Recommendations for choosing a roller blind on a loggia

• For poorly lit balcony space, roller blinds made of low density fabrics are suitable.

Lightproof Roll Curtain

Rolled webs by light transmittance are divided into several types:

• Translucent. They have a fairly low density and transmit light well. As a rule, they are more often used as a room decor, and not for protection from the sun.
• Reflective. Thanks to special impregnation, they reflect ultraviolet rays. These models are especially suitable for balconies located on the south side.
• Scattering. They create a light dimming effect and gently scatter the light passing through them.
• Day night (zebra). Very popular models. Alternating dense and transparent stripes, it is very convenient to adjust the degree of lighting on the loggia and the adjacent room, for example, kitchen, bedroom or living room.
• Complete sun protection. Provide maximum dimming and completely cut off sunlight.
