Why Choose Blinds for your window

WHY CHOOSE VENETIAN OR VERTICAL BLINDS FOR YOUR WINDOW

You can choose window treatments or coverings not only for decoration but also for saving energy. Some carefully selected window treatments can reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Window blinds—vertical or horizontal slat-type—are more effective at reducing summer heat gain than winter heat loss.

VENETIAN BLINDS – VERTICAL BLINDS

Because of the numerous openings between the slats, it’s difficult to control heat loss through interior window blinds, but the slats offer flexibility in the summer. Unlike shades, you can adjust the slats to control light and ventilation. For example, when completely closed and lowered on a sunny window, highly reflective blinds can reduce heat gain by around 45%. They can also be adjusted to block and reflect direct sunlight onto a light-colored ceiling. A light-colored ceiling will diffuse the light without much heat or glare.
