Window Blinds: Roller, Zebra, Venetian, Blackout and Bamboo Types, Fabrics, Measuring, Fixing and Care
Window blinds control light, privacy and heat with a neat, space-saving look, and they suit modern homes, offices and small windows. The right type depends on the room, the amount of light you need to control and how much cleaning you want to do. This guide compares the main types, explains fabrics and light control, shows how to measure and fix and covers care. For prices, see window blinds price in Pakistan, and for the whole group, blinds in Pakistan.
Types of window blind
Each type suits a different use.

| Zebra | Adjustable day and night bands | Living rooms | Zebra blinds |
| Venetian | Adjustable slats | Offices, kitchens | Venetian blinds |

Fabrics and light control
Sheer fabrics filter light, light-filtering fabrics give privacy and soft light and blackout fabrics block it. Choose by room. Dark colours on the glass side absorb heat, and light or reflective backing cuts heat gain.
Inside or outside fit
An inside fit sits within the window recess for a neat look, while an outside fit sits on the wall or the frame and covers more of the window and blocks light gaps. Check that the recess is deep enough and square.
How to measure
Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom, and the height at both sides and the middle. For an inside fit, use the smallest width, and for an outside fit, add about 3 to 4 inches overlap on each side.
Fixing
Fix brackets into solid wall or frame with proper plugs, level them and check that the blind rolls straight. Chain controls should be fixed out of reach of children.
Window film and curtains
For glass doors and bathrooms, see glass paper window film. For layered looks, see blinds and curtains and curtains.
