Recommendations for choosing roller blinds for a loggia

When choosing roller blinds, you should take into account some nuances:

  • For small balcony windows, it is better to choose roller blinds with large prints and patterns, and for large ones, on the contrary, smaller patterns and ornaments are suitable.
  • You should not use curtains of too dark colors for the design of a balcony located on the sunny side, since such fabrics will contribute to the heating of the room.
  • Roller blinds made of low-density fabrics are suitable for a poorly lit balcony space.

Opaqueness of roller blinds

Roller fabrics are divided into several types according to their light transmittance:

  • Translucent. They have a fairly low density and transmit light well. As a rule, they are more often used as a room decor rather than for protection from the sun.
  • Reflective. Thanks to a special impregnation, they reflect ultraviolet rays. These models are especially suitable for balconies located on the south side.
  • Diffusing. They create a slight darkening effect and softly diffuse the light passing through them.
  • Day night (zebra). Very popular models. Alternating dense and transparent stripes allow you to very conveniently adjust the degree of illumination on the loggia and the room adjacent to it, such as the kitchen, bedroom or living room.
  • Complete protection from the sun. They provide maximum darkening and completely cut off sunlight.

Fabric material

The main types of fabrics used to make roller blinds:

  • Fabric. These can be a variety of fabrics, such as linen, cotton, jacquard or silk. Blackout is a particularly well-known and popular material. It is used when complete protection from the sun is required.
  • Blended fabric. It imitates and is no different in appearance from natural analogues, but significantly surpasses these products in wear resistance.
  • Natural materials (jute, bamboo). Durable, practical roller blinds made of jute or bamboo are very easy to maintain and are highly environmentally friendly, thanks to these qualities
  • Polyester / PVC. Moisture-resistant material with a long service life. Products and polyester, perfectly absorb and reflect sunlight.
