Why is choosing the correct kitchen roller blind so important?
At Broadview Blinds, we are your local experts in high-quality, stylish, modern roller blinds, stocking a plethora of options as part of our comprehensive range of blinds. When choosing blinds for your kitchen, there are extra considerations to make compared with choosing a bedroom or bathroom blind. For example, it’s important that a blind is specialised to best deal with the unique kitchen environment.
Due to their ease of use, material properties, ease of installation and cost-effectiveness, roller blinds are considered the ideal choice for kitchens. Broadview are the leading local installer of made-to-measure roller blinds – read on to find out more about how our roller blinds are the best choice for your kitchen.
Water and Fire Resistance
Water and fire resistance is of absolute paramount importance within the kitchen, as a lack of these qualities could lead to a myriad of problems. Fire resistance may seem more obvious, as close proximity to kitchen appliances such as gas hobs, frying pans and ovens means anything less than fire resistance could be dangerous, and could exacerbate any issues if they do appear.
Thankfully, there are many ways of creating fire retardant materials – it is legislated in British law that all blinds in public buildings must be treated with such fire resistant substances to be legal, and it’s a really good idea to ensure the blinds in your home’s kitchen are the same. Water resistance is important for ensuring that damp and mould do not build up within your kitchen. A lack of water resistance could lead to your blind being particularly susceptible, and could go as far as impacting the health of the home’s occupants.
Cordless and Child Safe
Broadview stocks a range of innovative, modern, cordless roller blinds, that are designed to be fully integrated with the 21st century kitchen – use your mobile phone, smart speaker or remote control to raise or lower the blind from a distance.
As the kitchen is a family home, it’s extremely important that occupants consider whether children can access harmful or dangerous items. With no cord, there is nothing for children to be able to reach out and grab, removing the danger associated with children getting caught up in cables.
Our automated Louvolite Electric Roller Blinds are the ideal choice, providing style and safety in one package.
