Fabric Blinds

Fabric blinds refer to all blinds that are made of fabric. These are the honeycomb or cellular blinds, the pleated, roman, and roller blinds. They come in different colors but are mostly of the pastel hues.

Honeycomb blinds have cellular shapes that make them energy efficient. They are also good for reducing sound propagation. That means, you can’t hear the noise from outside and they can’t hear your conversations.

Pleated shades are typically semi-transparent although privacy liners or total blackout liners can be added to the back if privacy is needed. Unlike honeycomb blinds though, this type of fabric blinds are not as energy efficient.

Roman shades are the most familiar type of fabric blinds. Aside from being one of the oldest designs, they also come in the widest range of colors and patterns. Although most are made of polyester, you can also find linen, silk, and cotton types.

Roller shades, as the name implies, operate on a roller system as they are pulled up or down. The materials and colors used are the same as Roman shades. That is to say, polyester, linen, silk or cotton. Some state-of-the-art models can be manipulated through either a radio or infrared control.
