Different Styles of Internal Blinds
Internal blinds are beyond mere window coverings; they are an essential addition to any home or business. How often do you enter a home and the windows are bare? Internal blinds provide vital privacy while you are at home or away. By obscuring the view into your personal space, they add an extra layer of security and peace of mind. Blinds are a hindrance for potential intruders as they make it difficult to determine if the property is occupied or what valuables are inside.
Aside from privacy, internal blinds are carefully chosen and installed to enhance the look and feel of a home or business. Whether in the kitchen, living area or bedrooms, internal blinds offer practical benefits and contribute to greater indoor comfort. In addition, indoor blinds can contribute to lower energy bills by helping keep the desired temperature inside your home, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling.

While they are a premium internal window covering, appropriately reflected in the price, their impact in any home is undeniable. Even the most modest home can be elevated by the timeless elegance and visual appeal of plantation shutters. In addition to their visual appeal they offer excellent privacy and light control.
✔️Roller Blinds
Internal roller blinds are easy to operate and to install. For those on a tight budget roller blinds are a wise option as they are designed to fit all window and door sizes and styles. They come in a variety of materials, from opaque to semi-transparent sheer-type material, allowing filtered light into a space while still providing a level of privacy. Roller blinds are the perfect all-rounder for homes and businesses
✔️ Panel Glide Blinds
Panel glide blinds are similar to vertical blinds as they run on a track, but instead of using a series of blades, they use a series of large fabric panels that roll. Panel glide blind shades work perfectly on large floor-to-ceiling windows or alfresco areas with large sliding doors. The benefit of panel blinds is their stacking ability, taking up minimal space when open.
✔️Venetian Blinds
Venetian blinds have been around for decades and, at one time, were the most popular window covering in most Australian homes. Venetian blinds are similar to Roman and roller blinds in how you operate. However, roller and Roman blinds can only control the light by how open they are or by their fabric, whereas Venetian blinds use a series of slats that can be tilted using a pulley system to allow light in while still providing privacy from the outside world. Venetian blinds are made from a variety of materials including timber, faux wood, metal and PVC and sizes to suit all decors, personal preferences and budgets.
✔️Vertical Blinds
Vertical blinds are a very versatile internal blind option and provide effective cover for sliding doors and long windows as they work on a track-style system. This gives you the option to have them pulled to one side and your window or door completely uncovered. Vertical blinds are made up of a series of individual blades, so you can adjust them to your light preferences.
✔️Roman Blinds
Roman blinds are very similar to roller blinds in appearance and how you use them control them. However, instead of rolling neatly up, they fold up at the top, which means they take up more room than roller blinds and can appear a little bulky. Roman blinds are a great match for older rustic-style homes, adding a bit of vintage charm. They are available in a wide range of fabrics and colours to suit all decors
