Pinoleum blinds or French Pinoleum Blinds offer excellent shading and are the blind of choice for conservatories. Pinoleum blinds may not have the reflective capabilities of roller blinds with reflective material on the back, but they are much more visually appealling. This type of blind is suited ideally to Victorian conservatories and in fact first appeared during the Victorian era.
French pinoleum blinds have wood weaved together to give an excellent balance of shading, reflection and an attractive natural look for conservatories. The light is diffused through the wooden weaving, which works particularly well in conservatories.
Many pinoleum blind suppliers will quote for made to measure pinoleum blinds which will give a classical finish to a conservatory. You should be aware that pinoleum blinds are made from natural materials so exact colour matches may not be possible.
Pinoleum blinds are usually in the style of roman blinds and can be used in any room in the house.
When looking for a window treatment for light rooms the choice is often between roller and pinoleum blinds. The distinctions are clear. Roller blinds are efficient, but suffer when compared to pinoleum blinds in terms of visual appeal. One thing to consider is that pinoleum blinds do not completely block light out, so therefore do not offer privacy at night when lights are on. Conversely roller blinds can offer complete blackout if desired.
