5 Benefits of Translucent Roller Blinds

Two windows in Auckland with sand-coloured translucent roller blindsYou've looked at all the different pictures and product information, but do you truly understand the benefits of the products you're considering.

At Total Look Blinds, we manufacture, supply and install many different types of blinds and shutters. Today, we'd like to highlight one of our exciting new products: Translucent Roller Blinds. Here are some of the benefits of this great and innovative product.

  1. They Allow for Filtered Light

Translucent roller blinds are not entirely see-through. Rather, they present a sort of opaque shade that allows light to filter through. As the fabric used for it is something between our sunscreen roller blind (which allows for much more visibility through the blinds) and our blockout roller blind (which allows no light or visibility to penetrate the fabric), you cannot see directly through the fabric.

This doesn't stop the right amount of light to come through and fill your room with natural sunlight.

  1. They Allow for Privacy

As we stated above, you cannot see directly through our translucent roller blinds. As such, you can rest assured that you will have the option of total privacy if the blinds are closed. This is the perfect accessory for your main living areas where you want enough sunlight but still want added privacy and don't want to require a day/night blind solution.

  1. They Offer Great Control and Ease of Operation

The translucent blind works by rolling the fabric around a tube, which is then turned by a sidewinder unit with an operating chain. This makes the ease of use very much pronounced. If you want it to be even easier, you can choose the motorised option. The motor, drawn from 240-volt power inside the roller tube, is operated easily via remote control.

  1. They Are Aesthetically Pleasing and Stylish

No matter which style of decor you have in your home, our translucent blinds will match and enhance your look. Not only can you choose from a range of colours for your blinds, but their simplicity is attractive in an open, modern and minimalist way.

  1. They Are Durable and Easy to Maintain

More so than their Venetian counterparts, translucent blinds are very durable. The strong steel tubes combine with high-quality fabrics and a great operating system to create a stunning piece of craftsmanship. These blinds will last a long time and they won't crumple and fade under pressure from UV rays.

Not only are they low maintenance, but they are also easy to clean. Simply run a wet cloth lightly over them to remove any excess dirt or dust.

First class service, products and support from Total Look Blinds. We have asked these guys to come three times as we add more blinds to our home. They look so good and work brilliantly. Really pleased!
Peter McLeod
I enquired about a blind repair. Response was quick and friendly and when I took the blind into the factory to get it fixed, it was done immediately, with a smile and finished within 10min. Very impressive and much appreciated

WYNN RIECHELMANN
Absolutely love our TotalBlinds shutters! They have transformed our bedroom. Service from measure up and quote was excellent and communication with the TotalBlinds team was a pleasure! They took half the time than was quoted by another supplier and although they were a bit cheaper, the shutters are very good quality. Plus they are NZ made! Highly recommend!
Parvaneh Karimi Fishani
We had double roller blinds installed in our new house. The price was much more reasonable compared to other shops, and their service was reasonably fast. The staff were friendly and helpful!

I can't say much about the quality of the material since the blinds haven't been installed for long, but we hope they will be as good as the service we received!
Ant MacLean
Had an old vertical blind that was manufactured by them, that was broken. Excellent cheery and quick repair service and great value too.

Support kiwi jobs stay local. If you buy something NZ made you can get spares.

Great service from start to finish. Terry measured up and gave us lots of different options. Brent was prompt and thorough. I absolutely love the colour choice we made and hubby is super excited about the remote controlled blinds. Very happy customers here.
Kambiz Radman
Could not be happier with my new sun screens and blinds, look awesome. The material seems nice and hopefully durable (I'll update you on that later).
"Terry" is a positive Rep who speaks clearly. He measured well but didn't explain some installation details, which confused me afterward. However, "Carolyn" came to the site and explained everything very well. Roger is a professional installer who did a quick and clean job. Thanks "Jo" for admin updates and following up. 101% recommended.
Heather
Excellant product. Very efficient service. Pleasure to do business with. Would recommend Total Look Blinds to everyone.
Erin Corkhill
From Terry's measurements, to Brent's installation it couldn't have been a friendlier or smoother process. The shutters are stunning and I get stopped on the street by neighbours who compliment us on them. Total Look Blinds is a decision you won't regret.
Trudi Stevenson
Total Look blinds were an outstanding company to work with. They installed both shutters and blinds in our home at competitive prices and using high quality materials. Timing and installation were faultless. We are thrilled with the service and the result.
Jim Richardson
Total blinds were Totally Professional. Excellent service from measurements to advice given through to the final fitting and the blinds look great! The price was also very reasonable and far better than competitor's. I totally recommended Total Blinds. Thanks! Jim
David Lim
Vertical and horizontal blinds completed on time. Reliable and great people to deal. Over the years, I have engaged the services of Total Look Blinds a few times and I have always been pleased with the results. I would do it again in the future with any hesitation. Highly recommended.

Bhavika n Divesh Kumar
We used Total Look Blinds in 2005 for our family home. After 19 years of wear and tear we needed some parts and couple of vertical blinds track needed fixing. Took a drive to Takanini and was greeted by the office lady Jo who was very helpful and was amazed when she pulled out our 19 years old invoice from their record. The team manage to fix the track within a day and got the parts i needed at a fair price. Highly recommend them if you want quality products and a fantastic after sales service. Great company to deal with 😊
Jayne Steele
Loving my new retro fit motorised blinds, thought would not be worth the $$ in spare room, WRONG do it once do it right , motorised other rooms, should have done it in the first place, no cords ease of use , fabulous
Antoinette Cooney
