Benefits of Roller Blinds

Effective Design

Roller blinds have an effective design that covers the full aperture of windows and doors. As a result, you’ll have complete control of how much light can get into your home, and you’ll have a better thermal barrier to keep it warm. Our roller blinds can improve your home’s insulation and reduce uncomfortable solar gain. Because of this, it’ll be warm and comfortable every time you pull your blinds down.

You can install roller blinds for many reasons, including added privacy in a bathroom or home office when you don’t want people seeing inside your property.

However, roller blinds can also have an aesthetic impact.

All blind styles will provide you with a degree of privacy and at A1 we have 13 styles to choose from! This includes vertical, Venetian, pleated, panel, allusion blinds and many more! However, if total privacy is what you desire, A1’s top picks are roller, Roman, or pleated blinds. Here’s why…

Made up of a single-piece fabric, Roller, Roman and pleated are all fantastic blinds for privacy. A simple pull on a cord (or a click of a button, if you’re fancy) will close your blind completely, providing instant privacy!

Rollers, Roman’s and pleated are not only great blinds for privacy, but they also offer large canvases for beautiful fabrics, colours, and patterns. Roller blinds offer a sleek fabric design, Roman blinds open to create beautiful folds, and pleated blinds comprise lots of elegant pleats.

But What If It’s Blinds for Privacy AND Light Control You Need?  

The above options are great for granting you privacy – but if you also want to let the light in at the same time, you might want to consider other options! Because no matter where you live, maximum privacy and natural light are definitely nice-to-haves.

So, what are the best blinds for privacy AND light control? We recommend Shutters, Venetian, Vision, or Vertical blinds for privacy and light control. Here’s why…

Venetian Blinds for Privacy and Light Control

Venetian blinds are incredibly versatile when it comes to privacy and light control. Like other blinds, they can be fully closed or fully opened. Although, it is uncommon for Venetian’s to be fully raised, but the option is there if you wish!

Thanks to their design though, their horizontal slats can also be tilted at any angle to allow lots of light into the home. Plus, Tilting the slats at a 45-degree angle will allow you to see our, but stop on-lookers from seeing in! Therefore, granting great flexibility in terms of blinds for privacy and light control. 

Vertical Blinds for Privacy and Light Control

Much like Venetian’s, verticals are fantastic blinds for privacy and light control! Verticals are very similar to Venetians in the way they open and close fully or can be tilted at an angle. The key difference is, as stated in their name, their slats are Vertical!

Verticals are a great option for large windows and patio doors. They also provide easy access to the garden should you wish – if you go for the non-clipped style.

Vision Blinds for Privacy and Light Control

Another option is Vision (AKA Day and Night) blinds for privacy and light control. This style alternates stripes of opaque and sheer fabric. The stripes can be positioned to be fully closed or aligned so that the stripes give privacy without entirely blocking the light. They can also be opened completely, like a roller blind.

Vision blind’s simplistic design will make a modern window dressing for any home. A1 has a wide selection of colours and neutrals to suit every décor. 

Shutters for Privacy and Light Control

Shutters are traditionally found in warmer countries thanks to their ability to maintain and reflect heat. However, they’ve made a huge mark on the UK market in recent years thanks to their chic aesthetic.

Our contemporary shutters lend a sophisticated feel to any room. Like Venetians, you’ll have the freedom to control the degree of light and privacy in your room by tilting the slats or opening them fully. The choice is yours! Their adjustable slats ensure privacy, reduce external noise, AND enhance insulation. What more could you want?!

Vision blinds for living rooms are a great choice, especially if it’s a statement piece you’re looking for! Thanks to their horizontal stripes and flexibility, you have full control over light-blocking and privacy, depending on where you position the stripes.

Venetians and Verticals make fantastic blinds for living rooms. Their tilting slat system allows you to angle the blinds so that an outsider cannot see in, but the light still shines in through the gaps!

2) Blinds for Living Rooms with Little Space Around the Windows

Are your windowsills filled up with picture frames, vases, and ornaments? If so, be sure to consider how much space is left for a blind.

You’ll be glad to know though, there are still lots of options when it comes to blinds for living rooms with little space around the windows!

Pleated blinds for living rooms are ideal. Firstly, they require very little space in terms of depth. They’ll also improve energy efficiency in your home by insulating your windows!

Perfect-Fit blinds for living rooms are an effective space-saving choice. They’re built into a discreet plastic frame that is attached to your windows with no drilling required! Then, you can open the blinds from the top to the bottom of the frame, without interrupting your windowsill décor! The perfect-fit system works with Venetians, pleated and roller blinds.

Another option is to go for an ‘Exact’ fit rather than the more popular ‘Recess’ blind fit. This way, your blinds will hang over the outside of your windowsill area, rather than within the recess. Take a look at our measuring guide for more information on this!

3) Blinds for Living Rooms with Tricky Window Styles

Consider whether your living room has any tricky windows!

Lots of living rooms feature big bay windows at the front of the house. Whilst they’re a desirable asset to have, there will be times when you’ll want to cover those large windows for some privacy.

However, if you do have bay windows, you might be restricted by which blinds you can choose. Your choice of blinds will depend on which style of bay window you have. For example, rollers, Venetians, and Romans won’t work in a ‘Bow’ bay window – however, vertical blinds will! Be sure to do your research.

For more information about which blinds work best for bay windows, have a read of our blog: What Are the Best Blinds for Bay Windows?

4) Blinds for Living Rooms with Hard-to-Reach Windows 

To be honest, whether you have hard-to-reach windows or not, motorised blinds for living rooms are always a good idea. But still, you should consider whether you need (or want) them!

Motorised blinds are operated using a remote control or an app on your mobile. Sounds Perfect! Take a seat, relax, and simply click the button. How much easier does it get! But of course, for blinds on skylight or Velux windows, motorisation will make your life a lot easier!

Having motorised blinds also means you can control them even when you’re at work or on holiday – a great security feature.  

5) Match Your Décor with Stylish Blinds for Living Rooms

Last but certainly not least, you’ll want to consider how the blinds are going to look with your décor.

Blinds for living rooms are not susceptible to the challenges faced by kitchens and bathrooms, so these blinds should last many years! Therefore, we recommend going for a timeless blind design that will endure several living room décor changes over the years.

Feeling inspired? Transform your home with A1’s range of beautiful blinds for living rooms. Our range of blinds for living rooms includes timeless classics, bold prints, and specialist fabrics – all of which are designed to bring an air of luxury to your room. You can also rest assured knowing that our home consultations AND fitting service are both free!

So, think about our tips, browse our range, and book your home consultation today! Our team are always on hand to help you choose the perfect blinds. So, if you have any questions get in touch on 0800 193 0417 or info@a1blindsuk.co.uk.

A blind which is ‘safe by design’ is cordless or has concealed or tensioned cords. These blinds are usually pushed or pulled into position using a wand or your hands. Motorised blinds and shutters are other options for child safe blinds that are safe by design as they are cordless. There are also safe by design options for roller, Venetian, vertical, pleated, and Roman blinds.

Appropriate safety devices to add to your blinds include chain-break connectors, cord/chain tidy’s and tensioners, and cleats.

Why Do You Need Child Safe Blinds?

As children grow, as does their curiosity. This means they’re likely to touch and ‘play’ with things they probably shouldn’t. Even though blinds are not innately unsafe, there have been instances of death and injury involving children and blinds. By taking simple precautions such as choosing child safe blinds, you can significantly reduce the risk.

Young children can be strangled by loose loops in pull cords, chains, tapes, and inner cords. To avoid this entirely, you should follow these simple procedures.

If you’re not opting for cordless blinds, make sure all cords are always secured out of reach of children. Do not tie cords or chains together and make sure that they do not twist to create a loop.

Move beds, cots, and high chairs away from the window so that a child cannot reach any cords whilst they are in them.

Move all furniture away from the windows… Children love to climb! Therefore, moving chairs or other furniture away will prevent children from climbing up and reaching cords or chains. 

Turning Your Existing Blinds into Child Safe Blinds

When buying new blinds for your home, you should opt for child safe blinds. However, existing blinds with loose cords and chains may also pose a threat to children. But there are ways to make those safer too.

There is a range of safety devices available to add to every type of blind.

Chain-break connectors will help you to achieve child safe blinds. These devices will break apart when undue pressure is applied to the chain. Then after inspection, and if it isn’t broken, the connector can be reconnected again.

Cord/Chain tidy’s and tensioners will help to keep cords at a safe height and create child safe blinds. They should be securely fixed to an adjacent surface at the maximum distance, so the cords are held permanently taut by the device.

A cleat fixed securely to an adjacent surface will help to turn your existing blinds into child safe blinds. The cleat should be out of reach of children, at least 1.5 metres from the floor. To make the cleat safe, the cords must be secured in a figure of eight after every use.

If you have children, all blinds within your home, and not just in children’s bedrooms, should be child safe blinds. Do you have child safe blinds in your home?

A1 Blinds are renowned in the North East for producing beautifully made to measure blinds including blinds for Velux windows. More and more homes are having Velux windows installed. Be it in the bedroom, kitchen, or a converted conservatory. They’re certainly in demand in recent years as we all strive for more natural light.

One of the best ways you can brighten your home is with natural light. It’s warming, natural and of course completely free! But whilst natural light in the home is a bonus, there will be times when you’ll want to block out that light.

Light control is a day-to-day necessity. When your child is sleeping, you’re having a lie-in or watching a film – you’ll want to be able to dim the light wherever necessary. It’s also key for protecting your furniture from sun-fading on brighter days.

If your home has Velux or Skylight windows, you’ll probably be wondering what your options are.

Blinds for Velux windows are great for keeping in the warmth and blocking out the light. They’re available in a wide range of styles and performance finishes suiting every home, taste, and budget. Blind styles suitable for Velux windows are rollers, pleated and Venetian blinds- all in the perfect-fit format.

However, we know that choosing blinds for Velux windows can be tricky! They’re often angled, at a height and a bespoke shape. Therefore, you’ll want to make sure you’re well-equipped with all the right information before choosing your blinds for Velux windows or skylights.

Your choice of blinds for Velux windows will largely depend on the room they are for! For the bedroom, the key driver will be choosing a blackout or dimout fabric. Whereas for the living room you’re probably more concerned with the look, colour, and texture. In this blog, we’ll take you through all your options so that choosing the right blinds for your Velux windows will be a breeze!

Roller Blinds for Velux Windows

Roller blinds for Velux windows in your bedroom are an ideal combination. This is because they’re available in a blackout or standard fabric, with lots of colours to choose from. Therefore, finding a design to suit your room should be easy.

We also have a selection of Disney roller blinds for Velux windows that are perfect for your children’s bedroom blinds!

Venetian Blinds for Velux Windows

The perfect choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and offices. Venetian blinds for Velux windows offer brilliant light and privacy control as well as being moisture resistant! (That’s if you opt for faux wood or aluminium!).

Available in metallic, wood, or smooth textured finishes, Venetian blinds for Velux windows will look beautifully modern whilst doing their job!

Pleated Blinds for Velux Windows

Choose pleated blinds for Velux windows if it’s a soft, shading effect you’re looking for. When lifted, the pleats fold in on themselves to give a zigzag effect. When closed the zigzag transforms into more of a subtle wave adding tons of texture!

Pleated blinds for Velux windows are extremely easy to keep clean. This is ideal as the height of Velux windows often makes them difficult to access.

Available in standard, blackout, coloured and patterned fabrics, our range of pleated blinds for Velux windows has something to match every space.

How To Style Your Blinds for Velux Windows

When it comes to styling your blinds for Velux windows there are so many things you might want to consider.

Blinds for Velux windows come in a huge range of colours from muted tones through to eye-popping bolds! You may want to make a statement with your Velux window dressing by opting for patterned or coloured blinds for your Velux windows. Or, you might want the window dressing to blend into your ceiling, so opt for a cream or white to not stand out.

Do you want your blinds for Velux windows to coordinate with your other window dressings? If so, you could request 5 free samples from our website to making the matching process ten times easier! You could also pop into our showrooms to see our hundreds of fabric options on show.

Finally, how are you going to operate your blinds? At such a height, you could consider a pole for opening and closing them. However, for real ease, our motorised blinds for Velux windows work a dream! Close your blinds at the click of a button or link them up to your smart home hub for extra added ease.

Stay in control of the light in your home with one of our blinds for Velux windows! Browse our range and take your pick from our rollers, pleated and Venetian blinds.

Why Made to Measure Blinds Are the Best

1. Made to Measure Blinds Are the Perfect Fit for Your Window

Every home – and window – is different. This can make purchasing new blinds tricky. 

The main reason for choosing made to measure blinds is that the overall finish is better. This is because they are produced with your exact window in mind. Therefore, they’ll look the perfect fit with a clean-cut finish. Having a good fit will help to keep more light out, offer more privacy, and help to keep the warmth in too!

A ready-made alternative is likely to need to be cut down to size to suit your window width. Cutting an off the shelf blind can sometimes result in inaccurate lengths or frayed edges, plus, you can never guarantee they’ll properly fit your window! Unlike with made to measure blinds.

2. A Huge Range of Options for Made to Measure Blinds

Another reason you should choose made to measure blinds is that they’re made exactly to your style and requirements.

All our blinds are produced from scratch in our Blaydon factory, so we can provide the exact blinds that you need for your space. This could include a dimout lining for a bedroom, splash-proof fabric for your kitchen, or a black metal chain to match the rest of your décor! The world of made to measure blinds brings so many options when it comes to dressing your windows.

Made to measure blinds give you the freedom to create the perfect blinds for your home. Not only do A1 offer 11 different blind styles, but we also have thousands of colour and fabric options to choose from too!

Roller blinds are one of our most popular blind styles year on year. Understandable really! They give a modern look to any window and can be styled to your tastes and needs.

So, what is a roller blind? Roller blinds are a single piece of fabric that is rolled around a metal pole and fit across the top of your window. They can be fitted either on the inside or the outside. These blinds operate by unrolling to cover your window via a chain mechanism that is attached to the casting. Or, you can opt for the motorised mechanism whereby they open at the touch of a button!

The versatility in our range of roller blinds makes them a perfect choice for every room in the home. Our PVC roller blinds are superb for kitchens and bathrooms, as they can be wiped clean and are moisture resistant. Their contemporary design means they’ll complement any décor in a bedroom or living room alike. And, with blackout and dimout options available, roller blinds are a brilliant choice for complete light control.

At A1 there are endless possibilities when it comes to designing your roller blind! With thousands of fabrics to choose from, as well as a choice of bottom edge design and accessories, you’re truly able to make them your own. So, whether you coordinate your blinds across the house or mix it up from room to room, the choice is yours, and we have plenty! Read on to discover our top tips for styling your roller blinds.

1. Patterned Roller Blinds

Styling your home with patterned roller blinds will liven up your space instantly!

Large-scale patterns are on trend this season, but a smaller pattern is just as effective. You can use patterned roller blinds to pull together accent colours, or to decorate a plainer space. Style your pattered blinds with matching curtains, cushions or a rug. Or, have them as a statement piece to inject some colour.

We have lots to choose from when it comes to patterned roller blinds. Choose from a selection of dainty florals, geometric prints, large retro patterns and more!

2. Coloured Roller Blinds

Who said plain has to be boring? Plain coloured roller blinds could be the pop of colour that your home needs!

For a timeless look go for a neutral colour like grey, beige or off-white. Or, if you’re a little more daring, dark blue, green and ochre have proven very popular this year. These shades are all very versatile and can be styled with many other colours time and time again!

We suggest choosing a textured fabric with a plain coloured blind. This will add some depth and warmth to your space.

And then there’s also colour blocking! We have several roller blinds with a colour block design that work beautifully for dressing your windows. Colour block is a great way to join two colour schemes together, be it contrasting or complementary. Colour block roller blinds add a cool vibe to your home.

3. Roller Blinds With A Shaped Hem

Having a roller blind with a shaped hem has the power to soften a room completely. A scalloped finish will bring a touch of elegance to your window and is a great addition to a plain or subtle print.

A more traditional straight edge roller blind works best for a louder pattern or bolder colour, allowing the fabric design to take centre stage.

4. Accessories For Your Roller Blinds

Make them your own with that extra little finishing touch! Adding accessories to your roller blinds adds an air of luxury to a window. Our range covers braids, eyelets and pulls.

Our fabric braids are an elegant and fun addition to your roller blinds. Go for an accent shade or a contrasting colour, sewn onto the hem for a subtle yet beautiful design.

Eyelets are a smart addition to your roller blinds and are also a great way to style a plainer design. They are sewn in a row along the bottom of the hem for a sophisticated look.

A decorative pull finishes off a blind perfectly. From fabric and wood to metal and beads, there’s an option to suit every décor.

All of our made-to-measure roller blinds can be fitted with quality accessories that complement your chosen blind beautifully. Ask our team about our selection of roller blinds accessories to find out more.

Blackout children’s bedroom blinds

So we’ve talked about style but now for the important part. Sleep.

Babies, toddlers, and children need up to 12 hours of sleep per night, plus naps during the day. This can certainly be difficult when the sun is beaming through the windows!

Blackout window blinds are ideal for reducing light levels in a bedroom and creating a restful area for your children. Not only that, but they’re also perfect for keeping rooms cool by reducing their sunlight levels.

Blackout fabrics, therefore, produce the perfect children’s bedroom blinds.

Many of our roller blinds, Roman blinds, pleated blinds, vertical blinds, panel blinds, vision blinds, and Velux blinds are available with a blackout fabric.

Also if you like the sound of blackouts for your own bedroom, we have an entire range of blackout window binds to suit your style too.

Child safe blinds

Of course, your children’s bedroom blinds need to look the part, but safety always comes first. And in fact, all blinds within the home, not just in children’s bedrooms, should comply with Child Safety Regulations.

Upon ordering your blinds, you can talk with the team and they will provide you with all the additional child safety options and guidance when it comes to your blinds. Our fitters will also install all of the safety accessories you need on the day of your fitting.

So when you buy from A1 Blinds, not only will you have beautiful blinds, but you can rest assured that all of our products comply with Child Safety Laws.
