Things to Consider when Choosing Blinds for a Caravan
Available in a wide selection of styles, colours and designs, caravan blinds really let you add your own flare into your caravan interior. But before you buy you should consider a few things.
Fitting
There is very little point in buying blinds for a caravan that just won’t fit. All caravan windows and doors are different shapes and sizes, so before you purchase your caravan blinds, you should make sure they are suitable.
All our blinds are bespoke and fully made to measure, so it’s important you are accurate with your measurements to ensure a perfect fit.
Privacy
Blinds are a great way to instantly provide and improve privacy within your caravan. If you’re staying within a caravan site nearby other residents, then you’ll want to ensure you have the utmost privacy.
Lighting
We love letting natural light flood in during the day, but you don’t want your caravan to get uncomfortably hot from the glaring sun. Installing blinds in your caravan allow you to have more control over the lighting. If you’re looking for a lazy morning, you can opt for a blackout blind or if you want to make the most of the light whilst maintaining privacy you could choose a voile fabric. If you want the best of both worlds, then a blind with rotating slats may be your best option!
Cold Weather
If you’re camping in your caravan in the cold winter months or even in the Autumn when it can be cooler, you’ll want your caravan to be as cosy as possible! If your windows are left unshaded, heat can escape very easily. With the addition of blinds, you can reduce heat loss and stay warm even when the temperature drops. Fitting your caravans with thermal blinds can reduce heat loss by as much as 40% and regulate the temperature no matter the weather!
Criminal Activity
We would love to believe that everyone in the world is pleasant and kind, but sadly sometimes that is not the case. Camp and Caravan sites are sometimes seen as easy targets for thieves and the last thing we want is for you to fall victim to an opportunist thief. Leaving items on display can often encourage break ins if you are not present at the time. Installing blinds in your caravan is one preventative step you can take to reduce the risk of a break in. Always make sure they are closed when you have left your caravan unattended!
