When offered a genuinely comprehensive range of truly customisable window dressings, such as that available at Blind Technique, it is only natural to compare your firm favourites on your short-list before deciding on the custom blinds which will suit you. Here we offer you our view on the roller blinds vs plantation shutters comparison debate with our top decision-making principles, to help you decide where you stand.

Perspective

Are you committed to purchasing a new custom blind for the short, medium or long-term for the room(s) of your choice and how will they be used within the home? It may be more cost effective to refresh a current home design scheme with a Roller Blind or you may wish to invest in an elegant focal point to complete a brand new design statement, so step forward Plantation Shutters, instead.

Purpose

Once your perspective is clear, consider the purpose of selecting either custom blind choice once you are happy you have compared all their contrasting functional and aesthetic strengths. Are you looking to ensure your little one gets the best possible night’s sleep in their new nursery of is it a top priority to achieve the highest levels of privacy within a home office? Align your purpose with your choice of Roller Blinds vs Plantation Shutters, respectively. Read our recent blog on the benefits of blinds, too, to help.

Perception

When thinking about Roller Blinds vs Plantation Shutters why not consult all your family members for their views? They too may experience the benefits of the custom blind choice you make on a daily basis. Will they be satisfied that they can operate, clean and maintain your chosen custom blind with ease, once fitted? Do they prefer the stylistic benefits of one over the other? When debating roller blinds vs plantation shutters will the custom blind you choose be in a room which they tend to use a lot of the time?

Practicality

Sometimes this consideration arises when we least expect it. You may need to purchase a quick fit solution if you are moving house or if you have an exceedingly small window to dress so a Roller Blind may be ideal. Alternatively, if you do not have any time pressures, you are welcome to book a surveying home appointment to receive Plantation Shutters which need a longer lead time (as they are made to survey) to ensure a bespoke fit before installation.

Price

Know that there is a significant price point difference to consider when thinking about roller blinds vs plantation shutters. Are you now in your forever home where you will feel happy to invest in Plantation Shutters which you can enjoy for years to come or are you still considering another move and so seek a custom blind which presents as a more functional and possibly more affordable; for right now?
