<p>In this article, we'll explain what  <a href="/tricoshade-blinds">Tricoshade Blinds</a> are, their key features and benefits that make them so popular with both home and business owners, and their ideal home and business uses.</p>

<h2>What are Tricoshade Blinds?</h2>
<p>Tricoshade Blinds combine a <a href="/roller-blinds">compact roller blind</a> with alternating sheer fabric and dim-out panels to soften incoming light and/or adjust privacy levels. You can simply adjust the angle of the horizontal blades to adjust both the amount of light passing through and your level of privacy.</p>
<p>They are the most effective way of blocking external light (such as sunlight) from entering your home or business space besides having heavily lined curtains.</p>
<p>Tricoshade Blinds provide you with the best of both worlds: the sleek and stylish look of horizontal shutter blades along with the versatility and ease of use of a Roller Blind.</p>

<h2>Key Features and Benefits of Tricoshade Blinds</h2>

<p><strong>Light Control and Privacy:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The sheer fabric in Tricoshade Blinds softens natural light and harmful UV rays, while their dim-out panels provide room-darkening options. They minimise TV and computer screen glare, as well as enhancing the privacy or view of any room.</li>
<li>Tricoshade Blinds filter natural light effectively, enabling diffused light to enter a room rather than the harsh glare of sunlight. This diffused light creates a naturally bright and inviting atmosphere.</li>
<li>Significantly, Tricoshade Blinds enable a degree of internal privacy without sacrificing visibility within a room. They still allow external light to pass through them however, they prevent outsiders from seeing through them.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Energy Efficiency:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Tricoshade Blinds have a pleated three-cell design that enables them to provide superior room insulation. They reduce the amount of heat entering through windows where they are installed, which in turn helps to reduce air conditioning costs. This makes them a very energy-efficient window covering solution.</li>
<li>Given Perth's often harsh climate and the high cost of energy, Tricoshade Blinds can result in significant cost savings for Perth homeowners and businesses. In fact, <a href="https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/energy-efficient-window-coverings" target="_blank">studies show that 60% of unwanted internal heat generated by windows can be reduced by having effective window coverings</a>.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Versatile Operation:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Tricoshade Blinds are both versatile and easy to use, maintain and keep clean. You can choose Tricoshade Blinds with a child-safe manual chain operation or a convenient push-button motorised option that is ideal for installations in hard-to-reach spaces.</li>
<li>Either option enables the Tricoshade privacy control blinds to be easily rolled up or down to suit different needs or times of day.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Durability and Style:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> The durable, high-quality components of Tricoshade Blinds ensure their long-term, hassle-free use.</li>
<li> Three stylish and classic Tricoshade Blind colours are available to complement the look and feel of any home or business space.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Ideal Applications</h2>
<p>Tricoshade Blinds have ideal applications in both residential spaces and commercial environments in Perth.</p>

<p><strong>Residential Spaces:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Bedrooms, living rooms, media rooms and home offices where light control and privacy are important are the best spots to install Tricoshade Blinds.</li>
<li>In bedrooms, Tricoshade light control blinds can help to ensure privacy and a great night's sleep. In living rooms, media rooms and home offices, their room-darkening capability helps to ensure an optimal viewing experience for TVs, computers and other screens.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Commercial Environments:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Business spaces requiring both functional and stylish roller blinds with room-darkening capabilities as window coverings will find Tricoshade Blinds to be a great solution.</li>
<li>For example, businesses with street-facing windows, businesses with individual or open-plan offices where computers are located near windows, or business meeting rooms with audio-visual facilities and screens that require optimal viewing conditions to be readily available.</li>

</ul>

Spotlight on: Tricoshade Blinds

<h2>Types of Light Filtering and Privacy Blinds</h2>
<h3>Tricoshade Blinds</h3>
<h4>How They Work</h4>
How They Work: Tricoshade blinds are designed with horizontal vanes that can be adjusted to control both light and privacy levels. They have the sleek look of shutters with the versatility of roller blinds. Their unique three-cell structure also provides <strong>superior home insulation</strong> to ensure your home is cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
<img src="/images/blog/media/grey-tricoshade-in-the-living-room.jpg" alt="Grey Tricoshade Blinds" />
<h4>Benefits</h4>
<ul>
<li>Tricoshade blinds provide excellent UV protection. Simply adjust the vanes to direct sunlight away and the amount of light passing through.</li>
<li>They are energy-efficient, which reduces home heating and cooling costs.</li>
<li>They offer three different light control settings (sheer, dim-out or full coverage).</li>
</ul>

<h4>Disadvantages</h4>
<ul>
<li>Tricoshade blinds are slightly more expensive than standard blinds.</li>
<li>They have limited colour options compared to other types of privacy and light filtering blinds.</li>
</ul>

<h4>Best For</h4>
<ul>
<li>Bedrooms (they can minimise light to facilitate better sleep).</li>
<li>Living rooms (they can reduce glare on screens).</li>
<li>Home offices (they can soften natural light while maintaining privacy).</li>
</ul>

<h3>Vision Blinds (Zebra Blinds)</h3>
<h4>How They Work</h4>
<p><a href="/vision-blinds">Vision blinds</a> have alternating sheer and opaque fabric stripes (which is why they are also known as Zebra Blinds or Day and Night Blinds). These alternating stripes slide past each other, allowing for plenty of light control while also maintaining a view. </p>
<img src="/images/blog/media/black-zebra-blinds.jpg" alt="Black Zebra Blinds" />
<h4>Benefits</h4>
<ul>
<li>Vision blinds provide adjustable privacy and light filtering.</li>
<li>They are a sleek and modern aesthetic to any interior home design. </li>
<li>They allow natural light while reducing glare.</li>
</ul>

<h4>Disadvantages</h4>
<ul>
<li>Vision blinds do not have full blackout capacity.</li>
</ul>

<h4>Best For</h4>
<ul><li>Dining rooms.</li>
<li>Home offices.</li>
<li>Open-plan living spaces.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Double Roller Blinds</h3>

<h4>How They Work</h4>
<p>
<a href="/roller-blinds/double-roller-blinds">Double roller blinds</a> are two blinds in one—one sheer layer for daylight filtering and a blockout layer for full privacy. 
Each layer can be independently controlled, allowing you to have the best of both worlds. Simply roll the sheer (translucent layer down to enjoy the outside view while maintaining your privacy during the day, or roll the block out layer down to achieve room darkening.</p>

<img src="/images/blog/media/aero-double-roller-blinds-in-the-living-room.jpg" alt="Double Roller Blinds" />
<h4>Benefits</h4>
<ul>
<li>Double roller blinds provide complete flexibility for day and night light control.
</li>
<li>They are great for insulating against both heat and cold at different times of year.</li>
<li>They are available in a wide range of fabrics and colours.</li>
</ul>

<h4>Disadvantages</h4>
<ul>
<li>Double roller blinds require more space for their installation.
</li>
<li>They can be slightly more expensive blinds due to the dual-layer system.</li>
</ul>

<h4>Best For</h4>
<ul><li>Bedrooms</li>
<li>Media rooms (they can eliminate screen glare).
</li>
<li>Street-facing windows where privacy is a priority. </li>
</ul>

<h2>How to Choose the Right Blinds Based on Your Needs
</h2>
<p>The right type of blind for your home depends on your needs and priorities:</p>
<ul>
<li>For Maximum Privacy: Opt for Double Roller Blinds with a blockout layer.</li>
<li>For Soft Light Filtering: Tricoshade Blinds or Vision Blinds are excellent choices.</li>
<li>For Energy Efficiency: Choose Tricoshade Blinds, which help insulate against heat and cold.</li>
<li>For a Stylish, Modern Look: Vision Blinds offer a sleek aesthetic.</li>
</ul>


<h3>Additional Considerations </h3>
<p>Additional considerations beyond your most pressing needs and priorities include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Customisation Options: Different types of blinds will have a different range of colour options and fabric types, and they may have a motorised alternative for enhanced convenience.</li>
<li>Your Budget: Your budget will be an important consideration, but it’s important to balance short-term affordability with long-term benefits.</li>
<li>Installation Factors: When buying any blinds, look for a supplier like ABC Blinds that provides expert measuring, quoting and installation services.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>There are a range of light filtering and privacy blinds available to suit the needs of any home. The right type of <a href="/roller-blinds">blinds for your home</a> depends on your specific needs and priorities in terms of privacy, light filtering, style and energy efficiency, as well as the extent of customisation you would like, your budget and installation considerations.</p>

<h2>What are outdoor roller shutters?</h2>
<div class="blog__view__img__box"><img src="/images/blog/media/guide-to-roller-shutters-roller-shutter.jpg" alt="Ultimate guide to roller shutters"></div>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/outdoor-roller-shutters">Roller shutters</a> sit on the outside of your windows, and can be rolled up or down depending on your needs. They're available in many colours, so they can also function as an added decor element, or they can be made to blend in and be less noticeable. </p>

<h2>Outdoor roller shutters versus outdoor shutters</h2>
<p>Roller shutters are different to <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/outdoor-shutters">outdoor shutters</a>, they are one continuous piece of aluminium, designed to provide blockout and added safety.</p>
<p>Outdoor shutters on the other hand are made up of horizontal slats, which can be opened up and angled to allow light to pass through, or to provide blockout when needed. They're not just used as window coverings, they're also a great way to close in an outdoor area.</p>

<h2>Benefits of choosing outdoor roller shutters</h2>
<div class="blog__view__img__box"><img src="/images/blog/media/guide-to-roller-shutters-benefits.jpg" alt="Ultimate guide to roller shutters"></div>

<p>There are a number of benefits as to why you should consider roller shutters for your home!</p>
<p><a href="/indoor-shutters">Installing roller shutters</a> can help you <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/style-hub/how-to-make-your-home-more-secure">feel safer in your home</a>! Made from <strong>durable aluminium</strong>, roller shutters are incredibly <strong>difficult for people to penetrate</strong>, making them an excellent <strong>deterrent for potential burglars</strong>. </p>
<p>Roller shutters <strong>can also reduce your power bills</strong> as they add a <strong>layer of insulation</strong> to your windows. The aluminium helps to form a barrier, keeping warm air inside your home, meaning you can run your heater for a shorter time period. </p>
<p>If you're sensitive to light or like <strong>blockout</strong> <strong>blinds</strong> in your home, roller shutters can add this. When paired with indoor blinds or shutters, the <strong>double layer of blockout</strong> can make a <strong>big</strong> <strong>difference in your sleep quality</strong>. </p>

<h2>Can you put roller shutters on sliding doors?</h2>
<p>Roller shutters are a great option for windows, however they aren't for sliding doors. When they're rolled up they would partially block some of the entranceway.</p>
<p>If you like the idea of having a shutter option for a door, consider <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/indoor-shutters/sliding-door-shutters">sliding door shutters</a> instead!</p>

<h2>Roller shutters vs security screens</h2>
<p>In terms of adding security to your home, roller shutters do a great job at creating a barrier that prevents anyone from trying to break through a window.</p>
<p>However, another option is choosing <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/security-screen-doors-windows">Crimsafe security screens</a>, which can cover doors and windows.</p>
<p>Depending on your budget and preference, both options can give you the peace of mind of adding security to your home. </p>
<div class="blog__view__img__box"><img src="/images/blog/media/guide-to-roller-shutters-security.jpg" alt="Ultimate guide to roller shutters - security"></div>

<h2>Can you paint roller shutters?</h2>
<p>Roller shutters can technically be painted, but they do also come in a variety of colour options to suit your home decor preferences!</p>
<p>Painting the roller shutters may not provide a permanent solution, as it can chip overtime.</p>
<p>You're much better off choosing your desired colour when you order your custom made roller shutters.</p>

<h2>How much do roller shutters cost?</h2>
<p>There are many factors which contribute to the final quote for your home's shutters.</p>
<p>Things like the number of shutters you need, the dimensions of your window and any other customisations can change the price. </p>

<h2>Why choosing the right blinds for wet areas is so important&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Bathrooms and other wet areas are the hardest rooms in your home to choose<a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/style-hub/complete-guide-to-indoor-blinds"><u>&nbsp;indoor blinds</u></a>&nbsp;for, as you need to consider whether it can withstand the humid environment.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Select the wrong window coverings and you&rsquo;ll most likely be met with mould, damage and products not lasting as long as they should.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>What to consider when choosing a bathroom or wet area blind</h2>

<h3>Material</h3>
<p>The best bathroom blinds are typically made of aluminium, synthetic materials like PVC, or acrylic-coated fabrics.</p>
<p>Steer well away from wooden or timber blinds as they absorb moisture, which warps the wood as the grains swell.</p>

<h3>Privacy and light control</h3>
<p>For a bathroom, slatted blinds are the best option as they give you much more privacy without compromising on incoming light.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>What are the <a href="/roller-blinds">best blinds</a> for bathrooms and other wet areas?</h2>

<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/venetian-blinds/aluminium"><u>Aluminium Venetian blinds</u></a>&nbsp;are perfect for bathrooms and other wet areas, as any water will just sit on top of it, or will roll straight off.&nbsp;</p>
<p>These blinds also have thin slats, meaning that you&rsquo;ll maintain plenty of privacy without giving up any natural lighting. For an even thinner slat, consider&nbsp;<a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/venetian-blinds/style-slimline"><u>Slimline Aluminium Venetians</u></a>.</p>

Best Blinds for the Bathroom and Wet Areas

<h2>Why mould grows on blinds</h2>
<p>Mould is an unfortunate occurrence on <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/style-hub/complete-guide-to-indoor-blinds"><u>indoor blinds</u></a>, however there are many ways to prevent it growing in the first place, or to clean it as soon as you notice it. </p>

<p>Mould grows on blinds mostly due to their close proximity to windows. When there's a temperature difference between the inside of the home and the outside glass, water droplets (condensation) builds up, which wets your blinds. </p>

<p>If your blinds aren't dried off, this moist environment creates the perfect home for mould to thrive. </p>

<p>Mould occurs frequently in rooms like your <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/style-hub/best-blinds-for-the-bathroom-and-wet-areas"><u>bathroom or laundry</u></a> due to the humidity from showers or dryers, but can also appear anywhere throughout your home.</p>

<h2>How to remove mould from blinds </h2>
<p>To start the mould removal process, begin by vacuuming over your slats or fabric. You can also use a brush, but ensure the bristles are not too hard so they won't damage the material.</p>

<p>Once the excess mould is removed, you can then go in with a cleaning solution. In most cases, household cleaning products work well and you won't require harsh chemicals.</p>

<p>The most common cleaning option is using vinegar as this kills the mould and helps it to stop coming back.</p>

<p>Wipe the vinegar over the blinds using a cloth, but be careful not to soak the fabric, you want it to be damp, not dripping wet. </p>

<h3>Alternative mould removal options</h3>
<p>If you'd rather use something else other than vinegar, there are options for you.</p>

<p>The first is a mixture of warm water and soap, and the other is water and lemon juice.</p>

<p>Both options should cut through the mould and keep your blinds looking fresh.</p>

<h2>Preventing mould from growing on blinds during winter</h2>

<p>Winter is one of the most common times to see mould occur due to the warmth inside your home and the cold glass from outside, which creates condensation.</p>

<p>The best way to prevent mould on your blinds during winter is to open blinds and curtains, or on days where it's a bit warmer, open your windows up a fraction. </p>

<h3>Aluminium Venetian blinds</h3>

<div class="blog__view__img__box"><img src="/images/blog/media/how-to-remove-mould-aluminium-venetian.jpg" alt="How to remove mould from aluminium venetian blinds"></div>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/venetian-blinds/aluminium"><u>Aluminium Venetian blinds</u></a> are one of the best options for mould prevention due to their durability. Aluminium is water resistant and just rolls off the blinds, whereas fabric can absorb it. </p>

<p>An added bonus of Venetian blinds in your bathroom or laundry is that they are a great blind for providing plenty of privacy without compromising on natural light. </p>

<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/venetian-blinds/timber-look"><u>Timber look Venetian blinds</u></a> are made from a synthetic plastic-type material, making them another great blind for preventing mould. </p>

<p>Timber-look is designed to recreate the natural and earthy feel of real timber blinds, however they are a much more durable option as timber is delicate and the grains can swell when exposed to water. </p>
