often overlooked benefits of having vertical blinds on the gold coast
TRANSCRIPT
During the winter, our windows are our life savers; they allow all of the beautiful sunshine into the
house while keeping it warm. During the summer; however, our feelings change and the beautiful
sunshine becomes our foe, filling up our homes while our air conditioning struggles to combat the
heat. Vertical blinds can be the perfect solution throughout the year since they let the sun in during
the winter but can block it throughout the summer, saving up to 20 per cent on your energy bills.
Sunlight has other adverse effects as it can also bleach materials. Your home furnishings, decor and
flooring are all at risk of fading over time because of the sun. Installing vertical blinds on the Gold
Coast can cover the entire window in order to protect your home.
If you still want some of the natural light to enter your house without causing headaches or
eyestrain, you can use vertical blinds to divert the light away from the television or computer screen
you may be using. Doing this to keep the sunlight away from your skin can also prevent sunburns
and the risk of skin cancer that goes with it.
The number of different styles of vertical blinds can sometimes be overwhelming: there are different
types of slats ranging from aluminium to fabric, all with their own variety of finishes and colours.
Cleaning the blinds, regardless of the material, is easier than with Venetian blinds because they do
not have many horizontal surfaces for dust to land on. Aluminium or other metallic finishes can be
cleaned with a simple wipe and fabric blinds can be dusted down without much hassle.
When buying vertical blinds on the Gold Coast, it is possible to measure and install them yourself;
however, it can be very easy to make mistakes with the measurements. If you are installing the
blinds within the reveal and one of the window reveal walls is not perfectly straight, the blind may
not fit. Hiring a reputable company to give you a free measurement and quote can save you a lot of
time and money.
