What are the best blinds for bathroom windows?

If you have a smaller room or one that suffers a lot with damp and excessive humidity then getting the right blind is very important. If you choose a blind that is not waterproof or water resistant, then you could see your blind deteriorate or become moldy and discolored in a short space of time. This is why it is crucial that you choose the correct blinds for your bathroom. With made to measure blinds and selecting the correct blinds for your bathroom you don’t have to worry about the fabric deteriorating waterproof fabrics and moisture resistant materials are the best options for bathrooms.

 

  1. Vertical blinds

Vertical blinds are rising in popularity, they have excellent control over the light. With a simple twist at the cord on the side of the blind operates the slats to tilt to whatever angle you require. This is ideal for giving you light when you need it, or close the slats for privacy.

If vertical blinds is what you are after then there are two options to choose from. The Splash range or the Unilux range.

The splash range are a moisture resistant material which means that they can stand up to humidity and condensation that will build up in a room. This moisture resistant material are suitable for bathrooms with a bit of dampness such as when you wipe them clean or get a little splash on them. However, it is important to note that anything more and the fabric will start to deteriorate. In 90% of bathrooms, these moisture resistant fabric are ideal for windows that is away from the bath or shower such as above the sink.

 

If however, your blinds will be in direct contact with water or excessive humidity then you would need to get 100% waterproof blinds. The Unilux range is the most suited for bathroom windows. The unilux material is made from a PVC material which makes them fully waterproof. The Unilux range is designed to get soaking wet without any deterioration in the material.

The vertical blinds have a wide range of colours to enhance and change the look of your bathroom. Ranging from bright pinks to dark colours such as black. Additionally, we have a range of neutral colours such as creams and whites to go with any interiors or decorations.

2. Roller blinds

If the vertical blinds are not to your liking have no fear. The materials from the vertical blinds can be made into roller blinds. With made to measure blinds and high quality fabrics these blinds are built custom made to you and will be perfect for bathroom blinds as well as any rooms in your house.

The splash range is made from a dim-out material this means that it allows some light to pass through the fabric to allow light to enter the room when the blinds are down. However, if you were after blinds that are waterproof and block out all the light then the Unilux range is the best option because they are a 100% waterproof and a blackout material.

 

There are also other options to bathroom blinds. Venetian blinds are also a popular blind for bathroom windows.

 

3. Faux Wooden Venetian Blinds

 

Faux Wood are made from high quality PVC. This means that they are a moisture resistant material and therefore, can be installed in bathrooms without worry about humidity, water damage or bowing. The faux wooden blinds can be installed with or without tape, however, if your tapes will be in direct contact with water then we highly recommend to go for the without tape option. Both with and without tape helps to match your bathroom with darker or wooden themed bathrooms. Additionally, by tilting the slats can control how much light enters the room. The faux wooden blinds can be ordered in 35mm or 50mm slats. The 50mm slats are more popular than 35mm as the 35mm may give the illusion of being clustered due to the amount of slats on the blind. The reason why the 50mm slats are more popular is because when tilted the slats are opened and  allow more light to pass through compared to the 35mm slats.

 

4. Aluminium Venetian Blinds

 

The aluminium slats can deal with getting wet and the ever changing humidity making these perfect for the bathrooms. The coated slats mean that they won’t rust or deteriorate over time. Additionally, these blinds are venetian which means that you can control the slats to control how much light enters your room or closed shut for privacy.
