This window blind has all the requirements to make it invaluable in a commercial setting, whether a hotel, nursing home or office. It is fire retardant, has dim out properties and has sun reflective properties. These benefits can also be put to very good use in a home. For those light sleepers, your bedroom will remain in darkness until you are ready to let the morning in or a busy south facing kitchen where the heat from the sun rather than the kitchen is best sometimes to be kept at bay.
