The roller blind is a preferred model due to its ease of use and durability. Basically, it is a mechanism formed by wrapping a fabric on an aluminum tube. Although the fabrics used, pattern and color characteristics vary, the mechanism is the same in all types of roller blinds. Roller blind models, which have a wide range of use, can be attached to the cornice with special apparatus, or can be mounted to the ceiling or wall without the need for a cornice. The roller blind has a chain or spring mechanism. To open or close, it is necessary to pull the chain attached to the pipe. The curtain opens when the fabric is wrapped around the tube, and is closed when it swings down. Although the width and height ratio of the curtain can be made specifically for the window, the fabric width is usually between 200 and 300 cm. Regardless of the fabric used, roller blinds are not permeable to light.
What are the Features of Roller Blind Fabric?
Many different fabrics such as cotton and polyester can be used in roller blinds. However, all of the fabrics used have a black-out feature. In other words, these fabrics are produced in a way that completely blocks the light transmission. In this way, shadows and reflections that can be seen from the outside are completely prevented. On the other hand, raw fabric is not used in roller blinds. The fabrics used are hardened in a special machine and brittleness is prevented. The purpose of this process is to prevent the fabric from sliding to the right or left as it opens and closes on its role. Roller blinds largely owe their durability to this process. In the process called finishing, it is possible to make the curtain fabric non-flammable and anti-bacterial. PVC coating material is generally used on the back of the fabrics. In this way, the fabric of the roller blind is rendered unaffected by the sun.
