Breathe Easy with Hillarys Blinds
ALLERGY BUSTING BLINDS FROM HILLARYS
Soft furnishings can be a haven for dust mites and in the same way that wooden floors are more effective than carpets at alleviating the problem, venetian, roller and vertical blinds or shutters, are all a good alternative to curtains at the window.
Sarah Quilliam head of product design says: "Our roller blind fabrics have a protective coating primarily to shield against household wear and tear caused by humidity and condensation. However, this coating also acts as the perfect barrier to stop dust mites burying into the fibres and ultimately producing the spores that can cause allergies.
A vertical blind is the modern alternative to a net curtain and is perfect for large windows where swathes of fabric can be a magnet for mites. Until fairly recently, verticals were viewed as rather utilitarian and 'officey' but they are incredibly versatile and we now offer a new striking mix and match range. This allows the customer to create their own bespoke blind, mixing plains with prints or any number of co-ordinating or contrasting colourways. Like roller fabric, the louvres are coated to ensure they hang correctly and again this makes them rather unattractive to dust mites.
"Venetian blinds control the light brilliantly and can easily be wiped clean to prevent dust gathering. And of course, the same applies to wooden shutters. Although more pricey than blinds they are regarded as the ultimate window dressing, both from a style and security point of view and as long as they're regularly cleaned and dusted, a safe haven from bugs and beasties!
