Choosing blinds for your home is a big decision, and one that it's worth putting some thought into. As well as adding a certain aesthetic, the right blinds can help you control the flow of light into your home, regulate your home's temperature, save on your energy costs and much more.
While a Luxaflex consultant can answer your specific questions and provide a recommendation for you and your home, here's a quick overview of some of the options:
Roller blinds are, as their name suggests, window coverings that roll down from a circular rod at the top of your window. They're often popular in bedrooms, and come in a huge range of prints and fabrics, so it's easy to find an option that suits your home.
The Australian Made, Luxaflex® Roller Blinds range comes with patented EDGE® technology, which means they have been ergonomically designed for greater efficiency. They can also span even the largest window beautifully, and their highly durable hardware makes them easy to operate and durable.
There are several fabrics to choose from in this range, too - from blackout to light filtering screens. You also have the option of low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) textiles for those sensitive to the smell of fabrics. Many fabrics are sanitized - for optimal hygiene, and treated with DURAGUARD® Fabric Protector to repel most stain-causing agents.
As well as a choice of fabrics, you can also select a wide range of operating solutions to suit your lifestyle. Standard chain operation is a simple to use and affordable option suitable for use throughout the home. LiteRise® provides an entirely cordless operation that self-contained and simple to operate - where you effortlessly pull or lift the base rail to adjust the height.
Every member of the Luxaflex® Roller Blind Range is also compatible with PowerView® and Qmotion motorisation. Batteries are hidden in the roller tube and no electrician is required.
Luxaflex® Vertical Blinds are another popular option in many homes, as they add a fresh new dimension to a traditional window dressing.
This type of blind is incredibly versatile, and they are ideal for larger windows and doors. They can also be easily stacked to the left, the right or even split down the centre, depending on your requirements.
Luxaflex® Vertical Blinds are specially designed for Australian conditions and are suitable for a wide range of applications. They're characterised by their flexibility, durability and efficient solar protection.
With a beaded chain and cord, you can tilt the blades of these blinds for complete control and direction of light. Or, you can also choose the option of a Traversing Wand for effortless and smooth operation control. Simply use one hand tilt the blades, and draw across.
Plus, you can add your own personal touch and choose from translucent and block-out fabrics in a huge variety of colours.
Venetian Blinds are also a modern take on the traditional favourite. They are available in three different styles: Aluminium Venetian Blinds, Everwoods Blinds and Country Woods® Venetians.
The Luxaflex® range includes a wide variety of customisable options including slat colour, size, material and operating method.
Luxaflex® Aluminium Venetian Blinds have been a long-time favourite since we introduced them to the market in 1960. These classic blinds have a timeless design and are highly functional for both heat and privacy control. With a superior coating, the aluminium venetian slats are resistant to abrasion, peeling, scratching and discolouration, making them perfect for low-maintenance and longevity.
Luxaflex® Everwoods Blinds are a great, practical alternative to real timber blinds. Made from a durable polystyrene material, they're ideal for high humidity areas such as bathrooms, laundries and kitchens as they are impervious to moisture and are guaranteed not to fade, crack or peel even when exposed to direct sunlight.
Luxaflex® Country Woods® Venetians are made from poplar, a lightweight wood which provides great dependability. Fashioned to create a warm and inviting home, Country Woods Venetians are available in a variety of colours and slat sizes.
Another great option to consider, and which is increasing in popularity in many home designs, is Soft Shades.
Soft Shades are a newer type of blind innovation and function as somewhat of a screen - letting light through but still providing all-important privacy. Some of the most popular Luxaflex® Softshades include Luxaflex® Pirouette® Shadings and Luxaflex® Luminette® Privacy Sheers.
Luxaflex® Silhouette® Shadings are made from an innovative material that allows you to see outside, while still restricting the view from the outside to the inside. They are made from 100% anti-static, dust-resistant polyester, and are durable and easy to clean. They also come in two opacities - translucent and room-darkening.
Luxaflex® Pirouette® Shadings provide softly curved, elegant horizontal fabric vanes attached to a sheer backing for an enhanced way of controlling light and privacy for you and your family. They have a classic look, and the delicate folds appear to float above the window, allowing light to filter through, or to be completely closed for total privacy.
Luxaflex® Luminette® Privacy Sheers combine the timeless beauty of a sheer curtain with the superior control of a blind. They feature a softly curved, vertical design with integrated fabric vanes for a striking interior statement.
