Which type of blinds will you choose?

There are many different types of blinds, so if you are still looking for suitable blinds, think carefully about the main reason you are choosing blinds. Would you like outdoor blinds that you can sit comfortably in the shade under? Then opt for a sunshade or awnings. Are you going purely for sun protection? Then consider screens, which keep your house nice and dark and also keep it cool. Ideal for the summer period!

With interior blinds, you can choose between shutters and Venetian blinds. These types of blinds are also often used as window decoration. Roller shutters are both sunproof and burglar-resistant. This is a good option if, for example, you are often on holiday or going away for the weekend.

Size your own blinds

Want to save money by measuring your blinds yourself, but don’t know exactly how to do it? Renoca has scoured the internet and collected the best guides for you!

Marquees

Marquees are easy to measure yourself. Measuring awnings is relatively easy compared to other types of blinds. Renoca has found a clear manual for you that explains how to do this.

Shutters

Taking measurements for shutters is not very difficult either, but it is important to do it accurately. Only this way will you get a beautiful end result.

Awning

There are 2 types of awnings: a drop-down screen and an articulated screen. A drop-down awning ensures that no sun comes inside the house and keeps the temperature cool. An articulated screen is a large screen that you mount – often across its entire width – on the back wall. This allows you to create a lot of shade when the sun shines.

Jalousies

Jalousies come in all shapes and sizes. The slat widths of the blinds affect the measuring. To be sure that your blind will soon fit perfectly, Renoca has an overview of measuring instructions for blinds with different slat widths ready for you.

Mounting customised blinds

You can also choose to do the mounting yourself. However, this is not recommended for all types of blinds. To make sure your blinds are hanging properly and securely fixed without damaging your walls, it is best to have the blinds mounted by a professional. Costs for installation vary from £50 to £300 on average, depending on the type of blinds.
