The Benefits of Waterproof Blinds For Your Bathroom

When it comes to waterproof blinds for your bathroom, you may be imagining an easy-to-clean plastic that resembles a shower curtain. Well, our bespoke waterproof roller blinds for your bathroom are made from PVC and will go beautifully with your high-quality stylish shower curtain, I’m sure! If you want something more stylish, there are always waterproof shutter blinds. Perhaps your budget requires something cheaper? Faux wood Venetian blinds give you style and warmth and will keep you within budget.

We can sometimes neglect the more practical rooms of our home, but you can still have style and beauty in the most utilitarian of spaces, as well as other benefits, by having waterproof blinds for your bathroom.

Waterproof blinds for your bathroom are not to be confused with moisture-resistant blinds for your bathroom

Waterproof – the definition is in the word. A waterproof blind for your bathroom will have a barrier that prevents any water from getting through. You can throw water and soap at waterproof blinds all day long and they will withstand it. Did some lunatic design a bathroom with the shower right next to the window? How can we not recommend waterproof blinds for your bathroom?!

Moisture-resistant materials are also excellent, and still recommended for humid environments like bathrooms. They can withstand the effects of water, heat and humidity – just not as well as waterproof blinds can.

Waterproof blinds for your bathroom are easy to maintain 

Waterproof blinds don’t require any special care. Just keep them open so they can dry fully. Take care of your waterproof blinds and they will last well. They also won’t end up a health hazard due to mold. Yes, even waterproof blinds can develop mold, but they will greatly decrease the risk of it. You don’t need to be a slum landlord to have mold in your bathroom, it happens to us all. So cut down on your risk of allergies and lung infections and keep your bathroom mold-free with waterproof blinds.

Waterproof membranes will weaken with age, so even waterproof blinds won’t last forever. It’s water and dampness that cause this problem, along with the mold, so keep your bathroom well-ventilated.

Waterproof blinds for your bathroom are cost-effective

Faux wood Venetian blinds will bring style and elegance to your bathroom. Highly durable as well as waterproof, faux wood Venetian blinds come in shades of white, beige, grey and brown. These neutrals will match any decor you may have in your bathroom. And if you’re wondering why you should have faux wood instead of real wood, it’s because you don’t want your blinds to warp, stain or rot in your bathroom environment.

If money is no object, you can even have faux wood shutters, perhaps for that country cottage-style bathroom you yearn for. The Java range is waterproof and also shares the high durability of Venetian blinds. They won’t scratch and can withstand excitable children and pets – and on that note, they’re also safer for little ones (no cords to become entangled in) so they are ideal waterproof blinds for your bathroom.

Waterproof blinds for your bathroom will maintain your privacy

Of course waterproof blinds and moisture-resistant blinds will maintain your privacy. You haven’t been thinking frosted glass alone does the job, have you? From a distance, sure, but if you tend to stand pretty close to your frosted window … I once worked in an office where I happened to look up at the wrong time and across the way I found that if people stood very close to the frosted glass in the Men’s shower room, I was very aware they were there. Maybe it depends on the quality of the frosted glass. I’m just saying.

Or do you lounge in your Victorian bathtub, beneath the skylight in the attic you beautifully converted into your luxury master suite? Everything was fine, as you sipped some fizz, relaxing amongst the bubbles, enjoying the night sky above – and then you became paranoid about drones. Thankfully, Velux provides waterproof blinds for your bathroom too. You may miss out on the stars and the moon from your bathtub, but you can still enjoy the bubbles, in your glass and your tub, when you have the right waterproof blinds in your bathroom.
