Roll Up Window Shades
Every window in your home is made more versatile and fashionable with the correct choice of window shades or blinds. Window shades allow for the control of light and privacy in your home. With each room necessitating different lighting, it is important to understand your options before making a selection.
Roll up shades are a great option for any room. They are easy to use and come in many materials, making them impressively versatile. With roll up shades you can choose to let in no light, tons of light, or anywhere in between, creating the feel you are looking for.
What to Consider When Picking Your Roll Up Shades
Blinds aren’t a one-size-fits-all piece of decor. You want to consider exactly what you want the look and feel of each room to be. When it comes to the bedroom, it is often nice to have shades that completely block out light. Yet in your home office you may want to always have some light filter through.
With this variety of needs there are two main factors that you will want to keep in mind: material and light filtration.
Material
Are you looking for something that is going to last for your lifetime, or a temporary fix until you get the chance to renovate? Do you want to block out all light, or allow a steady flow of warm light into your room?
At The Blind Source we have every material you could need, including wood, faux wood, bamboo, metal, fabric, paper, plastic, and more. Fabric and paper roll up shades can be a fun way to play with the light coming into a room, allowing a filtration of either warm or cool lighting in. Wood and bamboo roll up shades are able to block out much more light while being extremely durable. And then there are fabrics that can blackout light all together!
Light Filtration
When browsing through blinds it is useful to understand the three main categories of blinds when it comes to light filtration. Roll up window shades will be one of the following:
• Sheer: This means that these shades allow a good amount of light into the room. Think paper window shades.
• Semi-Sheer: Here you will get more light blocking ability that with sheer shades, however you will still be getting some light into the room.
• Blackout: These blinds have the ability to block light out completely, which is great for those who need to sleep during the day and for reducing glare on TV and computer screens.
