blinds.
French blinds are perfect for living room or bedroom, which are furnished with classical or antique furniture.
In every home the bedroom is a special place with intimate atmosphere, therefore using French blinds with cascades of soft pleats and frills in decorating its window will grant sophistication to your interior.
French blinds get often combined with classical heavy curtains with fringes and lambrequins.

 

Austrian blinds

Austrian Blinds are in reality a curtain, and are made up as such with a fullness of twice the track or batten width. The only difference being that the blind is pulled up from the bottom to the top by means of cords attached at the back, and is made longer than the required finished drop. The extra fabric in the length forms scallops, even when the blind is in the lowered position.
The top of the blind is pleated with the help of a special tape or by hand. The same idea can also be used also for lambrequins. Austrian blinds and lambrequins look especially effective if made of glossy materials – silk, taffeta, polyester.
Austrian Blinds are generally made up in lightweight curtain fabrics, they will hang better and exclude more light if they are lined. They can be hung inside or outside the window recess. If they are hung outside the recess they can be frilled at the side and bottom edges. However, if they are hung inside the recess, they look better if a frill is added to the bottom edge only.
It’s the best to finish the austrian blind off with some complicated decoration. Austrian blinds combine well with classical heavy curtains and lambrequins.

 

Rollup blinds

Rollup blinds – is one of the most practical ways of decorating your window. Roll blinds are formed by a strip of material that is rolled up on a pole at the ends of which there are special thimbles providing the tension of the blind. The control is performed with the help of special mechanism – spring roller, bedded chain or cassette type.
Fixed at requited height rollup blinds softly diffuse sunlight. Along with the light or heavy curtains rollup blinds can create warm atmosphere in living room or children’s room and pleasing dusk in bedroom.
Rollup blinds can be used in places like kitchens or glassed-in loggias, where use of heavy curtains is impossible. Thanks to variety of fabrics it is possible to control the level of flow of light within the room. If the windows face the sunny we recommend the use of sun reflecting materials.
