Roller shutters: simple and stylish solution for every interior
Roller shutters belong to most traditional elements of interior shading. Unlike blinds, they have a solid textile surface that covers the entire window when pulled down. Thanks to this, they can create clean and calm impression in the interior. They are produced in many forms - from classic textile roller shutters to blackout fabrics up to modern duo "day-and-night" roller shutters , where transparent and opaque stripes alternate. Materials range from fine fabrics to technical textiles with a higher level of shading or solar protection.
Thanks to this variability, these roller shutters are suitable for most living rooms. They easily match the interior and do not appear distracting even in a minimalist environment. Interior roller shutters on plastic windows are very practical solution. They are mounted directly on the window frame and hold firmly even during ventilation.
Roller shutters are the ideal choice if you want to keep your interior appearance clean, they need minimal maintenance and provide simple light control with no detailed beam direction.
Blinds: precise light control and timeless look
Interior blinds belong to most flexible types of shading, because they allow detailed light control by tilting the slats. This makes them the ideal choice where you need natural light, but do not want the sun to dazzle you or overheat the room. In addition to classic aluminium designs, wooden blinds are also manufactured, they bring a warmer, natural look, and also modern colour variants, for example in the popular anthracite shade.
Due to their variability, blinds are well suited to living rooms, kitchens and offices, where they help eliminate glare on the monitor. They are also one of the most affordable types of interior shading. The price usually depends on the type of material, width of slats and exact size of the window. Therefore, in practice, we often work with indicative values "interior blinds price per m²", which allow us to quickly compare individual variants. In common installations, the differences between mounting in the frame and mounting in the reveal are also addressed, which can also affect the final price.
Customers are often interested in how the investment in basic aluminium models differs compared to wooden or design variants. In general, classic interior window blinds represent an economical solution, while more massive or natural surfaces bring higher aesthetic value.
Plisse: a flexible option for both regular and atypical windows
Plisse is a modern type of interior shading, it is a type of blinds made of pleated fabric that resembles a delicate accordion. Its biggest advantage is the possibility of smooth movement in both directions – you can pull it from top to bottom, but also from bottom to top. Thanks to this, you can easily cover only a part of the window where you need privacy, while leaving enough light in the room. It offers a softer textile look than blinds and is easy to match with the interior.
Plisse also has the advantage of offering several very discreet installation methods. It is often installed directly on the window frame and does not require intervention in the structure, which makes it a popular solution in modern interiors and rental apartments. Thanks to its lightweight construction and low weight, the installation looks clean and does not disturb the appearance of the window. Plisse is available in a wide range of fabrics, from transparent to blackout, and is suitable for bathrooms (with appropriate type of fabric), living rooms, offices and atypical windows, whether slanted, triangular or skylights.
