Homeowners use their properties in different ways which makes every home unique. Many houses whether new build or older properties have rooms that could benefit from more light. Consequently the homeowner is often left with the dilemma of balancing the need for natural light against the need for privacy.
How Between Glass Blinds can provide solutions in your home.
Natural light is an obvious benefit to any room, but depending on the aspect of the room there may be a need for privacy. There could be different reasons for needing to keep a room private. It is therefore to be expected that light will be required in different types of rooms when they’re in use, but keeping the rooms and their contents obscure when needed.
Between Glass Blinds for Kitchens
The Kitchen is arguably the most commonly used room and has so many different uses.
Integral blinds are excellent for kitchen windows and doors where moisture, pets and daily living puts wear and tear on conventional blinds.
Depending on our individual properties kitchens are far more than cooking areas where moisture from cooking or home appliances can affect typical fabric blinds fitted to doors and windows. We use our kitchens for work, play and many of us even keep our pet bedding and food in the kitchen.
Therefore a high use room can age a traditional fabric blind or curtain much faster than a bedroom or a spare room.
Many kitchens are also situated in the back of the home making them visible at night and particularly in the Autumnal months when the nights draw in.
Between Glass Blinds are blinds between double glazed units, which can therefore help keep kitchen windows private when needed yet bright when in use. And they can avoid the wear and tear associated with any fabric or paper blind in a high use room.
Many kitchens have doors as well as windows in the room and these too can all benefit by having their glass replaced with integral blinds.
