Air conditioning is arguably the most essential thing that people can’t live without in the summer these days. On the other hand, installing windproof roller blinds is an increasingly popular solution for windows and balconies. These innovative roller blinds feature not only shade and wind, but also provide effective privacy.

However, when the two meet, the question arises: are these draught-proof roller blinds effective at keeping air conditioning in place and retaining cool air in the space?

The first affirmative answer is that it can.

The most important components in a outdoor roller blind are the aluminium and the fabric. Simply put, the main functional characteristics of a zip blind depend on the choice of fabric. In the choice of fabric, it is divided into three areas: material, style and aperture rate:

First, in terms of material. Chembo’s V7 V8 roller blinds full series are used in glass fibre, unlike polyester fabrics commonly used in the market, glass fibre fabrics are more stable, flame retardant, not easy to shrink, longer service life, that is, the cost of the price will be a little more expensive.

Second, style. Commonly used colours are black, white, curry, beige, light grey and dark grey. This is different from person to person, there is also according to the use of the environment for the choice of use.

Third, in terms of aperture rate. The main functional characteristics of the roller blind, sunshade, windproof, privacy protection, etc., are related to this parameter. The smaller the aperture rate, the better the effect of sunshade and wind blocking, the higher the degree of privacy protection.

Keep in mind that draught-proof roller blinds are not designed to seal a space. Therefore, for zip screens used in air-conditioned environments, fabrics with fewer preferred openings are a better choice, greatly reducing the amount of cold air that escapes and keeping the space cooler, thus improving energy efficiency.
