It is the shutters that change the light and shadow, thus saving heat and beauty

In the sunny summer, the room without curtains to block the sun can not do, wooden blindrolling heat waves will come through the transparent Windows to the house.

This is what they have been looking forward to since they put blinds on their office Windows in the morning. window blindsIn the absence of curtains, Xiao Tong and other designers have been enduring the midday sun and high temperatures to draw and design for everyone. But the blinds were installed, the office was out of the sun, the temperature dropped, and the appearance of the office went up.

Today we're going to talk about blinds.

Source of blinds

You know what? Blinds this learning thing is also the earliest development or mainly from our China. venetian blindIn China, there are mullion Windows in the ancient traditional building enterprises from the Warring States to the Han Dynasty, and in China's Ming Dynasty, there are mullion Windows, and this part is the predecessor of the shutters. However, the foundation of the modern blind form was invented in 1841 by an American named John Hampson.

Types of blinds

Blinds are a large class of curtains, which are actually divided into several types:

Horizontal, vertical, folding, rolling, push-pull.

Usually the most commonly used is the horizontal type, which controls the rotation of the blade into the indoor sunlight by simply rotating the rod to adjust the Angle of the shutter, and adjusts the up and down of the shutter by the side of the rope.

Material of blinds

Blinds are generally made of bamboo, wood chips, fiberglass, aluminum alloy and the most common PVC material. Because bamboo and wood materials are easy to be damp and not easy to clean, it is not recommended to install bamboo and wood shutters in the kitchen and bathroom, and aluminum alloy and PVC plastic shutters that are not easy to be damp can be used.

Advantages and disadvantages

Compared with traditional Chinese cloth and curtains, blinds have certain advantages, such as:

Because the material is not good, you can use a damp cloth and water to clean the dust

Compared with cloth curtains, it saves space and can be hidden in the window.

The amount of light in the room can be adjusted by a simple rotating rod and rope, rather than the curtain needing to be fully opened, but also to ensure a degree of privacy

The price is relatively cheap, and the simple appearance and mottled shadows make the room look taller.

However, shutters also have their own shortcomings, which is the reason why shutters do not carry out large-scale data applications:

Compared with curtains, blinds are easy to fall dust, and cleaning is time-consuming and laborious

The shading effect is poor, especially in the morning and summer. Even the blinds with thickened blades cannot achieve the shading effect of thick curtains.

When the Windows are open and there is wind outside, the blinds shake and make noise

In the case of shutters being closed, the protective development of privacy is relatively poor

 Application of blinds

Speaking of curtains, most of them think of fabric curtains, and in our traditional Chinese families today, the application ability of shutters is not so extensive, and the reason analysis is also the enterprise because of the shortcomings mentioned above.

Due to the characteristics that plastic and alloy shutters can be wiped directly with cloth or cleaned directly with water, they are very suitable for thick oil smoke, need to clean oil smoke kitchens, and are also suitable for large bathroom Spaces where there is often water and air water vapor.

The common space in home applications is the study room, which has low privacy requirements, and even if the shading effect is poor, it has little impact on the residents who read and work in the study room. Similarly, there are public offices with large glass curtain walls and glass partitions using shutters. There are also public balconies. The Windows of the balcony are equipped with shutters, which can make full use of the characteristics of the shutters to control the amount of light entering, forming a lattice mottled light and shadow, so that the whole balcony is full of the feeling of watching movies.

However, due to the noise generated by the shading effect and exposure to wind, the use of blinds in the bedroom is relatively rare.

In order to solve the problem of noise caused by dust accumulation in the wind, a new type of shutters installed in vacuum glass is applied, which has the advantages of shutters and avoids the problems of dust and noise. Some styles are electronically controlled lifting, and friends in need can install this shutter.

Installation of blinds

When it comes to the installation of shutters, we must first analyze and measure the size data of the window frame in a position of the shutter installation, which is divided into different measurements of the inner frame size and the outer frame size. After obtaining a more accurate window frame size, it is convenient to use the shutter manufacturers for design and production.

The installation position can also be divided into window frame and window frame outside, if installed in the window frame, because the active width of the shutter is between 5-10cm, it is necessary to ensure that the width of the window frame is about 10cm, and there is not enough space on the windowsill to place the object. If it is installed outside the window frame, it is necessary to ensure that the width of the shutters on both sides of the window frame is greater than 5 cm, in order to obtain a more beautiful effect.

Shutters, which have existed for more than a century and a half and were gradually abandoned because of their shortcomings, are now returning to people's vision because of the birth and high value of new styles, and are gradually applied to more Spaces, injecting more design elements into the construction of houses and giving residents more choices.
