Cafe Blinds
Cafe Window Blinds – Overview
Cafe blinds are the perfect choice when it comes to privacy control, especially if you have windows or doors that face directly on to public places. The innovative design means that instead of pulling the blind down from the top, cafe blinds are operated from the bottom, allowing you to cover the lower half of the window without completely blocking out the light.
Combining all the benefits of traditional pleated blinds including Thomas Sandersons exclusive SolarTex® backing, designed to help control the heat entering and leaving your room, cafe blinds are truly a versatile shading solution.
