When you’re looking at buying blinds for your windows the most important feature invariably comes down to light control. Even when you are looking for the best design or colour range to suit your decor the final decider almost always will be how much you can control the light coming into the room.
Whilst the operational aspect of the blind dictates the light control there are other factors that have an influence on the amount of light coming through. Let’s discount one type out of the equation: Roller Blinds. In their blackout form you simply don’t want any, so there is no need to consider how much of it you can control even in their normal dim out form they can still only be raised or lowered.
Roman blinds are too similar to roller blinds in the way they can only be raised or lowered to offer any control over incoming light. Although they offer the best style choice via the quality of fabrics and their soft furnishings feel it’s not the defining feature we are looking for. Without a doubt the best type of blinds are the ones that feature slats or vanes. Some retailers of window blinds will start to differ at this point because these types of slatted blinds offer varying control so personal opinion will come into play. However the more experienced will look only at the facts.
Venetian Blind and Wooden Venetian Blinds are identical in the light control they offer. With four different slat sizes 16mm, 25mm, 35mm and 50mm in product isolation the manipulation of light is high ranging from very little with the 16mm to quite a lot with the 50mm. As the slats can be rotated a significant amount of light can be controlled so they certainly are a good choice but even when the slats are slightly open you can see inside the room completely from the outside. This is where the defining factor with light control comes in.
Vertical Blinds slats are a minimum of 89mm wide so they offer nearly twice the amount of open space as opposed to even the widest 50mm venetian type. Also as the slats are rotated sideways they allow the light to be controlled around the room, rather than the light on venetian blinds being directed from the ceiling to the floor. Choosing the wider 127mm wide slats allow for even more light into the room. If you open the slats slightly you can allow a lot if light into the room but still only give the outside world a fraction of the view into your room. In conclusion vertical blinds offer the best light control.
