<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>

<h3>Benefits</h3>
<p>There are a few reasons to choose blinds over shutters for your new home.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/style-hub/how-much-do-indoor-blinds-cost">Blinds are generally </a><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/style-hub/how-much-do-indoor-blinds-cost">more affordable</a> and have a wider range of colour and fabric options. If you want more freedom in creating the perfect home decor, blinds are definitely the better option. </p>

<p>Unlike shutters which require manual operation, window coverings such as roller blinds, vision and Roman blinds also have the option for motorisation, either as part of the <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/motorised-blinds">SmartHub system</a> or <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/eve-motionblinds">Eve MotionBlinds</a>.</p>

<p>Motorised blinds give your home more security in that they can be programmed to open and close when you're not home, making it seem like someone is there. Eve MotionBlinds can also be controlled using your smartphone, meaning that you no longer have to move from the comfort of the couch to close the blinds at night.</p>

<h2>Indoor shutters</h2>
<h3>Types of indoor shutters</h3>
<ol>
    <li>Standard: <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/indoor-shutters/aluminium">Aluminium shutters</a>, <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/indoor-shutters/basswood">Basswood shutters</a>, <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/indoor-shutters/wooden-and-timber">Wooden shutters </a></li>

</ol>

<h3>Benefits </h3>
<p>The main benefits of choosing shutters is that they have insulating factors to help regulate the temperature of your home, are low maintenance and easy to clean, and the wide, flat louvres give plenty of privacy while maintaining air flow. </p>

<p>Shutters are also a very long lasting window covering due to being made from mainly timber or aluminium. These make them a worthwhile investment as you're not going to need to replace them as often.</p>

<h3>Do blinds and shutters pair well with curtains?</h3>

<p>Both blinds and shutters can be paired with curtains! Curtains are a popular option to pair with blinds as they help to provide additional privacy and can either be used for further blackout, or for softening the incoming light. </p>

<p>When pairing blinds or shutters with curtains, the main thing to consider is being able to easily access both window coverings without the other getting in the way. </p>

<p>Both <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/style-hub/the-best-blinds-for-sliding-glass-doors">blinds and shutters can be used for sliding doors</a>, however there are more blind options to choose from. </p>

<p>The best blinds for sliding doors are panel blinds, Vertisheer blinds and vertical blinds as they slide along a track at the top of the door frame and can be easily moved out of the way.</p>

<p>If you're wanting a shutter, choose <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/indoor-shutters/sliding-door-shutters">sliding shutters</a> as they're designed to operate this way. Standard and plantation shutters are much better for windows.</p>

Blinds vs Shutters: Which Are Best?

<h2>What are Windmaster blinds?</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/windmaster-blinds">Windmaster blinds</a> are an <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/style-hub/your-guide-to-outdoor-blinds">outdoor window furnishing</a> that's designed right here in Perth to combat the strong winds we often experience. </p>

<p>Rather than standard outdoor blinds and awnings which often don't cope as well, Windmaster blinds are built with heavy-duty base rails to reduce fabric movement from strong wind gusts.</p>

<h2>Benefits of Windmaster outdoor blinds</h2>
<p>There are many reasons to choose Windmaster blinds, other than just for their wind resistance!</p>

<h3>Reduce heat in your home</h3>
<p>These blinds can reduce up to 94% of the heat in your home. Not only will this make your house much more comfortable during the summer months, it will also help you save money on your cooling bills.</p>

<h3>Customisable </h3>
<p>Choose from up to 20 premium powder coated colours to complete the look of your outdoor area.</p>

<p>There is also the option of having manual or motorised controls.</p>

<h3>Creates an outdoor room</h3>
<p>Doing an extension on your house can be a costly and intricate renovation to undertake. Instead, consider using Windmaster blinds to create an outdoor room.</p>

<p>As these blinds extend from ground to ceiling, they seal all openings to create an enclosed entertaining area. </p>

<p>This area can be used all year round, and will provide comfort from weather and any insects. </p>

<h3>Can be motorised </h3>
<p>Windmaster outdoor blinds have two options when it comes to how they are raised and lowered. You can either choose to have manual control, or to pair them with ABC&apos;s <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/motorised-blinds">Smart Hub Motorisation</a>. </p>

<p>Smart Hub can connect and motorise up to 20 sets of blinds throughout your home with one central device.</p>

<p>Visit the <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/windmaster-blinds/motorised">Motorised Windmaster blinds</a> page to find out more.</p>

<h3>Added security </h3>
<p>Add safety to your home with a durable option like Windmaster blinds. These blinds have added strength, making them harder to penetrate, and the base is much heavier to move.</p>


<h2>Benefits of Windmaster blinds over outdoor awnings</h2>
<p>While there are plenty of benefits to other outdoor window coverings, most aren't sturdy enough to withstand Perth's strong winds. Not only are they resilient against the elements, they also have a two-year warranty, so you know they're made to last.</p>

<h2>Are Windmaster outdoor blinds waterproof?</h2>
<p>As Windmaster blinds are an outdoor window covering, they do have a higher tolerance to water than other blinds.</p>

<p>However, after a heavy downpour, it's always good practice to dry off your fabric and frame as best as possible to avoid any moisture build-up. </p>

<h2>How to clean Windmaster blinds</h2>
<p>Cleaning your blinds should be done regularly as this helps them to maintain their effectiveness and to look newer for longer.</p>

<p>To clean, start by hosing down the fabric. Use enough water so that it's damp, but you don't want it to be dripping wet. Then, take a cleaning cloth and wipe them over. If you need something to cut through any grime, add a little bit of detergent. </p>

<p>When it comes to finding the right camper curtains or blinds, it's essential to think about the function you want them to perform. Do you want more light, more privacy? Or do you simply want a window treatment that's not going to take up too much space?</p>
<p>Let's get into our top recommendations for caravan blinds. </p>

<h2>Best caravan blinds</h2>
<h3>Venetian blinds</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/venetian-blinds">Venetian blinds</a> are a popular caravan blind option due to their affordability and versatility. Once installed in your caravan or campervan, these blinds allow you to control levels of light and privacy easily. All you need to do is simply tilt the slats.</p>
<p>To avoid cluttering the small living space in your camper or caravan, choose <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/venetian-blinds/style-slimline">slimline Venetians</a>. The slimline profile makes them a good choice for a caravan's narrow window recesses. These blinds are also available in a huge range of colours, so you can easily choose something to suit the van's décor.</p>
<p><strong>Tip:</strong> Hold-down clips (secured at the bottom rail with small brackets) are a must. This will stop your caravan Venetian blinds from banging and clanging against your windows while you're driving.</p>

<h3>Roller blinds</h3>
<p>When it comes to clutter-free decorating in your caravan or camper, you can't go past classic <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/roller-blinds">roller blinds</a>. Caravan roller blinds have a very stylish and minimalist design, allowing the fabric to be completely rolled up into a tube at the top of the window frame.</p>
<p>This design gives you a completely unobstructed view when you want it, and privacy when you need it. Gorgeous view with no one in sight? Roll your blinds up and enjoy the scenery. Alternatively, if the campsite is busy, roll the blinds down for privacy.</p>
<p>Choose your caravan roller blinds in fabrics such as <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/roller-blinds/sunscreen">sunscreen</a> or <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/roller-blinds/blockout">blockout</a>, both available in a <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/style-hub/the-abc-guide-to-custom-roller-blinds">range of different colours</a>. Like all our products, we also custom make to whatever size you need, meaning we can easily make smaller sized roller blinds for caravans.</p>

<h2>Best caravan curtains</h2>
<p>Curtains are a popular choice when it comes to fitting out a caravan or campervan, as they're super practical in a smaller space and don't need to be secured in place while you're on the road.</p>
<p>Caravan curtains can be installed and operated on a small track or even just on a simple rod. Then, all you need is a DIY tieback to keep your caravan curtains out the way when you want to enjoy the view or let some light in.</p>

<h3>Blockout curtains (privacy curtains)</h3>
<p>These curtains are great for blocking out most of the outside light, they help provide insulation and they offer privacy whenever required.</p>
<p>The downside of <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/curtains/feature-blockout">blockout curtains</a> is that it's hard to enjoy privacy and light at the same time (sheer curtains are better for this).</p>

<h3>Sheer curtains</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/curtains/material-sheer">Sheer curtains</a> provide a good amount of privacy and let in a lot of natural light. However, they are not a great option for night time as they don't give you as much privacy or blockout for sleeping in.</p>

<h2>Frequently asked questions about caravan blinds and curtains</h2>
<h3>Should caravan blinds be up or down when travelling?</h3>
<p>It's best practice to keep your caravan blinds up when travelling. This gives you a clear view through your windows and ensures your safety on the road. Plus, it also prevents damage to the blinds or curtains.</p>

<h3>Can you replace caravan blinds?</h3>
<p>Replacing caravan blinds is just like replacing any other window covering you'd have in your home. </p>

<h3>How to clean caravan blinds</h3>
<p>Cleaning your blinds should be a part of your regular cleaning routine as this makes it much simpler to keep them looking new and last longer. </p>
<p>The best thing you can do is to frequently dust your blinds or curtains using a feather duster, or for slatted blinds, try using a clean sock on your hand and running it over each individual slat. This allows you to reach all the hard to get to areas. </p>
<p>If your blinds or curtains get a mark on them, make sure to clean as soon as you notice it. The best way to do this is by dabbing the area with a cloth dampened with warm, soapy water.</p>

<h2>What are made to measure blinds?</h2>
<p>Made to measure blinds are simply a custom order blind that's produced specifically to the measurements of your windows.</p>

<p>There are many reasons to choose a made to measure blind over buying a ready-made blind. Let's get into some of the benefits!</p>

<h2>Benefits of choosing made to order blinds </h2>

<h3>Custom made blinds are made to be a perfect fit</h3>
<p>Just like clothing, 'off the shelf' blinds generally come in standard sizes. The issue with that is that there are often no 'standard' window sizes!</p>
<p>Buying off the shelf means there will almost certainly be some extra work involved to get those blinds to fit perfectly. Made to measure blinds, on the other hand, are custom made to suit your specific window measurements, so you'll know your new blinds will fit like a glove.</p>

<h3>Can be designed to match your home decor </h3>
<p>When it comes to custom blinds, the sky's the limit! Rather than being limited to a small selection of fabrics and colours, made to measure blinds are available in a huge variety of styles and shades.</p>

<p>Come into one of our showrooms to view all of the options up close or order free samples of your new blinds <a href="https://www.abcblindsonline.com.au/">online</a>. This way, you can guarantee that you'll love the finished product and that it'll blend in seamlessly with your existing interior décor.</p>

<h3>All the hard work is done for you</h3>
<p>When you request a <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/booking">free measure and quote</a> at home, a trained ABC Blinds consultant will come directly to your door. Once they arrive, they'll assess your space and give you the right advice.</p>
<p>Rather than having to scroll through endless pages searching for answers, you'll receive a customised experience from an experienced and knowledgeable consultant who will help you make the right decision, especially when it comes to measuring blinds.</p>

<h3>You can customise every aspect of the blind</h3>
<p>When you choose custom made to measure blinds, you have much more flexibility in deciding on the exact colour and fabric you're looking for, as well as choosing things like control mechanisms.</p>
<p>There are different control mechanisms for different blinds, including corded, the Securo wand for a more child-safe blind, and <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/eve-motionblinds">motorised</a>.</p>
<p>Our blog on <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/style-hub/operating-systems-for-your-roller-blinds">operating systems for Roller blinds</a> can give you more information on different control options.</p>

<h3>Expert advice on your blinds</h3>
<p>At ABC Blinds, we have a number of showrooms located both in Perth and around Western Australia. When you visit a showroom, an expert consultant is always on hand to chat and offer their advice. They can advise you on the factors that can determine which style of blinds will best suit your home. </p>
<p>They'll also ask important questions, like whether you're in a rental property or in your own home and if there are any particular issues (like heat or privacy) that you want to resolve.</p>

<h2>Are made to measure blinds expensive?</h2>
<p>Made to measure blinds can be a little bit more expensive than buying ready-made blinds, however there are a few things to consider when deciding whether the extra cost is worth it.</p>
<p>To start with, you don't need to spend time sorting through ready-made blinds in store to find the size that fits closest to your window measurements. You also might not have all colour options you want with a ready-made blind.</p>
<p>You'll also get the exact size you want, rather than having to compromise on a smaller or larger window covering and having to do extra work to make it fit.</p>

<h3>Order and wait for them to arrive</h3>
<p>Waiting is the hardest part, but there are a few things you can do to distract yourself and to get ready for when they do arrive!</p>
<ol>
    <li>
        <p><b>Plan how you're going to dispose of your existing blinds.</b></p>
        <p>Are your blinds worn out beyond repair and need to be thrown away, or are you upgrading window coverings that still have some life in them? </p>

    <li>
        <p><b>Declutter your space</b></p>
        <p>Upgrading your window coverings is going to bring new life into your space, and what better way to enjoy your newly revitalised space than by decluttering what you no longer use, need, or want!</p>
        <p>The simplest way to declutter your space is to create three piles. Have one pile for what you want to keep, the second for what can be recycled or rehomed, and the third for any rubbish. </p>

    </li>
    
    <li>
        <p><b>Buy any other decor for your space</b></p>
        <p>If you're doing a complete upgrade to your space, chances are you're upgrading your decor as well, to make it all work seamlessly together. </p>
        <p>Updating your decor can be as simple or as complex as you like. From little changes like new cushions, rugs, or blankets, to bigger purchases like brand new furniture. Buying these things while you wait can help you have everything you need for your new room, as well as to have a bit of fun shopping. </p>
