There are many types of window coverings that are available, however not all are versatile enough to be able to meet everyone’s requirements. Curtains can be very stylish but they only have options in terms of managing the amount of light that they let in, they’re either open and letting in all of the light or closed and letting in none, which isn’t ideal.

Trends in window treatments these days focus on the ability to give you choices when it comes to varying the amount of light that enters a room. Window treatments that are able to do this prove to be more energy efficient in the long run and being able to control heat insulation in a room makes you control your energy bills, too.

If you want a window covering or treatment that allows you to control then blinds are the ideal solution. You can control each blind with ease letting you adjust how much light you want to enter in your room. You can either have them fully opened, or opened in varying degrees, until it becomes fully closed. With blinds, you can either have utter brightness or utter darkness depending on your choice and they come in a huge range of colours, styles and textures.

Here are the latest blind types that you can choose from:

• Roller blinds

• Blackout blinds

• Vertical blinds

• Wooden blinds

• Pleated blinds

• Venetian blinds

• Perfect Fit blinds

• INTU blinds

• Replacement Vertical Vanes Louvres Slats

Modern blinds do much more than just provide privacy. The latest fabrics also offer solar protection, so no more faded fabrics or floors. They also block out heat, so rooms stay comfortable which is ideal for sunny rooms or conservatories. With moisture-resistant, anti-fungal and dust-repellent options too, it’s easy to keep your window blinds in top condition. If you need to reduce glare, choose one of the many sheer fabrics that provide an effective and modern alternative to nets which are seen as very old fashioned in todays interior conscious market.

Roller blinds provide excellent protection against heat and light and give the room a neat, uncluttered look. Choose sheer to soften sunlight, patterned fabrics to introduce colour and texture or blackout blinds to block light completely.

Vertical blinds have shaken off their dowdy office image with recent additions to their fabric types including sheers and patterns in a myriad of colours and textures. They are ideal for high windows and doors and with the varying control options available during manufacture you can choose on which side to have your controls as well as deciding how they will open so that you can tilt them to let in a lot or a little light, or pull back entirely. The ultimate in style, choice and versatility. Blinds4Sale also offer replacement vertical vanes, louvres & slats for your existing vertical blind track or headrail so that if you want to change your décor or fancy a change of colour then you can just order the new vanes and simply clip them onto your old track to transform your room.

Venetian blinds can be adjusted to filter or totally cut out light, or pulled up completely to let in maximum light. Whether you’re looking for wood slat or aluminium / metal slat there are huge choices of colours, slat widths and textures to choose from for the cool, contemporary, stylish solution that are venetian blinds.
