Types of Blinds - Austrian Blinds
Austrian Blinds are like Roman, as they move up and down with cords and rings, but they have a gathered heading and use a vertical shirring which transforms the folds into soft scallops.
How to Make Blinds
Balloon and Cloud Blinds
It is raised and lowered by cords threaded through rings at the back. When raised these billow into scallops along the bottom edge of the blind, a balloon blind has inverted pleats at wide spacings from top to bottom and a cloud blind has a gathered heading.
Tailed blinds happen when the cords and rings are not installed to the side edges, therefore the bottom corners hang down below the scallops.
Cane Blinds
These are made from whole or split bamboo, they are good for use in conservatories, and they can roll or pleat up. They do not completely block the sunlight or vision.
Festoon Blinds
These are similar to an Austrian Blind but they have additional ruching, which means it keeps its gathered effect even when it is down. They have a narrow heading tape at the top and vertically which creates the gathers.
Honeycomb Blinds
The side view looks like a stack of honeycombs. It is a cellular insulating blind and has numerous brand names.
It is a very efficient blind with great insulating properties and when pulled up, takes up only a small amount of room and is not intrusive on the window. |
