If you have been wondering “what are roll down blinds?” you’ve come to the right spot. A lot of people use this phrase to describe shades that unroll to cover the window, however, in the business, they’re called roller shades. At Blinds Bros., we are the window treatment experts, and we have a variety of window treatments in many different designs and colors to blend in seamlessly with your home.
What are roll down blinds?
Roll down blinds, or roller shades, are a type of shade that roll up into a cylinder at the top of the window. Instead of using rope cords like with blinds, you pull on the shade itself or on a looped cord to get it to roll up and down. They are easy to use and have many advantages.
Roller shades have a very simple and classic look, and they are very easy to clean and maintain. They come in many different colors, fabrics, and patterns, so they’ll look great in any room. We also have SOLAR shades. SOLAR shades look just like roller shades, but they are actually pretty different. SOLAR shades are made with a different type of material, like vinyl-coated fiberglass or polyester yarns. They are weaved into a mesh fabric to absorb UV rays and block them from entering the room. We offer a variety of light filtering options, and the different levels of density can let more or less sunlight and heat through.
If you want a more modern type of roller shade, we also have motorized options. Instead of physically pulling on the shades to go up or down, you can control them with a remote. All you need to do to control the motorized shades is press a button – that’s it. If you have a lot of windows, this can help you save time in the morning. Motorized shades are also great for any windows that are hard to reach, so you don’t have to worry about climbing on step stools to reach the cords anymore. They are the perfect window treatment for the elderly or people with disabilities who have a hard time opening blinds using cords, or for wheelchair bound people who have a hard time reaching windows.
