Roller shades are an incredible choice for all types of residential and commercial spaces, with eminent minimal style, easy operation, and practical functionality. In this blog post, the roller shade installation experts here at Los Angeles Shades and Blinds will detail some of the myriad benefits that roller blinds offer to properties everywhere.
Practical Functionality and Excellent Design
Roller shades are designed with a uniquely functional simplicity that provides them a wide range of applications. They can be mounted on both the interior or exterior of your window frame. Roller shades are super easy to operate, and can be outfit with both cordless controls or a continuous loop chain. Their minimal appearance allows them to blend fantastically with all forms of drapery- we recommend pairing sheer drapery with blackout, light blocking roller shades in order to provide soft daytime light diffusion, as well as total privacy and light blocking for nighttime and early morning. If you want light constantly blocked out, simply mount your roller shades under blackout drapes, and install a cornice at the window top, preventing any light from traveling into your space.
Heat and Glare Reduction
Roller shades – especially blackout varieties – can be made of sturdy and energy efficient materials that both reduce heat and lower sunlight glare inside your home, making it easier for you to keep a steady temperature inside your space. For additional insulation, we again recommend pairing roller shades and drapery for amazing levels of functional beauty. The drapes will lower drafts from potentially leaky areas of the window, while contributing to the level of light blocking that the roller shade provides.
Wide Range of Applications
Roller shades are a fantastic choice for bedrooms, where a dark and peaceful environment helps you sleep much better. Bedroom roller shades can simply be lifted during the day, allowing light to come into the room for a fresh morning or energized afternoon. Roller shades are a great choice for living rooms with televisions, helping to eliminate screen glare – the same applies to home offices or areas with computers. We highly advise our clients to consider opaque blackout shades for small areas like bathrooms – due to their uniquely minimal design, these shades can both provide privacy, and protection, while not sacrificing style or standing out too much among the room’s aesthetics.
