Melton homeowners commonly look for comfort, privacy and energy efficiency – especially in their bedrooms where the most important thing is sleep quality and comfort. Blackout roller blinds are simple yet effective: for very little input, they can improve your sleep, bring a room together and control the temperature.
At Uniblinds, we offer a range of roller blinds in Melton. We professionally measure for and fit roller blinds regularly and would love to demonstrate their key benefits to you through this article. Blackout roller blinds can improve your rest and lower your energy bills. What’s not to love?
What are Blackout Roller Blinds?
Standard roller blinds just don’t bring the sleep-improving qualities that blackouts can. With their thicker fabric, light-blocking backing materials and a tighter fit within your window frames, blackout roller blinds are designed to completely block outdoor lighting when they are fully closed.
The sleek and modern design of blackouts suits the interior style of most bedrooms, but it is far more than just their design that makes them perfect for Melton’s sleep.
Sleep Quality and Comfort Benefits
Melatonin is a hormone produced in the brain that helps to regulate your cycle of sleeping and wakefulness. It increases at night as light levels decrease, signalling to your brain that it’s time to rest.
But in the modern world, light exposure from streetlights, passing cars or even early-morning sun can suppress your melatonin production and prevent you getting the restful sleep you crave. Over time, reduced melatonin levels can lead to fatigue, irritability and a reduction in focus.
Blackout blinds create complete darkness in your bedroom, mimicking the ideal conditions for sleep. This makes them perfect for babies and young children who are easily affected by light, night-shift workers who need to sleep during the day and those who remain affected by light sensitivity into adulthood. They can also help you to create a calm and private sanctuary, the ideal space to wind down at the end of the day.
Energy Efficiency Benefits
Aside from the perk of blocking out all the external light, blackout roller blinds with their thick fabric and tight coverage of the window provide an extra layer of insulation to a room. In the changing climate of Melton, this can help keep homes cooler in the summer (by blocking out heat and ultraviolet rays) and warmer in the winter (by reducing heat loss through the glass.)
These small benefits add up to reductions in your energy bills, something we can all be grateful of these days. They also contribute to having a more comfortable home environment all year round. The quality materials and exceptional installation from Uniblinds maximise this benefit and could bring you real financial rewards.
Improved Privacy and Light Control
In the bedroom, it’s only natural to want both privacy and flexibility. While there are times when you don’t want anyone to see inside, there are other times you’d like to filter a little light without blocking it all.
Blackout roller blinds prevent all visibility from the outside, making them ideal for ground-floor and street facing rooms with passing foot or road traffic. You may also enjoy them in bedrooms that trap the sun in the evening, as the heat of the sun won’t be able to penetrate the space. The adjustable nature of our blackouts allows you to control how much light enters your room during the day, while allowing that full blackout effect at night for maximum restfulness.
We can also offer an optional dual system. Pairing your blackout blinds with sheer roller blinds can allow for daytime light filtering and increased privacy without the intense blocking effect of blackout blinds during the day.
Aesthetics and Space Savings
Roller blinds are sleek and minimal in design, meaning they suit modern Melton homes and apartments perfectly. They sit flush with your windows so don’t give the cluttered look that bulky curtains can sometimes bring to a room.
Our roller blinds, both blackout and standard, come in a wide range of colours and finishes which can complement your bedroom decor beautifully. Choosing functionality does not mean forgoing style and individuality. You can even combine your blinds with pelmets for a polished finish to your interior.
The custom manufacturing from Uniblinds ensures that your roller blinds will fit your windows perfectly and add cohesion to your home’s interior design.
Maintenance and Durability
Roller blinds are simple to operate, making them the ideal solution in a busy household where time and convenience are of the utmost importance. There’s no fuss in a roller blind, and neither is there unnecessarily complex cleaning. A simple wipe down keeps them clean, sanitary and looking as fresh as the day they were fitted.
Blackout fabrics are durable, and their very design means that they withstand fade from regular exposure to the sun’s rays. These roller blinds will last for years, maintaining the highest levels of privacy and sleep quality for as long as they are fitted.
The professionally installed mechanisms of Uniblinds’ roller blinds ensure that they will operate smoothly for years to come, upholding their quality even after repeated use.
