Roller shade design has made great strides in recent years, achieving a highly useful and beneficial level of both practical and luxurious light control that can improve the aesthetics of your residential or commercial interiors. In this blog entry, the roller shade installation team here at Los Angeles Shades and Blinds will detail what exactly makes roller shades such an excellent choice of window treatments, and the benefits provided by their modern design.
What exactly are roller shades?
Roller shades are a form of window treatment that are attached to the top of your window with hooks, and can roll up and out of view when not in use. Roller shades are available in a wide range of styles and designs – and despite their reputation of seeming somewhat institutional or business-like (typically an opinion based on vinyl blinds,) roller blinds are available in a wide array of fun, attractive, rustic, and even luxurious fabrics and finishes. Roller shades can be customized to a wide range of thicknesses and light-control variability, and provide a high level of privacy and protection from solar UV rays.
Roller Shade Benefits
Subtle Appearance
Many home and business owners prefer window treatments that have a subtle and simple style, blending in with existing decor. Roller shades can block out light and provide privacy while not “popping” in contrast with editing decor and furniture. When rolled up, roller shades are out of the sight of the eye, and roller shades are available in a wide range of colors and textures that can ideally match the aesthetics of your interior.
Customizability
Roller shades are versatile – and can be designed to block out nearly 100% of sunlight, or provide natural light flow without sacrificing privacy. There’s hundreds of kinds of high quality light filtering roller shades – as well as both cordless and corded roller shade designs in opaque or even blackout materials.
Affordability
Roller shades are affordable, providing you simple and effective light control and privacy without breaking the bank. Even deluxe and high quality roller shades are affordable, giving both home and business owners the ability to customize their roller shades to their personal aesthetic tastes and practical needs with full freedom, and no need to worry about budget.
Simple Maintenance
Roller shades are minimally designed, meaning they attract less dust, dirt, pet dander, or particulate matter, as there’s less nooks and crannies for this pollution to settle into. Roller shades are sturdy; with fully contained and protected moving parts snugly fit into the headrail, mechanical damage is almost never an issue or risk, saving you money on potential repairs. Furthermore, roller shades are made of incredibly easy-to-clean material; roller shades can often be restored to good-as-new condition with the simple wipe of a wet cloth!
