During
the winter, our windows are our life savers; they allow all of the
beautiful sunshine into the house while keeping it warm. During the
summer; however, our feelings change and the beautiful sunshine
becomes our foe, filling up our homes while our air conditioning
struggles to combat the heat. Vertical blinds can be the perfect
solution throughout the year since they let the sun in during the
winter but can block it throughout the summer, saving up to 20 per
cent on your energy bills.
Sunlight
has other adverse effects as it can also bleach materials. Your home
furnishings, decor and flooring are all at risk of fading over time
because of the sun. Installing vertical blinds on the Gold Coast can
cover the entire window in order to protect your home.
If
you still want some of the natural light to enter your house without
causing headaches or eyestrain, you can use vertical blinds to divert
the light away from the television or computer screen you may be
using. Doing this to keep the sunlight away from your skin can also
prevent sunburns and the risk of skin cancer that goes with it.
The
number of different styles of vertical blinds can sometimes be
overwhelming: there are different types of slats ranging from
aluminium to fabric, all with their own variety of finishes and
colours. Cleaning the blinds, regardless of the material, is easier
than with Venetian blinds because they do not have many horizontal
surfaces for dust to land on. Aluminium or other metallic finishes
can be cleaned with a simple wipe and fabric blinds can be dusted
down without much hassle.
When
buying vertical
blinds on the Gold Coast, it is possible to measure
and install them yourself; however, it can be very easy to make
mistakes with the measurements. If you are installing the blinds
within the reveal and one of the window reveal walls is not perfectly
straight, the blind may not fit. Hiring a reputable company to give
you a free measurement and quote can save you a lot of time and
money.
