Features of roller blinds

Mount light-tight curtain blinds to the wall above the window opening, inside it or directly on the window itself. In any of these variants, the opening is completely closed by the curtain due to the presence of lateral guides in it.

Since the structure of the curtains is monolithic, various deformations of them are excluded, even in the case of hitting between the leaflets of the window. In addition, the monolithic structure creates a kind of air cushion between the curtain and the window, which reduces the penetration of cold and noise into the room.

The light-tightness of the fabric can be divided into three types: completely transparent, translucent and completely opaque, which makes it possible to solve the problems of dimming the room in different ways.
