Say "NO" to Vertical Blinds.

Vertical Blinds - #Vertical blind is a complete outdated product.
In this blind Fabric is cut in to 4 inches stripes and then all the fabrics strips are hanged in a channel.The problem with this blind is whenever you switch on the fan the vertical strips cant handle the air pressure and they start moving, which creates lot of noise and you will feel irritation as these blinds just can't even handle the air pressure of fan. 

Looks : as far as looks are concerned, these blinds give a very cheap and untidy  look to a window. 

Clean  : It is not possible to clean these blinds.

Operating mechanism : Since the product is out of fashion so there is no new development in operating system.After some time the controlling system is definitely going to create troubles , either the chain will break or the system will hang.With somany cords hanging around ,it will create confusion , which cord is for which purpose.

It is always better to go for latest products as you can always get more variety , latest fabrics , better color combinations and the easy operating systems.

Other products for blinds are Zebra Blinds, triple Shade Blinds , Blackout Blinds , Wooden Blinds and Remote operated Blinds.

All these varieties are available at #JohnsonBlinds , Delhi,India.

Here's what to consider before you buy to keep from getting blindsided.
First Things First
  • Light and privacy : How much do you want and need? Decide whether you want your room bright and airy or more "buttoned up" and cozy. Is your goal to block out light for snug sleep in the bedroom or hang a sheer fabric in your kitchen that lets the sun shine in over your farmhouse sink? Are the windows you're covering near the front door or facing the sunny side of the house? All of these factors will influence the styles and fabrics you choose.
  • Your budget : Are you outfitting just one window or the entire house? You may consider spending more on certain windows and scaling back on others. Window treatments are priced by size, so expect larger treatments to cost more. Custom sizes and specialty fabrics, patterns, and features also add to the cost.
  • Your decorating style : Is it formal or casual? Bold colors can be fun or dramatic. Subtle hues are perfect for a room decorated in neutral, earthy colors. Do you prefer corded styles or sleeker, streamlined cordless ones?
  • Safety : Do you have small children in your house and a need for streamlined cordless blinds and shades?
We at # Johnson Blinds also offer # motorise blinds thus providing you comfort to operate them from any part of your room.

What qualities to check before buying wood blind ?

When you go for buying a wood blind you should know some technical points like :-

Which wood is used in wood Blinds ?

There are many woods available in market.

Best among them is BASSWOOD reason  this wood is light in weight and the most strongest.The lighter the weight of the wood the easy it is to operate,the heavier the weight of wood, more tough it will be to operate.

Woods like MDF , Faux Wood ,some other Artificial wood are also available in market ,they also come cheap but they are the worst woods.They are very heavy and spoils the internal operating mechanism of wood blind.They are only good if you want them for a look and not for operating them.

How to check that the wood you are buying is basswood ?

MDF          : is made of cardboard  and is  very heavy.
Faux wood : is made of kind of plastic and is also very heavy.
Basswood  : is actual wood, strong and light in weight.

Ask your vendor to show you small sample of all the woods he is offering. You can check the quality of wood by breaking  it. 

If the size of window is more than 15 sqft , (and the wood used is not Basswood ) the blind will be very heavy.

Best option is to operate the blind before buying.

Always opt for BASSWOOD Slats.


Operating Mechanism ?

Best operating mechanism is Single Cord super smooth operating Mechanism.This is the most latest and easy operating mechanism for wood Blinds.Both the operation of Tilting and Lifting is done with one cord.So no more fuss with cords hanging around.

This operating mechanism can handle single blind size up to 60 SQFT.

Headrail : 

Headrail is a Top channel in which all operating components are installed. Insist on Aluminium headrail reason this metal is rust free, if you will go for MS/Iron  section ,it may lead to rust and sooner or later it may spoil internal components.

Maintenance ?

Wood Blinds don't require much of maintenance as they can easily be cleaned with damp cloth.And the headrail should always be covered from top as it will avoid dust entering inside the mechanism and if it is sealed from all sides blind will remain trouble free for years.

Avaialablity :

These blinds are available in many color combinations at Johnson Blinds in India.

Should I go for motorizing my Blind or No ?

Motorising Window Blind  : Should I go for motorizing my Blind or No ? Many questions ?

Is motorization Expensive ?
Since the trend today is changing and now everybody want their everything to be controlled by remote ,So Why not the  Window Blinds?  

Concept for motorizing window blinds or curtains is increasing day by day and many companies all over the world  have jumped in to the production of high quality motors and remotes. Companies are trying to woo customers by offering better quality motors  at competitive prices. Major competition is among Somfy - France , Elero - Germany and Dooya - China  .Many other small companies are also in competition but these are the three most reliable. With lot of R & D, now all companies have introduced Super Silent Motors which means when you operate the blind you cannot hear sound of motor.

So ultimately the more competition among companies – the clients gets the better price.

Generally  for a normal size window of 12sqft to 22sqft a normal European motor will cost around US$135 to US$ 155 without remote and reliable Chinese motor somewhere around US$ 85 to US$ 110  and that too with remote , This cost is for motorization, cost of blind will be separate depending upon which fabric you select.

If I have more than 1 window in a room ,Do I have to buy separate remotes for all other windows ?
No ,no need to buy separate remotes .

Now Multi channel remotes are easily available. You can operate all blinds in a room with single remote. 

Maximum of 16 blinds can be operated with single remote.















Why should I choose motorization for my windows ?
These days most architects are opting for big sizes windows in rooms. Sometimes the window are of double height in that case it becomes really cumbersome to operate any blind manually,there it is most recommended to have motorization.

Motorisation is more a utility product than a fashion statement.

And ask your dealer how much warranty he is offering because if anytime after installation you have any trouble you can call your dealer.  Generally all companies offer warranty more than a year. Somfy comes with 5 year warranty.

Can I convert my existing blinds to motorise blinds?
Yes it is very easy to convert your any manually operated blind to motorization.

Are the motors Bulky and are visible ?
Motors are very very sleek and are hidden inside the roller tube. You cannot see motors.

My window size is huge , can I also opt for motorization?
Technician has to check the size of window , if it is really very big in that case you need to opt for heavy motors and if the size is still big you may have to put two or even more separate motors on a window but they can easily be operated together with single remote as mentioned earlier.

Does motors run on battery or with direct current.What about electricity bills ?
Motors generally consumes very less electricity. Only  5 Amp electicity point is required.

Where Can I get a reliable supplier in India ?
Johnson Blinds is one of the most recommended brand in India among Architects and Interior Designers for all kind of products related to blinds and motorization. Their technical person provides right suggestion, best quality motors and most reasonable prices.
