A roller blind is a window covering curtain, operated from bottom to top or vice versa. This curtain is unlike common curtains that you can slide to the left or right. This roller blind is operated manually but allows it to be opened and closed with a remote control system. This modern curtain can be placed on walls, windows, PVC, or any flat surface.

Based on its function, there are three types of roller blinds in the market:

Sunscreen: useful for minimizing exposure to sunlight in the room. However, people in the room can still freely look outside.

Blackout: to completely protect the room from sunlight. If the room lights are turned off during the day and these curtains are closed, the room will be completely dark.

Translucent: this type of curtain is not transparent and has various motifs. Its main function is to maintain the privacy of people or activities in the room.

Four types of roller blind operating systems are practical and fulfill the needs. Here are some of these types:

Chain: this type is operated by pulling or extending the chain so that the roller blind moves up and down.

Spring Flexy Stop: This is carried out by pulling the pendulum in the middle of the bottom of the curtain. This system is practical but must be operated carefully so the pendulum does not come off easily.

One Touch (Self Released): this modern curtain is also operated with a chain system. However, you only need to make a soft pull when you are going to close the window because the curtain will go down by itself.

Automatic: This curtain operating system is considered the most sophisticated among the others because it is equipped with a motor as a driver. You just press the buttons on the remote control to open, close, and determine other settings.
