Hi, just wondering if anyone has these or has used these before, and also particularly in a kitchen or bathroom situation...or can advise if they would withstand slightly humid conditions?

Not sure on how they would go in humid areas but I assume they would be available in suitable fabrics.

But just wanted to know if they would stand up to bath/kitchen conditions. There doesn't seem to be much info available from suppliers on this. Re: Cellular blinds top down bottom up 4Mar 29, 2014 4:40 pm Hi trees, just saw this post as I'm doing a little research on window treatments myself. I have read that the cellulars don't handle moisture very well. I just found out about something called inflector blinds, it's silver on one side to reflect heat and black on other to insulate, but they're sheer. Not sure I'm describing it well and no idea on cost. Are you using low e glazing at all? Double glazing? Re: Cellular blinds top down bottom up 5Mar 29, 2014 6:39 pm Hi Ardie , No, the budget won't run to double glazing or similar, although the latest technology is becoming a bit cheaper than the traditional double glazed. I haven't heard of inflector blinds, since they are sheer, would you still need curtains for privacy? I priced the cellulars. The chord is a worry with small kids, unless you go for the automatic controls. For a whole house there's really not a lot of price difference between them and plantation shutters, (although a mid year price rise is coming up.) So I am getting plantation shutters ( my preference- ) to the whole house including bathrooms (these are poly resin so wont warp, or get moldy) with a blockout blind for the tv room. If you go with cellulars you don't need double glazing at all. Shutters, since they fit the window frame tightly, are actually quite good as insulators. On the scale they are given 3 stars for insulation. They add value to the home too. Building Standards; Getting It Right! These can be easily filled and repaired and it doesn't cost them much to do. Id get the builder to do this first and if the repair is not suitable then a replacement is… 12 31732 Thanks Ardo, they are sort of semi concealed. I think it is only a few millimetres. I see if they can adjust the hinges. 4 4220 |
