Day to night blinds

[Cookie79]

Hello

Has anyone got experience of having day to night blinds?

We are having various blinds fitted to various massive/or not massive but awkward windows in our house soon and these blinds keep coming up when I look for ideas.

Having crappy windows replaced this week then a company coming to go through ideas, measure up and quote etc. Found a nice local one that’s been there for 30 years apparently (new to area). House is 1960s bungalow and a bit non- standard design so nothing off the shelf will fit.

I guess I’m after good points, bad points, easy to clean? Annoying or awesome etc.

Thanks x

Love ours! We have the double blind ones, so during day we just have the privacy one down and then at night we put the opaque one down in front.

Prior to these ones we had the ones that are like a double layer and striped, but I found those a bit of a pain and they ended up getting a bit ripped and frayed and I didnt like the visibility or light as much.

These are like we have: www.blinds-2go.co.uk/roller-blinds/22637/double-roller-smoke.html

Following. I have someone quoting for them tomorrow!

The striped ones probably don't get ripped and frayed if you don't have a toddler, cat and a dog always trying to look out the window though! But I didn't like that you could never see out properly because of the way it works with the light and dark stripe bits, whereas the privacy blind with the double blind set-up give you perfect visibility during the day.

I was leaning towards the striped ones but those double ones are intriguing! These might be good for DD (teen) as we’ve just made the garden usable. This has revealed that unless DD closes her curtains she has very little privacy if the garden is in use. This could be a very good solution.

Hmmm food for thought for sure - thank you.
