How to choose rolletes for PVC windows: brief guide

Textile (fabric) roller blinds are an elegant alternative to traditional curtains. They blend seamlessly into various interior styles and effectively manage light control.

Why Choose Textile Roller Blinds

• Space‑saving design: don’t clutter the space, ideal for small rooms.
• Smooth operation: easy to raise and lower using a chain or electric drive.
• Variety of fabrics: from sheer to completely opaque options.
• Easy maintenance: most fabrics can be cleaned with a dry brush or vacuum cleaner.

Key Selection Criteria

1. Fabric Density
   • Sheer (10–30 % blackout): let light through while preserving the view.
   • Semi‑sheer (40–60 %): diffuse light, create soft twilight.
   • Blackout (90–100 %): block light completely, perfect for bedrooms.
2. Colour and Texture
   • Neutral tones (beige, grey, white): versatile, visually expand the space.
   • Bold colours: add vibrancy but require thoughtful coordination.
   • Matte fabrics: understated classic look.
   • Metallised coatings: reflect UV rays, reduce room heating.
3. Mounting System
   • On the frame (no drilling): suitable for any PVC windows.
   • In the opening: creates an integrated look.
   • On ceiling/wall: for panoramic windows.
4. Control Mechanism
   • Manual (chain, spring): budget‑friendly and reliable.
   • Electric (remote, timer): convenient for high windows or complex configurations.

Where Textile Roller Blinds Work Best

• Bedroom: blackout models for restful sleep.
• Living room: semi‑sheer fabrics for soft lighting.
• Kitchen: easy‑to‑clean materials (polyester with coating).
• Home office: fabrics with reflective coating to protect monitor screens.

Care Tips

• Regularly remove dust with a soft brush or vacuum attachment.
• For local stains, use a damp sponge with neutral detergent.
• Avoid machine washing — only dry cleaning or professional dry‑cleaning is recommended.
• Do not use harsh bleaches or solvents.

What to Check Before Buying

1. Compatibility with window type (don’t interfere with sash opening).
2. Smooth operation (no jamming).
3. Certifications for fire resistance and eco‑friendliness (especially for children’s rooms).
4. Fabric edge quality (hemmed or overlocked).

Textile roller blinds combine sleek design with practicality: they protect from sunlight, ensure privacy, and easily fit into any interior style — from minimalism to Scandinavian design.
