As the most popular window treatment on the market, are roller blinds suitable for bathrooms? The answer is yes, if you choose the right one. See, standard roller blinds are made from the fabrics we mentioned above. This way, they can be layered for different benefits – such as blackout or thermal insulation. These roller blinds are suitable for bedrooms, living rooms and offices, but are prone to mould and damage in wetter rooms (including bathrooms and kitchens).
Bathrooms are notoriously humid environments. Whether it’s the bath water, the shower head or the steam released from the hot water, it creates a lot of moisture, making it difficult to find suitable fabrics. Traditional blinds are made from porous cotton or polyester, and when these fabrics are exposed to high levels of humidity, they become a breeding ground for mould and other organisms. Over time, this weakens the bond in the fabric, making it more susceptible to permanent damage. Not to mention, ingrained mould looks black and can detract from the appearance of your blinds.
Whilst you will need to choose a specific fabric for your blinds, this doesn’t mean you have to be limited in terms of style. Waterproof roller blinds are available in a number of different colours and patterns to suit a wide range of bathrooms.
We provide full installation instructions and videos with every order. This eliminates the need for additional labour, saving you time and money. To ensure safety, our roller shutters are equipped with an obstruction bounce feature.
