Blinds & Shutters - Issue 3/2023
Summer seems to have arrived and I imagine it’s peak season for companies that are involved in the awnings and solar shading markets. There seems to a lot of choices out there and it will be interesting to see how the home improvement market copes with the increasing of interest rates over the last few months. Lots of fixed mortgage rates are coming to an end, from historically low levels, so it way create another shock to consumers. So fingers crossed that it’s not as bad as some economists would have us believe and hopefully the rest of the summer will be long and hot!

ROLLER BLINDS<br />
Be Different and Impress<br />
Your Friends<br />
Roller blinds allow customers to be<br />
creative and showcase their unique style<br />
and personality. They can choose from a<br />
range of designs, prints and seasonal colours<br />
– from floral prints for the spring, to muted<br />
tones for the winter. Azalea, Acacia, Fern and<br />
Sweet Pea should come into consideration<br />
here. As a window blind supplier, it is<br />
important to have a diverse range of<br />
products, including those that cater to<br />
unconventional tastes.<br />
Special Fabric Coatings<br />
Many roller blind fabrics now come with<br />
special coatings or treatments to enhance<br />
their performance. Ultrafresh is an<br />
antimicrobial treatment by Louvolite that<br />
kills bacteria and fungus, making roller blinds<br />
suitable for kitchens or other areas where<br />
hygiene is important. SPC, or Solar<br />
Performance Coating, is a fabric treatment<br />
that reflects heat and UV rays, making it<br />
perfect for south-facing windows or rooms<br />
that get a lot of sun.<br />
Flame Retardant <strong>Blinds</strong><br />
For commercial blinds, it is usually<br />
required by law to have flame retardant<br />
window coverings. Flame retardant roller<br />
blinds have been treated with special<br />
chemicals that prevent the fabric from<br />
catching fire or spreading flames. Louvolite<br />
offers many flame retardant options, so you<br />
can choose from a wide range of styles and<br />
colours.<br />
Pollergen Technology<br />
Allergy sufferers will be pleased to know<br />
that there are roller blinds on the market<br />
that are specially designed to reduce the<br />
impact of pollen and other allergens.<br />
Pollergen technology is a special coating that<br />
captures and neutralizes pollen, making it<br />
much easier for allergy sufferers to live<br />
comfortably. This technology is applied to<br />
Louvolite’s Carnival range, so with plenty of<br />
colours to choose from, you don't have to<br />
compromise on style.<br />
Durability<br />
Roller blinds are also known for their<br />
durability. They are low-maintenance and<br />
easy to operate, making them ideal for hightraffic<br />
areas. Plus, they are a great option for<br />
homes with children and pets as they are<br />
less likely to become damaged as they can<br />
be raised out of reach during the daytime.<br />
Some great fabric choices for children’s<br />
rooms would be Louvolite’s Planetarium,<br />
Dinosaurs and ABC.<br />
As a window blind supplier, offering<br />
products that are on-trend, durable and<br />
stylish is of paramount importance.<br />
Louvolite roller fabrics tick all the boxes in<br />
that regard. The diverse range of shades and<br />
fabrics, the benefits of textured laminate<br />
fabric, as well as being able to impress<br />
friends with a range of unique designs,<br />
colours and special coatings make it clear<br />
that roller blinds are an excellent product to<br />
consider offering to your customers. By<br />
investing in high-quality fabrics, you can take<br />
advantage of the latest trends in the home<br />
decor industry and grow your business<br />
accordingly.<br />
