Wide variety of blinds are available, that letting you to find a design that suits your bathroom perfectly. Choosing the right blinds for your bathroom requires some special considerations. There are two factors that you need to be concerned about when it comes to bathroom blinds, and they are privacy and their being water resistant.
Vinyl is the mostly used material for bathroom blinds. Since it is hard wearing, water resistant, easy to clean and in most cases vinyl blinds actually do look good. There are wide variety of vinyl bathroom blinds. You can install vinyl venetian blinds, roller blinds, shutters, and vertical blinds. But vinyl bathroom venetian blinds is a better choice among all. They look great; very clean and fresh. Bathroom blinds that are made from vinyl are easy to keep clean and they are also very easy to open and close. You can in fact have them partially opened but still limit visibility from outside by simply having the louvers pointing downwards. Light will enter the bathroom, but still you will have all the privacy you need.
Aluminum is another popular material for bathroom window blinds. Granted, aluminum does not rust however it can corrode. This is not a big issue, unless the blinds are damaged in some way. Aluminum is also very easy to clean and take care of and it is lightweight which is another advantage with bathroom window treatments. If you want to have a wood look in your bathroom, you can go for faux wood or composite wood blinds for bathroom windows rather than actual wood blinds. Even if treated, wood is not the right choice for humid situations. It tends to buckle and bend and will soon become ruined in a bathroom setting. Faux wood blinds do much better although they are heavy and a little unwieldy especially if you only have a fairly small bathroom window to cover. Bamboo bathroom window blinds also an alternative if you want a wood choice for bathrooms.
Roller blinds are a preferable choice for bathrooms. Again, they are usually fairly easy to open and close. One drawback with this blinds is that in order to provide total privacy they need to be fully closed which can then limit the amount of natural lighting coming into the bathroom. You also need to be careful while picking up the material for blinds, as plastics especially when rolled up tightly, as a blind is when it is opened up all the way, can become moist and slimy, which is not really that pleasant! They are cheap bathroom blinds, however which means that they can be replaced fairly easily without it costing a lot of money to do so.
Vertical bathroom blinds are a possibility, however you will need to choose fairly carefully as vertical blinds often have a space at the bottom which would give the chance for people to see into the bathroom if they so desired. Fabric or material blinds are not really that recommended.
