What blinds are best for my rental property?
Have you built or purchased a home with the intention to rent it out and aren’t sure what your options are when choosing the window coverings? The most common question asked by landlords is “What is the most cost effective and practical blind for my rental property?”
Understandably you would be looking for a product that is going to be long lasting, not easily broken and of course not going to break the bank! Our two most common products used in rental properties are Roller Blinds and Vertical Blinds.
Roller Blinds
Roller blinds are an excellent choice for rental properties due to several key reasons:
Affordability: Roller blinds are often more budget-friendly compared to other window treatment options such as curtains or custom-made blinds. This affordability makes them an attractive option for landlords looking to furnish rental properties without breaking the bank.
Versatility: Roller blinds come in a variety of styles, colors, and materials, allowing landlords to choose options that complement the aesthetic of their rental properties. Whether the property has a modern, minimalist, or traditional design, there are roller blind options to suit any decor scheme.
Durability: Roller blinds are known for their durability and longevity, especially when made from high-quality materials such as polyester or vinyl. This durability makes them well-suited for rental properties, where they may be subjected to frequent use and turnover of tenants.
Easy Maintenance: Roller blinds are relatively easy to clean and maintain, requiring only occasional dusting or wiping with a damp cloth. This low-maintenance aspect is beneficial for landlords who want to minimize the time and effort spent on property upkeep between tenants.
Vertical Blinds
Vertical Blinds are an excellent choice for rental properties due to several key reasons:
Cost-Effective: Vertical blinds are generally more affordable than other types of window treatments. They provide a stylish look without breaking the bank, making them a smart investment for rental properties.
Durability: Vertical blinds are made with a fabric that has an acrylic coating. They can withstand the wear and tear of multiple tenants and are less likely to get damaged compared to other window treatments.
Easy Maintenance: Cleaning vertical blinds is a breeze. They can be wiped down with a damp cloth or cleaned with a vacuum attachment, making them perfect for rental properties where you need low-maintenance solutions.
Light Control and Privacy: Vertical blinds offer excellent light control. Tenants can easily adjust the blinds to let in natural light or block it out completely. This flexibility also enhances privacy, a key concern for many renters.
Replacement and Repairs: If a single slat gets damaged, it can be easily replaced without needing to change the entire blind, saving time and money on repairs.
For Affordability, Maintenance and Durability Roller and Vertical Blinds are by far the best suited options for your Rental Properties.
