What types of motorised blinds to buy?

This blind operates with a roller around which the fabric rolls up. When it is not motorised, the height of the fabric is adjusted by pulling on a small chain or string. A stop notch or brake blocks the blind at the desired level.

The roll-up blind is available in several widths and is thus suitable for large bay windows as well as small windows.

Wide range of fabrics: fabrics made of linen, polyester or cotton are available depending on your needs.
Some technical fabrics fully block the light and provide heat insulation for better everyday comfort. Decorative fabrics filter the light to avoid the glare.

The roll-up blind has the advantage of requiring less space while being used and can be installed on numerous supports: roof window, ceiling, on the wall or on the opening of the window, etc.

It is also easy to install and remove, e.g. when you want to wash the fabric.

They also protect from heat when the sun beats down on the bay windows. They are suitable for small and large windows, as well as for tilt and turn windows.
Nevertheless, being fabric-based, they are not recommended for kitchens.

Do note that the dimensions of this type of blind are quite significant when it is folded. You need to keep this parameter in mind while deciding its spot.
