With a really functional and easy to use chain system or automation options, these blinds are great if you want a simple window covering that almost disappears when rolled up.

There are several different types of Roller Blinds available depending on what your requirments are.
BLOCKOUT ROLLER BLINDS - Great for nighttime privacy, blocks most of the light (you will still get light coming in around the edges), insulates.
LIGHT FILTER ROLLER BLINDS - Great for daytime privacy, blocks some light - good for bright sunny areas, some insulation but not as much as blockout rollers

LIGHT FILTER | SUN PROTECTION | PRIVACY | DESIGN | INSULATES
Venetian blinds are available in the standard aluminum, a range of lovely timbers as well as several different types of ‘fake’ woods.
These blinds are a great way to give you privacy and enable you to control how the sun and light enters the room.
Having them either fully closed and blocking all light and sun or having them open and tilted at various angles to give you the ability to see out but control how people see in and how the sun comes in.
Timber Venetians are becoming more and more popular, the lovely warmth of the wood gives them a bit more character than the traditional aluminum and you can get a range of painted colours, from whites to beiges to black.
Today the woods are so well treated that you shouldn't need to worry about warping or fading or moisture. However for those of you that are still skeptical or that require extra protection there are several products that are made to look like wood but are not. They vary from supplier to supplier but most are a polymer resin product which looks very close to wood but is a slightly heavier product. These are a bit cheaper than the real thing, they are a very close match but due to there weight are not recommended in large sizes.
Venetian blinds are also available in a variety of different blade widths to give different looks, there is the standard 25mm aluminum and then with the wood you can go up to a nice wide 63mm blade. The wider widths give a more chunky, almost shutter like appearance.
GREAT INSULATION | BLOCKOUT | LIGHT FILTER | SUN PROTECTION | PRIVACY | DESIGN
These pleated cellular blinds add an air of stylish luxury to any home. Also known as Honeycomb or Duette blinds these are built for insulation so if its warmth you are after these are the best blinds for you. Air is trapped in the cellular honeycomb construction creating an effective barrier against cold windows and draughts. The blinds are easy to use and clean and the unique honeycomb action of the blind means that when it is pulled up it takes up very little headroom in your window or door. This maximizes views and creates a very minimal look in the room. You can even have blinds that are hand raised with no cords leaving your room with a clean streamlined look. There is also an option for night and day blinds so you can benefit from the great insulation during the day as well as being able to bring down a blockout one for night time.
When a Thermacell blind is fitted inside a window jamb it fits tight to the top of the jamb, falls flat onto the sill and has a minimal gap of 3-5mm at the sides. This is the tightest fitting blind or curtain you will find and so it will form an efficient layer of still air. As well as the air between the window and blind the cellular structure of the blind then creates another insulating layer. If its insulation and warmth you are after, look no further, these blinds are ideal for this and is what they are designed for. You can have these blinds inseveral different types of fabrics giving you both blockout options as well as light filtering options.
