subject: Why Vertical Blinds Are A Perfect Fit For Your Motorhome [print this page] For anyone who travels on the road in a motorhome, the need to conserve space is vital due to the minimal amount of room that is available in these road-worth vehicles. When decorating your motorhome's windows, it may also be necessary to install vertical blinds to maximize the amount of space available in windows. These manageable blinds are easy to install and easily drawn up to allow for light when necessary.
Vertical blinds are great because they can be custom fit to the windows in your motorhome. They come in a variety of sizes and styles that are sure to be a hit while protecting the inside from the damaging sun. In addition, there are blinds that can also help insulate your motorhome which will reduce your electric bill. These insulated blinds will keep your motorhome cooler and reduce the amount of ultraviolet light that enters. If internal temperatures are often warmer than you like, look for blinds that are approved by the United Kingdom Environment Agency to ensure that you are getting the ones that offer the most insulation.
These blinds come in multiple materials that include wood, faux wood, plastic, bamboo, vinyl, or canvas. These various material will easily suit the style of the motorhome and give interior decorators many options to work with. Colours are another option that will allow you to customize the motorhome and give it great visual appeal.
When deciding which vertical blinds are going to be installed, it will first be necessary to measure the size of the window. Take the horizontal measurement as well as the vertical size to ensure that you have the right dimensions when shopping and be sure to record these numbers on a piece of paper for easy reference. If the windows are not your standard size, it is still possible to install blinds by going to a custom shop that will cut the blinds to the exact specifications.
Installing these blinds requires very little equipment and will not take more than an hour per window. First, the outside mounting brackets will need to be attached to the perimeter of the window using screws. Next, the inside brackets are attached to the blinds and then put into place by sliding the blinds onto the outside brackets. The following step will require that you adjust the blinds to the desired length and use a fastener to prevent the blinds from overextending at the bottom. Depending on which brand of blinds you use, there will be different types of fasteners that will allow you to customize the length of the window treatment.
These blinds are sure to make a visual statement while allowing you to reduce the amount of space that is taken up by traditional curtains. Furthermore, the installation is an easy project that does not require much work and is easy for any weekend warrior to install.
