At ABC Blinds, we know a thing or two about helping West Australians find the perfect window coverings. So let&rsquo;s break down the differences between vision blinds and double roller blinds to help you decide which one is right for you and your lifestyle.
 
<h2>Vision Blinds: The Best of Both Worlds</h2>
 
Vision blinds, also known as &lsquo;day and night blinds&rsquo; or &lsquo;zebra blinds&rsquo;, are a clever and modern window treatment. They have two layers of fabric with horizontal stripes of sheer and opaque. A single chain mechanism allows you to align these stripes to achieve different levels of light filtration and privacy.
 
When the opaque stripes overlap, you get more privacy and less light. When the sheer stripes align, you get softened natural light and an outside view, like a Venetian blind.
 
How They Work: Imagine having a sheer curtain and a blockout blind all in one neat package. Vision blinds work on a continuous loop, so the fabric glides over itself. This unique design gives you precise control over light and privacy by simply adjusting the alignment of the stripes.
 
Light Control &amp; Privacy:
 
<ul>
<li>Daytime: Adjust the sheer sections to let in diffused natural light while maintaining some privacy, preventing direct views into your home.</li>
<li>Night-time: Align the opaque sections for full privacy and less light, like a standard blockout blind.</li>
<li>Versatility: Offers a middle ground between open and fully closed, perfect for rooms where you want flexibility.</li>
</ul>
 
Design Aesthetic: Vision blinds have a sleek, modern and often minimalist look. The striped pattern adds architectural interest, making them a popular choice for contemporary and industrial style homes. They come in a wide range of colours and fabric textures, from neutral to bold.
 
<h2>Double Roller Blinds: Ultimate Versatility &amp; Control</h2>
 
Double roller blinds, as the name suggests, have two independent roller blinds on one bracket. Typically, this setup has a sheer or translucent fabric roller blind at the front and a blockout fabric roller blind at the back. Each blind has its own chain control.
 
This dual system is super versatile; you can switch between different light and privacy settings with ease.
 
How They Work: You have two separate blinds:
 
<ul>
<li>Front Blind: Usually a light-filtering or sheer fabric, perfect for daytime privacy and softening harsh sunlight without blocking it out entirely.</li>
<li>Back Blind: Almost always a blockout fabric, designed to provide complete darkness and maximum privacy when needed.</li>
</ul>
 
Light Control &amp; Privacy:
 
<ul>
<li>Daytime: Lower the front, light-filtering blind to maintain privacy, reduce glare and protect furnishings from UV rays while still getting natural light.</li>
<li>Night-time: Lower the back, blockout blind for complete privacy and darkness, ideal for bedrooms or media rooms.</li>
<li>Total Flexibility: You can have both up, both down or one up and one down, giving you total control over your environment.</li>
</ul>
 
Design Aesthetic: Double roller blinds have a clean, streamlined look that fits into any decor style, from classic to contemporary. Because they are two single roller blinds, they have a neat and uncluttered appearance. They come in a wide range of colours, patterns and fabric finishes so you can match any interior design.
 
<h2>Where Each Blind Fits</h2>
 
<h3>When Vision Blinds are Your Best Bet:</h3>
 
<ul>
<li>Modern &amp; Contemporary Homes: Their striped design matches sleek, minimalist interiors.</li>
<li>Living Areas &amp; Dining Rooms: Perfect for spaces where you want flexible light control throughout the day, to have a view out while maintaining privacy.</li>
<li>Homes with a View: If you have a beautiful garden or city view you want to occasionally filter but not fully obscure, vision blinds give you that perfect balance.</li>
<li>Statement Windows: They can be a subtle design feature themselves, adding texture and interest.</li>
<li>Limited Space: As a single headrail system, they can be more compact than a double roller setup.</li>
</ul>
 
<h3>When Double Roller Blinds are the Way to Go:</h3>
 
<ul>
<li>Bedrooms &amp; Nurseries: The blockout layer is essential for a dark sleeping environment, crucial for good sleep. Also, check out this guide for the <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/style-hub/guide-to-the-best-nursery-blinds">best nursery blinds</a> for your little ones!</li>
<li>Media Rooms &amp; Home Theatres: Get true darkness to enhance your viewing experience and eliminate screen glare.</li>
<li>Shift Workers: If you sleep during the day, the full blockout is a must.</li>
<li>Ultimate Privacy Needs: The blockout layer ensures no one can see in, even at night with lights on inside.</li>
<li>Highly Sun-Exposed Rooms: The dual system provides maximum heat and UV protection during Perth&rsquo;s harsh summers, protecting your furnishings from fading.</li>
<li>Rental Properties: Often a practical choice as they are versatile and can meet various tenant needs.</li>
</ul>

Vision vs Double Roller Blinds: Which is Best? | ABC Blinds

Vision Blinds vs. Double Roller Blinds: Which One is Right for Your Home?

In this article, we&rsquo;ll explain what <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/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.
 
<h2>What are Tricoshade Blinds?</h2>
 
Tricoshade Blinds combine a compact roller blind 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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
<h2>Key Features and Benefits of Tricoshade Blinds</h2>
 
Light Control and Privacy:
 
<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>
 
Energy Efficiency:
 
<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&rsquo;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">studies show that 60% of unwanted internal heat generated by windows can be reduced by having effective window coverings</a>.</li>
</ul>
 
Versatile Operation:
 
<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>
 
Durability and Style:
 
<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>
 
Tricoshade Blinds have ideal applications in both residential spaces and commercial environments in Perth.
 
Residential Spaces:
 
<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&rsquo;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>
 
Commercial Environments:
 
<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

Outdoor awnings come in a diverse range of styles to suit different needs and tastes. They can really transform both the look and functionality of any outdoor space in a home.
 
<h2>Outdoor Awning Styles</h2>
 
A diverse range of outdoor awning styles are available, including:
 
<h3>Auto Awnings</h3>
 
<a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/outdoor-blinds-and-awnings/auto-awnings">Auto awnings</a> can be raised or lowered to any position by sliding the arms on their guard rods. Simply lower the auto awning in summer to reflect up to 70% of the sun&rsquo;s heat, helping to cool your home or outdoor space. Raise the auto awning in winter to allow the sun to naturally warm your home or outdoor space.
 
Both strategies will help to reduce your home cooling or heating needs, resulting in savings on your energy bills.
 
Auto awnings are available in a diverse range of fabrics including canvas (see below), acrylic (a more heavy-duty fabric), mesh, block-out and sunscreen.
 
<h3>Canvas Awnings</h3>
 
<a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/outdoor-blinds-and-awnings/canvas-awnings">Canvas awnings</a> are popular auto awnings made from a durable polycotton canvas fabric that provides maximum sun protection as well as enabling good airflow.
 
This not only helps to regulate the temperature of your home (helping save you money on your energy bills) but also protects your indoor or outdoor furniture from fading due to harsh sun exposure.
 
<h3>Retractable Awnings</h3>
 
<a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/outdoor-blinds-and-awnings/retractable-awnings">Retractable awnings</a> (also known as folding arm awnings) are a great option for extending your outdoor living space by providing sun or rain cover.
 
They have a cantilever structure that is supported by a home, enabling the awning cover to be retracted completely to protect it from extreme wind and rain.

<h3>Pivot Arm Awnings</h3>
 
<a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/outdoor-blinds-and-awnings/pivot-arm-awnings">Pivot Arm awnings</a> are heavy-duty awnings for larger windows (especially ones that open outwards) or doors. Their arms pivot in an arc and can be adjusted either via a crank handle or a motor as the sun moves throughout the day so that continuous shade can be provided.

<h3>Wireguide Awnings</h3>
 
<a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/outdoor-blinds-and-awnings/wireguide">Wireguide awnings</a> are like having exterior and very durable window blinds, and they can also be used for balcony and patio areas. They can be secured to the ground rather than to walls.
 
A wireguide awning is fully retractable via wire cables that guide the awning up and down. Like other types of window awnings, they can help to naturally cool or heat your home, resulting in cost savings on your energy bills.

<h2>Styling and Colour Inspiration</h2>
 
Our diverse range of outdoor awnings at ABC Blinds &amp; Awnings includes neutral colour tones, bold hues and striped patterns. The right awning style and colour depends on both the architectural design of your Perth home and your personal preferences. For example:
 
<ul>
<li>Minimalist homes: Neutral tones with streamlined retractable awnings are a great option. Neutral colours like beige, grey and white are great for complementing a minimalist home design.</li>
<li>Traditional homes: Classic canvas awnings with soft colours suit their look and feel. Soft colours include pastel pink, pale yellow, pastel green and lavender.</li>
<li>Coastal homes: Bright and airy tones complement their outdoor living areas. Popular bright and airy colours include sky blue, cloud white, gentle pinks and natural shades of green to create a coastal atmosphere of calmness and serenity.</li>
</ul>
 
<h2>Tips for Choosing the Perfect Awning</h2>
 
Follow these tips to choose the perfect awnings for your Perth home.
 
<ul>
<li>Evaluate the awning&rsquo;s compatibility with the overall design and style of your home. It should seamlessly complement the look of your home, not look out of place.</li>
<li>Consider your functional awning needs like providing privacy, shade, UV (sunlight) and rain protection. There may be different considerations and priorities for different parts of your home. For example, privacy considerations may be crucial for windows and doors, while weather protection may be most important for outdoor entertaining areas like decks, patios and balconies.</li>
<li>If you are choosing an outdoor awning for an entertaining area, then ensure that it will cater for the size of your space and its intended use. You may need to customise your awning&rsquo;s size to suit your specific needs.</li>
<li>Choose high-quality, durable awning materials to suit Perth&rsquo;s often harsh weather conditions. They will provide greater protection and last much longer.</li>
</ul>
 
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
 
Outdoor awnings can enhance and transform the exterior appeal of any home, as well as providing functional benefits like privacy, comfort and protection from the weather. The right outdoor awning for your Perth home depends on the architectural design of your home and your personal tastes. A diverse range of outdoor awning styles and colours are available to suit different exterior home designs, personal preferences and the Perth climate.

Customising Your Window Coverings: A Guide to Tailored Blinds and Curtains

<h2>Types of Light Filtering and Privacy Blinds</h2>

<h3>Tricoshade Blinds</h3>

How They Work: <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/tricoshade-blinds">Tricoshade blinds</a> have a pleated design 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 superior home insulation 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" />

Benefits:
<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>

Disadvantages:
<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>

Best For:
<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>

How They Work: <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/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.

Benefits:
<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>

Disadvantages:
<ul>
<li>Vision blinds do not have full blackout capacity.</li>
<li>They may not be suitable for rooms requiring complete privacy.</li>
</ul>

Best For:
<ul>
<li>Dining rooms.</li>
<li>Home offices.</li>
<li>Open-plan living spaces.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Double Roller Blinds</h3>

How They Work: <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/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.

<img src="/images/blog/media/aero-double-roller-blinds-in-the-living-room.jpg" alt="Double Roller Blinds" />
Each layer can be independently controlled using one chain, 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, or roll the blockout layer down to achieve complete darkness.

Benefits:
<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>

Disadvantages:
<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>

Best For:
<ul>
<li>Bedrooms (they can provide total blackout for better sleep).</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>

The right type of blind for your home depends on your needs and priorities:
<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>

<h2>Additional Considerations</h2>

Additional considerations beyond your most pressing needs and priorities include:
<ul>
<li>Customisation Options: Different types of blinds will have a different range of colour options and fabric types, and they may have a <a href="https://www.abcblinds.com.au/eve-motionblinds">motorised alternative</a> 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>

<h2>Conclusion</h2>

There are a range of light filtering and privacy blinds available to suit the needs of any home. The right type of blinds for your home 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.

Tricoshade blinds are best for bedrooms, living rooms and home offices, while vision blinds are suited to dining rooms, home offices and open-plan living spaces. Double roller blinds are a great option for bedrooms, media rooms and street-facing windows.

Light Filtering &amp; Privacy Blinds | ABC Blinds Perth

A Comprehensive Guide to Light Filtering and Privacy Blinds

But with great views come great challenges. Managing intense sunlight, privacy and indoor temperatures requires the right window covering solution. That's where custom blinds for large windows come in, offering the perfect balance of style, light control and ease of use. At ABC Blinds, we can help you find stylish and functional blind options to suit your home.
 
<h2>Top Blind Options for Large Windows</h2>
 
When it comes to covering big glass, not all blinds are created equal. Here are the best blinds for big windows, designed to handle their scale and perform optimally:
 
<h3>Panel Blinds</h3>
 
For wide openings and sliding glass doors, <a href="/blinds/indoor-blinds/panel-blinds">panel blinds</a> are a great choice. They offer a sleek, modern look with large fabric panels that slide smoothly along a track. Perfect for a minimalist look, and great coverage and access to outdoor areas. Available in many colours and fabrics to match any interior design theme.
 
<h3>Vertical Blinds</h3>
 
A classic and timeless option for large windows, <a href="/blinds/indoor-blinds/vertical-blinds">vertical blinds</a> are still very popular, especially in living rooms and offices in Perth. Adjustable slats give you precise control over light and privacy, filter the harsh afternoon sun or open them up to let in the view. Available in blockout and light-filtering fabrics, vertical blinds can be customised to suit any room. Great as vertical blinds for sliding doors.
 
Take it a step further and control your big window coverings with the touch of a button or a simple voice command. Motorised blinds combine modern design with ultimate convenience, perfect for floor-to-ceiling windows or hard-to-reach spots. At ABC Blinds, our motorised options let you control multiple blinds at once with a remote or integrate them into your smart home system. For Apple HomeKit compatibility and app control, check out our Eve MotionBlinds range. This is the ultimate solution for large window light control.
 
<h3>Double Roller Blinds</h3>
 
For ultimate flexibility and energy efficiency, consider <a href="/blinds/indoor-blinds/roller-blinds/double-roller-blinds">double roller blinds</a>. This compact solution offers day and night control, with two independent layers: a light-filtering screen blind and a blockout blind. During the day you can have filtered light and privacy, while at night the blockout layer gives you total darkness and insulation. Custom-fit to your big windows, they provide a minimal yet powerful result.
 
<h2>Styling Tips for Large Windows</h2>
 
Window treatments on large windows are a feature that can make or break your home's style:
 
<ul>
 <li>Colour &amp; Contrast: Neutral shades will make a room feel brighter and more spacious, perfect for coastal or minimalist designs. Darker tones will add drama and sophistication.</li>
 <li>Layering for Softness: For a luxurious feel, especially in bedrooms or formal dining areas, layer your blinds with curtains. This adds softness, extra insulation and a finished look.</li>
 <li>Cohesive Design: Don't forget the details! Matching the hardware and headrails of your blinds with other fittings in the room will create a polished look.</li>
</ul>
 
<h2>Functionality &amp; Practical Considerations</h2>
 
Beyond the looks, blinds for large windows offer many practical benefits:
 
<ul>
 <li>Light Control &amp; Privacy: For bedrooms, home cinemas or any room that needs total darkness, blockout fabrics are a must.</li>
 <li>UV Protection: Western Australian sunlight can be intense. For east- or west-facing windows, choose UV-resistant materials to protect your furniture, flooring and artwork from fading.</li>
 <li>Ease of Use: Motorised options are a game-changer for high or hard-to-reach windows, common in modern builds or double-storey homes. No more struggling with chains or cords.</li>
 <li>Energy Efficiency: Custom-fit blinds, especially blockout or double roller blinds, can reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss. This means a constant indoor temperature and noticeable savings on your power bill. A big consideration with today's energy costs!</li>
</ul>
