During hot days, many rooms become largely unusable for critical parts of the day. Interior blockout blinds or sunscreen blinds can allow only a fraction of the sun’s heat to enter the room, increasing comfort and reducing air-conditioning costs.

The Smyth family had a large living room with windows outlooking to a pool area. Whilst allowing great views, this large expanse of glass was letting in sunlight, heat and glare.

Four upstairs bedrooms had no effective light blockout solutions. The rooms were becoming daylight bright in the early hours of the morning. As well as disrupting sleep, the rooms built up heat during the day and needed aircooling at night..
.
Mulders sunscreen blinds were installed over five windows in the living room to let in natural light but blockout the sun’s glare and UV. Once installed they dramatically cut down heat levels and glare. For the bedroom light problems, Mulders blockout blinds were installed. They gave complete room darkening, privacy and sun protection. Neutral shades were selected for both living spaces. Crisp white linen colour blinds were selected to match the living room's light and airey colouring. For the bedrooms a premium dark beige textured blind gave a luxurious feel.

Blinds of any design can help set the style and tone of a house as well as providing privacy and sun protection. Distinguished by their crisp, clean style, sunscreen or blackout blinds are soft, yet durable. Customers often find roller blinds a practical and affordable replacement for older curtains or Venetians.

A wide choice of fabrics in natural or bold colours is available. The blinds can be chain driven or motorized. All blinds are custom made on site in Mulders Melbourne factory to suit the windows' exact dimensions. Their installation team can fit blinds within a matter or weeks or blinds can be made to order for DIY fitting.
