Beautiful blinds to control light and shade

Friday, 27 May 2011 11:34 AM

For security and privacy, a good set of blinds is essential. Go for the best quality you can afford and you can also control light and shade in your living areas. Sunway Blinds have launched their latest collection of pleated and Duette blinds.

Made from luxurious fabric, they also stack neatly when opened to give maximum light control.

With 36 sheer pleated fabrics to choose from, there is a multitude of choice, or there are 65 semi transparent or solid fabrics in a wide range of textures and colours. Plain bright white in floral and textured weaves, block and scroll designs in simple cream and beige fabrics, or pretty taupe patterns and natural weaves through to chocolate browns. Or to inject a hint of colour chose from a palette of fresh, warm and cool tones. 

The air layer in the honeycomb structure of Duette acts as a temperature control – cool in the summer and insulating in the winter. Classic and Fixe are available in 10 popular colours from clean white or soft ivory through to dramatic evergreen or brick. I

Selected fabrics can be treated with Advanced Solar Coating which improves the efficiency of a fabric, or treated with Topar plus which is a coating that is moisture repellent and is designed for heat prevention.
