bepgof 20 Report post Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) I definitely agree with you blinds are so hard to clean, you have to wipe the blades 1 by 1 in order to clean it the right way. I'd prefer to use curtains. Can't see the difficulty in installing curtain with "thin wall", rail just need to mount at the "ceiling" of the protruding wall. Got half height & full height curtain. You can use "2 layer" curtain = 1 thinner, 1 thicker for different light conditions....... Blinds - difficult to wash, roller jam, blade tear (replacement problem comes)after some time with strong wind constantly, more mechanical problems.

a_patche 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2010 Use roller blinds, not venetian blinds. Easiest to maintain! i say go for roman blinds. in my home, i have all roman blinds except 1 curtain in the living room (sliding glass door leading to balcony). roman blinds have more character and they are easy to maintain. i just wipe with a cloth once a month, and wash once every year.

247blinds 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2010 Hi! Everyone wants to make their home a cozy and comfortable place. In order to do this using wood items is one of the choices that vast number of people go for nowadays. Due to the comfort factor people are extensively using wooden blinds for their windows. The curtains are losing out in the race as they have to be regularly changed and cleaned. In terms of wooden blinds it has to be said that they require least cleaning. Wooden blinds come in different materials such as plastic, wood, fabric or faux wood. In the wooden range braswood is the most popular. So i suggest you wooden blinds are the best replacement for curtains! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi a_patche, I am also interested in ROMAN BLINDS, recommended by friend, but they are not in SG nor JB, too far away from SG, so any contact you got yours from? How much they charged you?
