Frequently Asked Questions about Light Filtering Roller Blinds
What is a light filtering roller blind?
Light filtering roller blinds are window coverings made from a translucent fabric that allows natural light to filter into the room while providing privacy. They softly diffuse the sunlight, reducing glare and protecting from UV rays, while keeping the room bright and airy.
What are the advantages of polyester roller blinds?
- Cost-Efficiency: Polyester roller blinds are usually more affordable compared to other materials and provide good value for money.
- Versatility and Modern Appearance: They come in various materials and colours, fitting almost all styles and environments.
- Ease of Maintenance: They are easy to clean and maintain, often requiring only a damp cloth for wiping off stains.
What percentage of light do light filtering shades block?
It depends on the fabric. Light filtering shades are expected to block out less than 95% of natural light, striking a balance between maintaining a well-lit room and controlling the intensity of light, as compared to blackout shades which provide nearly 100% light blockage through the fabric itself.
What is the difference between light filtering and sheer shades?
Light filtering blinds provide a moderate level of privacy while allowing natural light to enter the room, reducing glare and blocking UV rays. On the other hand, sheer shades are more transparent, allowing a greater amount of light to pass through. Sheer shades create a soft, ethereal effect, filtering the light delicately and providing a gentle glow in the room. With sheer shades, privacy may not be guaranteed especially at night where artificial lights are used inside the property whilst it is dark outside.
What is the difference between light filtering and blockout blinds?
Light filtering blinds allow some natural light to come through, diffusing it for a soft illumination, whereas blockout (or blackout) blinds are designed to block out as much light as possible, providing maximum privacy and darkness, which can be ideal for bedrooms or media rooms.
Do light filtering blinds reduce heat?
Yes, by blocking and diffusing sunlight, light filtering blinds can help in reducing the amount of heat that enters the room, making the space cooler and more comfortable.
What are the benefits of light filtering blinds?
Light filtering blinds provide a balanced level of privacy and natural light, reducing glare and blocking harmful UV rays. They help in maintaining a pleasant, well-lit ambience in the room, which can be especially beneficial in living spaces and bedrooms.
Can people see in through light filtering blinds at night?
At night, with lights on inside, it might be possible for people outside to see silhouettes or vague shadows through light filtering blinds, but they won't be able to see clear details.
Can you see through light filtering roller blinds?
During the day, it's difficult to see through light filtering roller blinds from the outside, especially if the fabric is denser. However, the level of visibility can vary depending on the thickness and colour of the fabric used.
How do polyester roller blinds compare to other materials?
Compared to other materials like PVC or linen, polyester roller blinds are often more cost-effective. They are also noted for their modern and versatile aesthetics, fitting well in different environments.
