Roman Blinds

What Are Roman Blinds?

Roman blinds feature a horizontal structure that raises and folds when opened. Why are they called “Roman”? A bit of history: it is believed that such structured awnings were used in homes and public buildings during the Roman Empire. Another version is that Roman togas were draped in horizontal bands.

By raising and folding the bands, light penetration is controlled. Roman blinds are valued for their elegant design and easy cleaning.

What Functions Do Roman Blinds Have?

•  Light Control: The blinds regulate the amount of light entering the room. During the day, they filter sunlight, and at night, they provide complete darkness for better rest.

•  Privacy: The blinds control visibility from outside to inside.

•  Energy Efficiency: The blinds reduce heating and cooling costs as they act as thermal insulators.

•  Flexibility: They are suitable for windows of various sizes. They can be mounted on the ceiling, wall, or inside the window frame.

Where Are Roman Blinds Used - In Which Rooms?

Roman blinds are suitable for all rooms of a home. In living rooms, they provide adjustable lighting. In bedrooms, they offer complete darkness, making it easier to relax. They are also suitable for kitchens because they are dust-resistant and easy to clean. Since they don’t have long cords that can be tripped over or tangled, Roman blinds are recommended for children’s rooms.

Roman blinds are a stylish and professional choice for offices. They reduce annoying glare from computer screens.

Fabrics: Available in blackout and semi-transparent options for light filtering.

Advantages of Roman Blinds

•  Complete Darkness: This is a distinctive feature that not all types of blinds possess. If it is important for you to darken your bedroom as much as possible at night, Roman blinds are your choice.

•  Privacy: They provide privacy by controlling visibility from outside to inside.

•  Energy Efficiency: Roman blinds help regulate room temperature as they insulate against cold or heat.

•  Practicality: Besides being easy to clean, Roman blinds are relatively dust and dirt-resistant. They are also suitable for humid areas like bathrooms and kitchens.

•  Safety: Roman blinds don’t have long cords that could entangle small children or pets. 

Disadvantages of Roman Blinds

•  Complex Mechanism: The control mechanism of Roman blinds can be more prone to damage or functional issues compared to simpler mechanisms of other types of blinds.

•  Unsuitable for Large Windows: Some Roman blinds can be too heavy and difficult to manage on large windows.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Roman Blinds

•  Material: If you aim for an elegant interior look, choose Roman blinds. For practicality and water resistance, PVC and aluminum blinds are recommended.
