The choice of window covers

« Back to blog

Selection of window covers
The offer of window covers is very extensive. It includes products that can only be installed indoors - internal covers or those that are placed only on the outside of the window - external covers. Each of these groups includes different models of covers.

The group of internal covers is more extensive. You can choose from: venetian blinds (aluminum, wooden), blinds (fabric, day / night, Roman), pleats, verticals and mosquito nets. In turn, the group of external covers includes: classic roller blinds and screen roller blinds, terrace awnings and covers for roof windows. The choice, however, is not as difficult as it may seem. The offer of internal covers has been composed in such a way as to suit various needs and tastes, as well as the styles in which the interiors are arranged. On the other hand, external covers are designed to match the building facade tastefully. All products are characterized by a very high quality of accessories and materials, and most importantly, in the Knall online store, they are all made to measure.

Selection of window covers - frequently asked questions
Choosing covers doesn't have to be difficult. Below is a short list of the issues that may arise most often when making a decision.

Functionality. The most important function of window covers is an effective interior protection against sunlight, and thus heating. All models are designed in such a way as to fully meet the expectations associated with it, regardless of the choice. Fabrics are available in a color palette, including darker ones, i.e. those providing deeper shade in the interior. In addition, for example, among the fabric roller blinds, there are gummed materials that provide 99% shading.
In terms of protection against heating, special attention should be paid to external covers, they will be the most effective here, and therefore it is worth considering their installation. The outer casing creates a barrier against the glass, preventing the rays from reaching it. It may be of particular importance in the attic rooms which heat up the most.
To make this easier, the Knall website (top) has a section on product breakdown by function.

Aesthetics. Here, the choice depends on the interior design, while the offer is well thought-out so that you can find products suitable for various projects; and those more classic and those more modern, minimalist. All types of internal covers can be placed in any of the rooms in the house, and the custom-made design makes them suitable for unusual dimensions, smaller and large glazing.
Wooden blinds can be an exception here; rather, it is advisable not to place them in the kitchen and bathroom due to moisture. If wooden blinds are to appear in these rooms, they should be very well ventilated.

Fit. This is the issue with the most concern. Unnecessarily. There is a special place on the Knall website devoted to how to properly measure each of the offered cover models. In addition, we have a Fit Guarantee - see the Information section for details.
Installation. Here, too, Knall took care of the needs of customers - on the website you can find assembly instructions for each type of guards.
