What Are Vision Blinds?
So, you’re here because you’re wondering what Vision Blinds are? Let us start by saying Vision Blinds are also known as Day & Night blinds – in case there’s any confusion!
Compared to your more traditional blinds such as Romans, Rollers and Verticals, Vision Blinds are the ‘new kids on the block’ having joined the market much, much later. Which could be why you might not have heard of them!
Today, Vision blinds are growing increasingly popular as people continue to seek out more stand-out features for their homes. Vison blinds offer a contemporary, modern, and stylish window dressing to suit any space. Although they’re suitable for all property types, these blinds work particularly well in modern properties.
So, what exactly are Vision Blinds?
Think Roller blinds. Then think Venetian blinds. Now think of the advantages of both styles, combined. Vision Blinds strike the perfect balance between the advantages of Roller and Venetian blinds.
Visually, Vision blinds present as a fabric blind with numerous horizontal stripes. Physically, Vision blinds are made up of two layers of opaque and translucent striped fabrics which move independently allowing the fabrics to glide over one another.
Not only do Vision blinds look the part, but they play their part too. Vision blinds offer a host of benefits to your home:
- Stylish shading solutions
- Benefit from excellent light and privacy control
- Eliminate the suns glare
- Easy to clean
- Enjoy improved energy efficiency as the two fabric layers help to maintain room temperature
How Do Vision Blinds Work?
Vision blinds work in a similar way to the standard roller blind, with a roll at the top and operated via a control chain to the side. The key difference is the fabric.
As mentioned earlier, the two fabrics slide past one another effortlessly. This enables different levels of light-blocking and privacy control depending on where you position the stripes.
There are three options for light control when it comes to Vision blinds:
1). Position the stripes over each other for the perfect combination of natural light and privacy.
2). Position the stripes alternatively for full privacy and ‘closed’ blinds.
3). Or retract the blind completely to enjoy the entire scope of the view.
Are Vision Blinds Available with The Perfect Fit System?
Yes! Vision blinds are compatible with the Perfect Fit System.
Are you looking for blinds for Velux windows or patio doors? Or simply don’t want to drill into your UPVC window frames? Perfect Fit Vision blinds could be for you.
The perfect fit system secures the blinds to your window perfectly and requires no drilling to fit! Instead, a frame is attached to your window with clips, and the blind is fitted within the frame. What could be simpler? This also makes Vision blinds a great choice for renters or student accommodations.
Which Rooms Do Vision Blinds Work Best In?
Vision blinds are perfect for the kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom. Thanks to their contemporary design, Vision blinds work great across the entire home! So, if you’re looking to have a full house of matching blinds, Vision blinds might be the answer.
The two fabric layers will also help to improve energy efficiency, making them especially good for the bedroom and the living room. Opt for a dimout fabric for even better light control performance for those lighter mornings and nights.
With fantastic light and privacy control, they’d also make the perfect home office blind - taking the glare away from your screen and television too.
