Blinds are not a new design; they have been known since the times of Ancient Egypt. The principle of their operation has remained virtually unchanged for many centuries. There are two types - vertical and horizontal, the latter, in turn, are divided into several more subspecies.
More recently, the market for such products has been replenished with a new product - Day-Night roller blinds, otherwise called Zebra. Conventional horizontal blinds are made of one layer of canvas attached to a special shaft. The design also has a cord that sets the fabric in motion and opens or closes the window in various modes. The position of the product on the window is fixed using a special stick (aka a bell). Features and differences from other window products.
Product Day-Night They differ from the others in that they consist of two canvases running parallel to each other - dense and mesh. Dense stripes are most often dark, but there are also colored or white, mesh strips of fabric that are translucent.Light-protecting strips are made from different materials: synthetic fabric impregnated with a special Teflon composition - the most common option; plastic; tree. Impregnation of fabric strips makes them dust-repellent and moisture-proof and also prevents bacteria from accumulating.
The most durable Day-Night products made of plastic and wood. Fabric strips can quickly become frayed and unusable. The width of the canvas can be different, but dense strips are always 25 mm wider than mesh strips.
Purpose
Conventional vertical and horizontal blinds only allow you to let light into the room or protect the room on a sunny day.
Using the Day-Night product, you can also regulate the level of illumination in the room: if the sun shines too brightly, it is necessary to bring the dense material into such a position that the room remains light, but does not blind the eyes. If there is not enough light, you need to completely expand the mesh. Thus, each person arranges the natural lighting in the room in accordance with his desires, needs and light tolerance.
Roller blinds Zebra
Types of Zebra roller blinds
Manufacturers have developed several types of Day-Night, satisfying consumers with different financial situations and tastes. Classic Zebra curtains are open-type roller blinds: the structure is attached to the window opening, leaving the window sill completely free. Advantages of open type products: low cost; Ease of Management
Flaw: the canvas, rolled into a roll, simply hangs from below, remaining visible. Zebra mini-blinds are classic roller blinds in miniature: they look the same, but the parameters are smaller. Day-Night mini-blinds are not attached to the entire window, but to one sash.
Pros: compactness; the ability to open the window and ventilate the room. Minus: if it suddenly becomes cloudy or too sunny, there is no way to fully adjust the lighting in the room. Zebra cassette blinds - the canvas and winding shaft are hidden in a special box, thanks to which the roll is not visible. These roller blinds are called differently closed.
pros: elegance; functionality. The downside is that they are expensive: they are one and a half to two times more expensive than classic ones. How to choose Zebra roller blinds? The choice of a Day-Night product depends on many factors: type of room, size of window openings, budget level
The design of the Zebra directly depends on the interior style. If roller blinds are purchased for the office, you need to choose classic products with alternating white plastic and transparent mesh stripes. If Day-Night roller blinds will cover the windows in the living room in a high-tech or minimalist style, it is better to choose a canvas with black or silver stripes; a good option is a wooden light-blocking canvas.
If you are buying Zebra blinds for the bedroom, pay attention to options with stripes of pastel shades. Day-Night curtains with bright colored stripes of dense fabric are suitable for a child's room. The size of window openings is very important when choosing: for large office windows you need to purchase classic Zebra curtains - this is an ideal ratio of price, quality and functions; The best option for a hall is a closed type product. You can hang Day-Night mini-blinds in your kitchen or workroom.
Budget level plays a big role. But when trying to save on a product, remember that this design is chosen for many years.So it’s better to spend money once and install cassette or classic Zebra roller blinds and calmly regulate the lighting in the rooms, rather than hang mini-blinds on large windows and not feel their functionality. Different types of Day-Night are mounted in different ways: the owner of the house can hang the mini or classic version himself, but to install the closed Zebra type it is better to invite specialists.
Caring for Zebra roller blinds
In any room, dust accumulates very quickly on curtains and blinds. This is inevitable, even if the room is wet cleaned every day. Regular curtains need to be removed and washed, which is time-consuming and inconvenient. A huge advantage of the product is that they do not require special care: it is enough to wipe the dense and mesh strips with damp wipes or a cloth soaked in water once every two to three days (or as they become dirty, if the room is dusty). There is no need to wash Day-Night blinds, nor do you need to vacuum them.
Zebra blinds are both a stylish and very functional option for adjusting lighting both at home and in the office. Roller blinds will fit well into any interior. Ordinary curtains have not outlived their time, but they are very inconvenient. The long-known vertical blinds are quite bulky and often break.
Blinds Day-Night - this is an opportunity not only to protect the room from light, but also to change the level of natural light, as well as decorate the room. The simple design of Zebra roller blinds makes them durable, reliable and easy to operate. Day-Night blinds do not overload the window, do not collect dust and do not distract unnecessary attention.
