When choosing how to finish a window in style, here are some good reasons why to opt for blinds, whether wooden louvre blinds or cellular blinds.
Our wooden blind ranges add classic beauty to the value of any property. Opposed to the decor specific nature of curtains or related fabric window dressings, wooden blinds add to the architectural value of a property.
Wood is inherently green; a renewable and sustainable material and when sourced from sustainable forests, it is a green material of choice.
The South African Government is focused on reducing the national energy requirement. Energy efficient standards are soon to be legislated for residential, commercial and industrial developments. This is being spearheaded by the Department of Minerals and Energy in collaboration with the Department of Housing. These standards, which are being established through the SABS, will stipulate the planning and design of naturally ventilated buildings. This includes aspects such as orientation, shading, window design, choice of building materials, solar heating and natural cooling and lighting.
Blinds offer excellent thermal and sound insulation. Cellular blinds trap air in the pleated compartments between two or more layers of material preventing heat loss and blocking out noise pollution.
