Advantages Between Different Types Of Custom Blind Options
Like many things in life, blinds and window coverings simply don’t have a “one-size-fits-all” option, and it makes sense – people have vastly different sized and different shaped windows and live in different climates with different amounts of sunlight. It is factors like these that go into finding the ideal window covering solution for your home, and it’s also why your friendly blind team at Arjay’s Window Fashions in Southern California offers a host of custom blind solutions!

Thermal Blinds
A thermal blind is typically built differently from your normal window blinds, but the way that it is built is what provides advantages over other types of custom blind options. A thermal blind is generally made from layers of different materials that are pressed around a special type of film which reflects light or heat. As such, thermal blinds, as the name suggests, block sunlight as well as heat when needed.
Thermal blinds feature slats with an aluminum core for enhanced durability, where the outer layers are made with different types of materials. The most commonly used materials that are used for thermal blinds besides aluminum are usually things like vinyl, cloth, and wood, which all make great insulators. Thermal blinds are also known to help significantly lower your energy cost, which should be no surprise. While all blinds will help you reduce your energy costs, thermal blinds will probably reduce your bill more so than most other types of custom blind fixings.
Thermal blinds are also rather thick and insulating from not only intense sunlight but noise pollution as well. This makes thermal blinds a great option if you live in the city or near an airport, or really anywhere that creates a lot of noise pollution.
Bamboo Blinds
Bamboo blinds are quite stylish and very appealing to the eye. Not only that, but bamboo is very durable and usually able to withstand dynamic weather conditions. It is because of these reasons and more that furniture manufacturers and interior designers alike are incorporating more bamboo in their products. In essence, what was once a simple traditional art form and energizing force in Asian culture now adds elegant style to a room, as well as enhanced functionality and reliability.
As another plus, Bamboo is an ideal solution as a shade due to its eco-friendly properties. By harvesting bamboo instead of cutting trees for hardwood, you won’t be helping to diminish hardwood forests that have taken decades if not more to mature. Thus, you’ll be helping to preserve the habit of often-endangered wildlife species. With bamboo custom blinds and window coverings, you’ll easily add elements of style and functionality into your interior decor mix.
Faux Blinds
Arjay’s specializes in faux wood horizontal blinds. Faux wood blinds present a great custom blind option for your home, and they’re also a great value alternative to traditional wood blinds.
That’s right – not only are faux blinds less expensive as compared to traditional wood blinds, but they’re also quite durable and have a classy, timeless appeal to them. Available in a variety of colors and textures from Arjay’s, you’ll find that our faux blinds will match any decor in your home. With an elegant look at an affordable price, you can easily add beauty to any room in your home.
Faux Wood Horizontal Blinds
Combining the best of both worlds in the custom blinds industry, horizontal faux wood blinds provide privacy while letting you choose exactly how much light that you want to let into the room. Faux wood blinds can also be manufactured without the route-holes to offer an additional level of privacy to your home, especially if you live in an urban or heavily-populated area. By offering you protection from the harsh sun that can fade carpets and furnishings, horizontal faux wood blinds are one of the ultimate budget window fixing options on the market that we offer here at Arjay’s.
We also offer multiple control options for our faux wood blinds, like Cord Tilt, Wand Tilt and Routless Operation for optimal privacy and light control.
