Roller blinds

 

Roller blinds are gaining popularity among many Singapore homeowners. They are easy to operate and convenient to maintain and clean.

Roller blinds are available in either motorized or manual rollers. While manual rollers appear to give you greater control over how far you roll your blind, motorized roller blinds offer the convenience of controlling your blinds with a remote control.

This is useful when it is troublesome to reach the blinds manually, or you have a few sets of blinds to control.

One thing to note about Roller Blinds is that you are only able to choose one fabric type. This means that you will be to decide between whether you want a fabric that allows light to penetrate through during the day, while keeping outsiders from peeking in; or you prefer total privacy and do not depend on light from outside.

For instance, living rooms tend to use roller blinds with thinner fabrics that allow sunlight to enter, while bedrooms tend to use roller blinds with thicker fabrics to enhance privacy.

Whatever the choice is, it’s always good to consider the objective of wanting a roller blind, before going out to purchase one. Bear in mind that buying Roller Blinds from stores may not be as practical, since they come in standard lengths and widths that may not fit your windows perfectly.

It’s highly recommended to engage a professional service when installing blinds for a number of reasons. Firstly, blinds can be customized in dimensions that best suit your windows. Next, fabric options for roller blinds can be chosen from a wide variety of designs and fabric types.

Finally, engaging a professional to install your roller blinds ensures that they are secured properly to your wall. If you encounter problems after the installation, companies like 99Curtains also offer after-sales service and support.
