Information
INTERNAL FABRICS – Designed Blinds Australia have designed over 200 fabrics for their blinds. Their passion for textile pushed them to design their own fabrics, in order to create a unique product. It is different to what can be seen elsewhere, and it is part of their ongoing commitment to ensure that every blind they manufacture is unique.
Understanding colour trends is also part of the process, and leads to numerous trials and tests to achieve the most striking shades of whites, charcoals, browns but also brighter colours.
The result is an ever-evolving collection of stunning fabrics, in either sheer, translucent or blockout.
Blockout – All internal blind styles
As the name suggests, blockout fabrics ‘block’ sunlight from entering a room. Light penetration is minimised, which means blockout fabrics are the perfect solution for bedrooms. Blockout fabrics offer the maximum protection possible from heat, glare and UV. Blockout fabric often feature a white backing, as white offers excellent reflection of the heat.
Translucent – All internal blind styles
Translucent fabrics are perfect for living areas. While still providing privacy and UV protection, light is gently filtered into the room. Numerous designs are available, from fine plain fabrics right through to heavily textured weaves, so you have more control over the amount of light entering a room.
Sheer fabrics have the finest weave and allow sunlight to stream through during the day while maintaining daytime privacy. Depending on the tightness of the weave, outside views can still be preserved while the blind is down. Sheer fabrics provide good UV and heat protection.
