Window Blinds -- Perfect for the summer
Michel Johnson Blinds are incredibly popular, they provide a fresh modern look, are easy to clean and provide an ideal solution to controlling light levels and privacy. Wood Slat blinds mimic the style created by shutters but at a fraction of the cost, and window blinds have in their own right become a great alternative to traditional curtains. With summer finally on our doorsteps they are a great choice for bright warm days. Light diffusing As appose to curtains Venetian, woodslat or vertical blinds can be used to angle light away without totally cutting out all the light from a room. Many window blinds can have their slats tilted up or down, or left or right in the case of verticals, allowing you to direct bright sunlight away from furniture and protect it from harmful UV rays which may discolour or fade stains or colours. Venetian or wood slat blinds are also now available without the cords running through the centre of the slats, allowing much tighter slat closure, which can block out more light from the early morning sun. For those who find it hard to sleep once the sun starts to stream in through their windows, this can assist in gaining the extra rest needed. Roller or roman blinds can be lowered and raised depending on where the light enters a room, allowing you to enjoy natural light but without the glare of direct sunlight and without removing all light from the room. Many of the lighter coloured material window blinds will allow a reasonable level of light through even when closed on bright days, allowing bright sunlight to be removed but still leaving enough light to carry on with normal life. UV coating Many of the coloured woodslat window blinds have a UV coating applied to ensure that the colour does not deteriorate, preserving your choice of colour for as long as possible. Heat As window blinds can also be used to minimise sunlight entering the room, or angle light away, this reduces the direct heat entering a room. This helps to keep temperatures in bright rooms down and the room at a more comfortable temperature. Space saving As window blinds can be fitted into the window recess they don't protrude into your room. Not only does this save space, but can create a feeling of space and light depending on the colour chosen. Lighter colours will make a room feel larger, while patterns or bright colours can be used as a contrasting feature that adds character to a room. Easy to fit Wood slat window blinds are available in a variety of slat widths, including wider width slats to match shutters, to ensure a suitable fit into any window recess. Most window blinds can be fitted to the wall from the front or below to make them simple to fit, whether you choose to fit them into the window space or outside the recess to ensure there is little light seepage from around the edges of your window blind. Dust Bright sunlight also makes it easier to see the dust on our window coverings, especially after the dingy light of winter. Window blinds are easy to clean so that dust can be removed, for Venetian and woodslat blinds this can be done with a duster, vacuum with a soft brush or for some with a damp cloth. Roller and Roman blinds can often be gently cleaned with a damp cloth dipped in mild soapy water, some can even be washed so regardless of which blind you choose it's worth checking with your supplier or manufacturer for the best way of cleaning it. It's easy to see why blinds are a feature that can be found in homes on any street. Their popularity has influenced what is now an enormous range of window blinds available, meaning that there are now options to suit any room and home. They are also a great choice for summer because we all want an opportunity to enjoy the bright fresh feel of sunlight, but without having to close the window coverings in order to ensure our home stays cool and our furnishings the colour we like them.
