You’re here because you’re looking for the best blinds to stop glare… Well don’t fret, we’ve got you covered!
While we all welcome the natural light into our homes with open arms, glare is something we just can’t get on board with! It gets in your eyes, reflects off your phone, off your tv and off your computer screen. It’s far from ideal, and it can cause us some real discomfort too. So, let us help you with that.
To be quite frank, all blinds stop glare. Close your blinds and voilà, the glare is gone. But we know that you need your blinds to do more than this. You want to stop the glare but maintain the daylight and the view. If you’re lucky enough to have one that is! You’re not asking too much, and we certainly have the solution.
We’ve picked out our top styles that do a commendable job of achieving the right balance for you. Have a read of our recommendations on the best blinds to reduce glare…
Venetian Blinds to Stop Glare
Venetians are one of our top picks for the best blinds to stop glare. They offer excellent levels of light and privacy control; with many variations when it comes to positioning them. This is ideal because the sun moves around your home which means the glare will move too! So, with Venetian blinds, you’re able to adjust the slats in accordance with the sunlight. You can also raise them completely to enjoy the daylight or close the slats for total privacy.
Not only are Venetian’s one of the best blinds to stop glare, but they’re one of our most popular styles for design too. Venetian Blinds are available in aluminium, wood, and faux wood. As well as colours ranging from whites and greys to reds and blacks. We have a Venetian blind to suit every décor and budget.
Vertical Blinds to Stop Glare
Large windows and patio doors are fabulous additions to a home but are renowned for causing glare and (sometimes) too much light! In this instance, Verticals are a great choice of blinds to stop glare from large windows.
Vertical blinds offer beautiful floor-to-ceiling shading thanks to their vertical slats and therefore cover a larger window or door brilliantly. These slats gently filter the light and can be adjusted accordingly with the sun’s rays. They’ll allow you to sit, work, or relax comfortably – without glare!
A traditional yet modern choice, vertical blinds are not just great blinds to prevent glare, they also come in a wide range of designs and fabrics. You’ll choose from hundreds of colours as well as different fabric coatings from blackout, solar protective, moisture resistant and more!
Vision Blinds to Stop Glare
Think Venetian and vertical blinds, then think roller blinds… Vision blinds cleverly combine the simplicity of a roller with the light and privacy control of a Venetian and vertical blind. Perfect, some might say! Vision Blinds (also known as Day and Night Blinds or Zebra Blinds) are relatively new blinds with an innovative design. They’re another of our best blinds to stop glare.
Made up of two overlapping striped fabric layers which glide over each other to create various ‘slats’ at the window. They offer a very similar concept to the previous two styles we mentioned, but slightly more of a modern look. You can choose the translucent stripe option to filter the sunlight’s glare and adjust to the opaque position when you want to block the light completely.
Vision blinds provide gentle light filtration and full light block-out, as well as an extra thermal benefit over vertical and Venetian blinds – given there are no ‘gaps’ between the slats.
They are fantastic blinds to stop the glare and are perfect for a modern home.
Sheer Roller Blinds to Prevent Glare
If you’re looking for more of a minimal blind to stop glare at your windows, a sheer roller blind could be for you. Sheer roller blinds take the edge off the full rays of the sun by adding a fabric layer between the window and your home. The sheer fabric still lets in tons of light too!
However, if it’s a bedroom window you’re looking to cover, you’ll likely need complete darkness during the night. This can be achieved by layering your blinds!
Your sheer roller blind would sit against your window, followed by a blackout or dimout roller blind on the outside. Use your sheer blind to reduce glare in the day and use your blackout or dimout blind whilst you’re sleeping!
