Why Choose Curtains?

Make sure you’re buying curtains for the right reason. There are many good reasons to choose curtains over blinds.

The aesthetic appeal of curtains is undeniable. Whether sheer, dimout or blackout, you have the widest choice of fabric colours, styles, textures, and patterns. Combined with the wide array of heading styles available, you can create the perfect look and feel for your space.

Silent Gliss curtain tracks easily handle curved and bay windows. Unlike blinds, they can be bent to fit challenging shapes. Both curtains and blinds offer privacy, but curtains cover more area and allow quick adjustments.

Curtains are an eco-friendly choice. They help save energy by reducing the need for artificial cooling in summer and additional heating in winter, contributing to building sustainability.

Curtains improve room acoustics better than blinds by reducing noise reverberation and enhancing speech intelligibility. Many fabrics are now designed for their acoustic properties.

Curtains are a great way to shade large windows. A single pair of curtains is often a more cost-effective solution than multiple blinds.
