How Roller Blinds Have Evolved

Category: Blinds & Shutters Tips

It used to be that plain roller shades, which were quite boring and commonplace, were located everywhere. Homeowners began to look for alternatives. However, the purpose of roller blinds is still clear – light control on a budget. As a result of the evolution and changes to the window treatments industry, and specifically to the roller shades manufacturing category, people are now discovering their roller shades can look good once again.

New applications for roller shades include office spaces. Office spaces where computers are used or work privacy is required demand the use of roller shades. Media rooms, office suites, conference rooms, as well as rooms used to store perishable items are all common application for roller blinds.

Some offices are making good use of solar shading roller shades. These increasingly important window treatment products filter the light, allowing occupants to manage the lighting in their spaces. Roller shades allow a percentage of light to enter room can thus lower internal lighting bills by allowing electric lights to be used less.

Older roller shades were controlled with a pull mechanism. However, as a set of roller shades is used more and more, the control system wears down and weakens. New roller shades, on the other hand, use a more extensive and much better fastened roller shade chain controller. These chain controls use internal springs to actually reduce the load – the amount of force required to lift the roller shade. This type of load reduction is important when you are using roller shades for larger windows. Imagine trying to raise a roller shade that weighs as much as fifteen pounds. 

Roller shades have evolved tremendously over the past few years. This is part of the interest for roller shades in residential and commercial applications. Consumers, architects, designers, contractors, and building owners are all recognizing the enhanced value of attractive roller shades.

Derek and his associate did a great job with the installation of our two Symphony blinds today, July 30.Our only disappointment is that it took more than a month from the time we ordered the blinds until they were installed, especially since we paid for the blinds the day the order was placed. […]
