What are the best materials for outdoor and indoor blinds?
When it comes to selecting the best materials for your blinds, you always want the highest-quality and most durable options. As outdoor blinds are exposed to intense seasonal elements like sunlight, rain, wind, snow and hail, they need to be more hard-wearing. On the other hand, internal material blinds for windows are generally more stylish but still offer practical benefits. Read on to discover what materials blinds are made of and some popular FAKRO models.
What are the best materials for indoor blinds?
The materials for each type of internal blind differ, but here are some examples of FAKRO material blinds for windows.
As blackout and roller blinds need to completely cover the window surface, these are made from large sections of polyester fabric that are easily adjusted depending on the desired level of light.
With FAKRO roller and blackout fabric blinds for windows, we offer a selection of colours to match your home. Our ARF Blackout Roller Blind is available in navy blue, pebble grey, bright white, charcoal grey, honey yellow, black, wine red, tea green, dark beige, olive green, and mocha brown.
Because a roller blind doesn’t need to block out the same high levels of light, these fabric blinds are lighter in weight and appearance. The colours of our FAKRO ARS Manual Roller Blind reflect this, with a range of bright shades including ivory, light beige marl, sand, wheat beige, pale yellow, slate grey, oxford blue, forest green, baby pink, jet black, fog grey, taupe brown, chocolate brown, apricot, brick red, plum purple, space blue, and silver blue.
Venetian blinds are formed from individual slats of aluminium and plastic anodised aluminium, which can be adjusted throughout the day to optimise or limit light levels. FAKRO’s Manual Venetian Blind is available in three contemporary shades: shiny white, warm silver, and foil silver.
What are the best materials for outdoor blinds?
Outdoor blinds need to be much more hard-wearing than indoor blinds. The FAKRO ARZ external roller shutters are mainly made of aluminium. This provides them with a strong and durable structure that also protects from UV radiation, reducing heat loss in winter and heat entry in summer, and offers sound reduction.
Choose from FAKRO’s ARZ-H 102 Manual External Roller Shutter for a manual external blind or the convenient ARZ Z Wave 102 Electric External Roller Shutter or ARZ Solar 102 External Roller Shutter for remote controlled blinds that can be adjusted with ease.
All AMZ External Awning Blinds, including the manual, electric and solar powered models, are made from aluminium profiles and glass fibre fabric with PVC. This gives them a more stylish finish, with the fabric available in a range of shades including the very fashionable stone grey, metal grey and blue grey.
