Do not be afraid of making combinations<\/h2>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

If you are making a choice between drapes and external blinds, simply combine them<\/strong>. <\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

You can combine all types of shading, but from the practical point of view <\/strong>we do not recommend combining internal and external blinds. External blinds make internal blinds lose sense and you thus waste money. If you want external blinds and internal shading at the same time, try drapes, net curtains or pleated roller blinds.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

When purchasing internal and external shading, also consider the design and choose the colours of the slats and the fabric so they match the appearance of the interior with the exterior.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

\u201cAlthough external blinds are outside, they should however follow the colour of the interior and internal shading, which serves as a decorative element. For this reason, when choosing the slats of the blinds and the drapery fabric you should opt for matching colour shades in order to match the shading,\u201d<\/em> recommends interior designer Petra Vl\u00e1\u010dil\u00edkov\u00e1.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

External blinds provide excellent shading<\/h2>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

External blinds are mainly a functional element that <\/strong>shades the household. By tilting the blind slats, it is possible to regulate the quantity of heat and light that you allow to enter the interior\u2009\u2014\u2009in summer, you can for instance prevent overheating of the room and lower the temperature in the house interior by up to 10 \u00b0C. On the other hand, internal shading fulfils only a design function.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

For example, the Z90<\/a> blinds when tilted tightly fit together and make the room almost absolutely dark. For this reason, these blinds are mainly suited for use in the bedroom or children\u2019s room.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

Similarly, you can use S90<\/strong> blinds, which are rigid, provide proper shading and thanks to their appearance also lend buildings a softer appearance. These blinds are an ideal choice if, for instance, you are outfitting your household in the hygge<\/a> style.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

Internal shading completes the interior<\/h2>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

The disadvantage of internal shading is that solar radiation stops in the interior, which subsequently heats up. Net curtains or drapes thus function rather as a design element<\/strong> which ensures privacy. Unlike external blinds, net curtains do not provide so much shade, but distribute the light in the interior and form a pleasant atmosphere. <\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
