The distinction between curtains and sunscreen roller blinds

Curtains and sunscreen roller blinds are two different kinds of window treatments.

Blinds are often a flat piece of cloth that slides vertically up and down to cover the window. They are typically made of vinyl or fabric.

Two of the most common window treatments are blinds and curtains. They both provide insulation and privacy for your home, but their installation methods vary.

Shades and curtains are sometimes mistaken for one another. Blinds are more frequently used in homes because they provide privacy and insulation.

They can be flat or standing, but they are frequently one-piece works of art that cover windows. When shades are fitted, the window frame is typically visible.

Curtains are often hanging from the top of the window edge and utilized for ornamental purposes. You can use vertical roller blinds to control light and provide privacy.

A rod is normally located at the top of the window, and curtains are often composed of fabric.

Although they can be utilized for privacy and light control, curtains often do not offer as much light control as blinds.

Once the curtains are manufactured, the size cannot be changed. Only the curtain belts that come with it can be used to tie it.

The amount of light that enters a room can be controlled with Venetian Roller Shades by rolling them up or even opening them in different ways.

Blinds will therefore function more efficiently in the heat.

Benefits of Aluminium Doors and Windows for Modern Home

When it comes to upgrading the aesthetics and functionality of a home, aluminium doors and windows have become a top choice for homeowners and architects alike. Their sleek design, durability, and versatility make them an ideal option for contemporary homes. Let’s explore the many advantages these modern fixtures bring to your living space.

1. Durability That Lasts a Lifetime

Aluminium is known for its exceptional strength and resistance to external elements like rust, corrosion, and weather damage. Unlike other materials, it doesn't warp or crack over time, making these doors and windows a long-lasting investment. Whether exposed to rain, sunlight, or wind, they maintain their quality and finish for years without needing constant repairs.

The thin frames allow for larger glass panels, bringing in more natural light while offering uninterrupted views. This sleek look not only enhances the visual appeal of your home but also adds a sense of openness and space.

When paired with double or triple glazing, they help insulate your home, keeping the indoor temperature regulated and reducing energy bills. Aluminium’s thermal performance can be enhanced with advanced manufacturing techniques, ensuring that your home stays cool in summer and warm during winter.

Aluminium doors and windows are the perfect solution for homeowners seeking hassle-free maintenance. Unlike wooden or steel frames, aluminium doesn’t require regular painting or treatment to maintain its look. A simple cleaning routine is enough to keep it looking fresh and new, saving you time and effort in the long run.

5. Versatility in Style

One of the key reasons why aluminium doors and windows are gaining popularity is their versatility in design. Whether you prefer sliding, bi-fold, or French doors, aluminium can be customised to fit any architectural style. Additionally, these doors and windows can be powder-coated in a wide range of colours, allowing you to choose a finish that complements your home’s overall design theme.

In addition to their aesthetic and energy-saving qualities, these doors and windows offer superior security. Aluminium’s strength makes it difficult to break or tamper with, providing better protection for your home. Coupled with advanced locking systems, these fixtures ensure the safety of your family and belongings.

Conclusion

For those looking to elevate the appearance and efficiency of their homes, aluminium doors and windows offer an unbeatable combination of durability, style, and functionality.

Because I'm feeling whimsical,

What the fuck do you mean that's a quilt??? Round 2

All quilts are contest winners from the quilt show Road to California, 2022. You can see these quilts and the other winners from that year here.

Best of Show Quilt

Title: Harlequinade Maker: Rebecca Prior Quilter: Jackie Brown Design Basis: Maker's Original Design "Harlequinade" is a theatrical quilt filled with visual clues guiding viewers to discover a hidden story. Inspired by Venetian Carnival masks and commedia del'arte characters, the quilt features the antics of Harlequin, the trickster, who has his own ideas about freedom and fun!

Director's Choice

Title: Welcome Home Maker: David Taylor Quilter: David Taylor Design Basis: Original image by Margo Clabo, used with permission I first saw this image from friend Margo Clabo more than a decade ago. It took years to convince her to let me adapt her photo into a quilt. The image it depicts is especially sentimental for her. The challenge for myself was to create a pieced pictorial background and recreate a traditionally pieced quilt by using my hand appliqué technique. The project size was overwhelming, but I'm thrilled with the finished quilt. So is Margo. Time to exhale.

Note: To be clear, that is not a photo with a quilt in it, that WHOLE THING is a quilt.

Best Machine Stationary Quilting

Title: Emerald labyrinth Maker: Kumiko Frydl Quilter: Kumiko Frydl Design Basis: Maker's Original Design As a starting point I used an image from the entrance to the EL Barkookeyeh Mosque in Cairo. Thinking of an elegant and intricate garden I added bursts of natural color and filled the area between the large elements of the design with finer ornament inspired by butterflies and plants. I set the circular image in a rectangular frame with a subdued complimentary design of rippled reflective pools.

1st Place: Animal

Title: Woodland Wilds Maker: Ann Horton Quilter: Ann Horton Design Basis: Maker's Original Design My morning hikes in the woodland hills of our northern California home inspired this quilt. The rabbits are always alert for danger. This machine appliqued, thread painted and embroidered view through a window is surrounded by wild flowers on hand dyed silk and again surrounded by other wild birds and animals. I love my wilds things in the woods!

1st Place: Human Image

Title: The Memories That Remain Maker: Lynn Czaban Quilter: Lynn Czaban Design Basis: Library of Congress Photos - LC-USF33-006183MI and LC-USF33-0061 I am fascinated by the human face and our ability to communicate without uttering a single word. The Portuguese word 'saudade' meaning a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for something or someone that one cares for and loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never be had again.

1st Place: Naturescape

Title: Desert In Spring Maker: Andrea Brokenshire Quilter: Andrea Brokenshire Design Basis: Maker's Original Design My Mom and I embarked on an epic travel trip we named our "Thelma and Louise Adventure" In Palm Springs, CA we visited the Living Desert Botanical Garden. This quilt is inspired by one of the photographs I took that spring day of a Prickly Pear Cactus in full bloom. I loved the leathery texture of the cactus leaves (paddles) and the almost translucent citron yellow blossoms.

2nd Place: Animal

itle: Not Today Maker: Kestrel Michaud Quilter: Kestrel Michaud Design Basis: Maker's Original Design The chase is on! The Roadrunner is after his next meal, chasing a Common Collared Lizard through a steampunk junkyard. The desert is a favored dumping ground for the detritus of progress, even in a fantasy world. A steam-powered industrial revolution creates iron refuse and pieces of broken machinery have been left to decay in dry desert air. That doesn’t bother these critters. To them, this is home. Will that lizard wind up as dinner? Not today!

2nd Place: Human Image

Title: Declaration of Independence - Voices of Freedom Maker: Nancy Prince Quilter: Terri Taylor Design Basis: Reproduction of John Trumbull's Painting The quilt is a reproduction of John Trumbull's painting which depicts the moment in history when the first draft of the Declaration of Independence was presented to the Second Continental Congress on June 28, 1776. The quilt front and back were created in Photoshop and custom printed on fabric. Four thousand hours over 4 years was necessary to create the quilt. The back captures the story of the Declaration and its signers.

Note: I'm not at all patriotic. But credit where credit is due. That's a fucking quilt.

3rd Place: Animal

Title: Midnight Flight Maker: Joanne Baeth Quilter: Joanne Baeth Design Basis: Maker's Original Design Several years ago we had an injured Great Horned Owl roosting in our willow tree during the day. I took several pictures and was inspired to create him in fabric. The background features a painted sky, old buildings, melting snow and a rabbit on the run The foreground is the swooping owl which was constructed by painting and inking each feather and thread painting over fabrics and needle punched wool rovings

3rd Place: Naturescape

Title: Day Into Night Maker: Deb Deaton Quilter: Deb Deaton Design Basis: Maker's Original Design Inspired from photo by Robert Murray with his permission. When the Arizona sun begins to set, the sky comes alive. I saw this photo and knew the splendor of this landscape needed to be captured with fiber! Sky is hand painted. Raw edge applique. Mixed media used: oil pastels, color pencils, inks to enhance the fabrics and create more dimension. Cheesecloth: painted to create spikes of cactus. Tulle used to capture the sunrays. Machine quilted.
