Blinds are the necessity of every household. It is undeniable that blinds are needed for several purposes in various locations. With blinds becoming so much in demand, but sometimes leading to obstruction of sunlight into the home when needed, there came in roller blinds. They are also known as double roller blinds, which are exactly as the name suggests, double layered roller blinds.

These blinds not only look stylish on your windows, but also make your lives a lot more comfortable. To clarify the answer to the question what roller blinds are, I have just one line - they are double blinds mounted on the same mechanism. This means that there are 2 blinds on a single window and both blinds are on the same mechanism but each has their own pull chain and can be used separately. Each of the 2 blinds have different functionality - one blind is a blind that serves as a block-out and the other blind serves as a sunscreen blind.
The reason most people choose such type of blinds is that they allow you to pick full or partial block out, or let in natural light, depending on the weather outside, the time of the day as well as your preferences.
There are several advantages of having roller blinds apart from the functionality mentioned above. All of those are explained below:
- Privacy: These blinds give utmost privacy to any window opening it is attached to. Due to this, offices and homes are being built closer to one another than before. With the sunscreen blind closed, there are no chances of anyone being able to peer into the interiors as the visibility from the outside world is completely blocked. This way, for any home, the privacy of the family is maintained and for any office, there are no prowlers around trying to snoop in for inside information. That is an added benefit of these blinds apart from keeping out the outside weather from entering the interiors.
- Durable: People say that they can also choose curtains to provide privacy. But, I say curtains may provide you privacy until someone tampers with it and damages it or the curtain wears off all by itself after some time. That is why roller blinds are preferable. They are durable as well as long lasting. This makes sure that the blinds keep shielding you from sunlight for a long time with very less maintenance and repair needs. They are highly resistant to wear and tear and fading out due to aging.
- Easy to operate: In spite of having two blinds mounted on a single mechanism, they are still the easiest to operate. There are several options of operating systems available in these. Each person can take his pick based on the preferences. Roller blinds can be spring assisted or operated by a chain drive or can even be fully motorised. In case you have a chain drive or a motorised roller blind, you can even link a number of blinds together and enable yourself to open and close multiple blinds at once. Could there be something more convenient that this? Also, if all these mechanisms do not interest you, you can always choose to operate them manually.
- Flexible: Another added benefit of roller blinds is that they are highly flexible in the type of fabric you pick. You can choose any kind of fabric with any kind of colour and design according to your preference and that not only shields you against sunlight, but also gives you an aesthetic appeal of superior level to your property.
