Custom Roller Blinds Westbrook – Free Installation

Yes, and the two things to watch are moisture and egress. A vinyl fabric handles the damp that basement windows get far better than a woven one. If the window is the room's fire egress, the blind has to clear the opening completely when raised, so we mount it high on the wall above rather than inside the frame.

Light filtering passes daylight through the fabric and gives you a soft, even room with no view out. Room darkening blocks nearly all of it and leaves only the thin gap at the edges of the frame. Most living rooms here take light filtering because the room is used during the day. Bedrooms take room darkening, or blackout with side channels for a daytime sleeper.

A vinyl or PVC-coated fabric will not curl. Untreated woven fabrics can ripple at the hem once they take on moisture and dry unevenly, which is what people are usually describing when a bathroom blind stops hanging straight. Set the bottom bar clear of the sill, run the fan, and the blind will outlast the paint in that room.

Usually, and where they sit depends on the bracket. An inside-mounted roller fits behind the rod entirely and the curtains keep working as they are. Where the casing is too shallow, the roller mounts on the wall and the rod has to move out on longer brackets so the panels clear the roll. We check the rod projection at the measure.
