Blinds and Roller Shades: Types, Fabrics and Mechanisms

Blinds and roller shades are window sun-control systems that regulate daylight, provide privacy and complement the interior of a room.

Horizontal and vertical blinds are made of aluminium, plastic or fabric, while roller shades use fabrics of different density, including light-filtering and blackout types. For metal-plastic (PVC) windows there are cassette systems that move together with the sash and require no drilling of the frame.
