Roller Shades Calgary

INTRODUCTION:

Whether you’ve bought a new house, or want to refurbish your old one – roller shades in Calgary can be a good choice to start with.  

Be it an elite mansion, or a studio apartment, roller shades fit anywhere and everywhere.

WHAT ARE ROLLER SHADES?

Roller shades are an interesting addition to window covering. Although they have existed since olden times, it is only now that they are gaining acceptance in households.

As the name suggests, roller shades are a single piece of fabric that can be used as a window covering. Simply roll them up or down, either manually, or via a remote to open or close your windows.

WHAT ARE ROLLER SHADES MADE OF?

Roller shades are made up of synthetic fabric. The synthetic material generally used is polyester or vinyl.

The shades may either be translucent or opaque. It is the choice of the customer to decide whether they want to block out the light fully or partially.

Even with a translucent roller shade, you can add a separate blackout fabric to achieve complete privacy whenever you want.

WHAT ARE ROLLER SHADES GOOD FOR?

Roller shades are multifaceted in terms of use.

Whether you want to cover your balcony to ward off excess heat in the summer or decorate your living room to give it a minimalistic look – roller shades are your best friends.

You can even print your favourite designs or cartoons to liven up your kids’ bedrooms.

In the kitchen and bathrooms, roller shades are highly functional. The material used to manufacture roller shades are moisture-proof, fire-retardant, and heat-retardant.

They also do not catch dirt easily. The cherry on top? They are super easy to clean!

WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR IN ROLLER SHADES?

The first and foremost thing to look out for when buying roller shades is – the quality of the material.

You don’t have to be an interior designer or a decorator to understand this.

You can merely touch the fabric and understand. Does it feel too flimsy? If yes, then, steer clear. It won’t last long.

Too hard? Manual operation won’t be easy.

Secondly, you need to check the light-filtering capacity. It will also influence the degree of privacy you get.

If you are selecting a shade for your living room, you would want one that allows light to enter. Go for translucent roller shades. When the sun gets too hot, roll them down to a height from where light can enter and still not too much.

This gets different when you are choosing roller shades for the nursery or your bedroom. It is better to opt for blackout fabric to get maximum privacy. Or you can add an extra layer of blackout fabric. You can use it whenever you need an afternoon nap or extra privacy.

Another mindful aspect when buying roller shades is – corded or cordless.

Health Canada has enforced strict regulations in terms of corded blinds and shades.

SunBlinds YYC provides you with an exclusive array of cordless roller shades in Calgary.

If you have a toddler, a pet, an aged person, or an infirm – cords are strictly a NO! Accidents happen in a matter of seconds, and most of the time, you may not even be aware. Select cordless roller shades.

If your manufacturer hasn’t mentioned the cleaning rules, ask. Most roller shades are very easy to clean. Just vacuum it or dust it with a feather duster once in a while and you should be good.

And this is one important aspect to look for in roller shades.

For printed roller shades, make sure the ink is non-toxic and eco-friendly. It should not dull away easily as roller shades are UV resistant.

SunBlinds YYC uses ink that does not pose any hazards to either your family or the environment.

SHOULD ROLLER SHADES BE MOUNTED INSIDE OR OUTSIDE?

The answer to this question is relative. It depends upon the discretion of the ones using it.

If you ask us, we would recommend you mount them inside. It gives a clean finished look.

But if you have a crack on the wall above or any other damage marks, you can mount it outside to conceal them.

For balconies, we would recommend mounting roller shades outside.

But, we repeat. Choices vary. You, the one living in the house, should decide which mounting style you like best.

HOW LONG DO ROLLER SHADES LAST?

The longevity of roller shades depends upon your handling them.

Usually, roller shades are very durable. They last for an average of five to seven years.

Sometimes, their lifespan may extend up to ten years.

HOW MUCH DO ROLLER SHADES COST?

Just like their utility factor, the price range of roller shades is highly variable.

The more you customize and add features or accessories, the higher your cost will be.

Generally, they start from $140 for each window.

The material they are made up of also influences the cost of roller shades in Calgary.
