How Private Is Your Home This Summer?

The summer months are the most anticipated of the year! The sun is out, the kids are off school and that feeling of stepping off a plane and onto a hot sunny beach with an ice-cold drink is closer than ever! Summer allows us to spend more time outside the same four walls. Whilst this is great - how much are you protecting what is inside?

The Metropolitan Police state that most residential burglaries are opportunistic, and burglars will tend to target houses with valuables. Now think back to your home - when you are out, is your 60-inch TV on show? Can you see the gaming consoles on the unit? What about your mobile in the kitchen? Just having a blind that restricts the view can deter burglars from attempting to break into your home.

When choosing blinds for privacy, you may want to consider those made with thicker materials or have a blackout feature. There are several types of blinds that are designed to offer enhanced privacy. Here are a few options:

Roller Blinds:

Roller blinds are a popular choice for privacy. They consist of a single piece of fabric that roll up or down to cover the window. When fully closed, roller blinds provide a high level of privacy.

Roman Shades:

Roman shades are fabric window coverings that stack up evenly when raised and fold neatly when lowered. They can be made with various opacities, including blackout linings, to provide privacy.

Allusion® Blinds:

Providing both subtle light diffusion and total privacy. Open the blind fully for an uninterrupted view during the daytime, or slide the vanes across the window with the louvres rotated for a bit more privacy.

Vertical Blinds:

Vertical blinds are commonly used for large windows or sliding glass doors. They feature vertical slats that can be tilted to control light and privacy. When closed, they provide privacy from outside observers.
