When it comes to Romans Blinds (below), these can be generally be bonded with sunscreen fabrics for long lasting durability. Here at Apollo, we are also seeing a move towards softer varieties made from sheer fabric with no lining. That would be perfect to let natural sunlight into your home without it being too strong.
Roller Blinds are the most popular and affordable blind style. It also comes in a myriad of colours, textures and transparencies. For large or multiple window spaces, we recommend opting for styles which link together to eliminate gaps.
Venetian Blinds are generally made from timber or aluminium slats. They can be tilted to capture light and cross- breezes. Venetians are one of the most versitile choices out there as colour and material can give your whole room a new feel - from modern and urban or relaxed and beachy. They are operated with a single cord or wand.
When it comes to Pleated Blinds, they are slim and streamlined with a nod to Japanese design. Pleated blinds fan from top to bottom, offering privacy and light control. Cellular or honeycomb styles add insulation and energy efficiency.
Panel Blinds are the contemporary solution for large spaces. They can glide up, down and side-to-side, allowing for design flexibility. At Apollo, they are available in transparent or blockout fabrics, they can be motorised.
