How to purchase roller blinds
What information do I need to provide to the manufacturer? What kind of use, function and color card do I need to choose?
The purchase of roller blinds needs to be considered comprehensively according to the use scenario, material requirements, budget and other factors. The following is a detailed purchasing guide to help you complete the purchase efficiently:
1. Clarify the needs
Purpose
Indoor: shading, heat insulation, decoration (such as living room, bedroom, office).
Outdoor: anti-theft, wind and rainproof, sun protection (such as shops, garages, warehouses).
Special scenes: wind and rainproof roller blinds (balconies, sun rooms, pavilions), fireproof roller blinds (public places), UV-proof roller blinds (laboratories, hospitals).
Size
Measure the width and height of the installation location (it is recommended to reserve 1-3cm margin for installation in the frame, and 10-20cm margin for installation outside the frame).
Special-shaped windows (such as arcs and triangles) need to be customized.
Functional priority
Shading, privacy, breathability, sound insulation, energy saving, etc.
2. Choose the type of roller blinds
Type Features Applicable scenarios
Manual roller blinds Low price, manual operation (pull rope/spring). Small windows in the home, limited budget scenarios.
Electric roller blinds Remote control/intelligent control, labor-saving but high cost (EMLUX is the source manufacturer of motor R&D, production and manufacturing, which can solve the problem of high cost). Large windows, high-rise buildings, commercial places.
Windproof roller blinds Aluminum alloy material, strong wind resistance. Coastal areas, high-rise buildings.
Fireproof roller blinds Fire-resistant materials (such as steel), in line with fire protection standards. Shopping malls, garages, factories.
Sunlight roller blinds Translucent fabrics (such as fiberglass), adjust light without blocking the view. Offices, balconies.
3. Material selection
Fabrics
Polyester fiber: economical and durable, optional shading/semi-shading.
Fiberglass: mildew-proof and fire-resistant, suitable for humid environments.
PVC: waterproof and wear-resistant, mostly used outdoors.
Bamboo/linen: highly decorative, but less durable.
Tracks and accessories
Aluminum alloy tracks are more durable, while plastic tracks are low-cost but easy to age.
The electric roller shutter uses EMLUX's self-produced motor, which can be built with intelligent hardware modules and is compatible with GOOGLE ASSISTANT and AMAZON ALEXA.
IV. Price reference
Manual roller shutter: 7-28 USD/square meter (ordinary fabric).
Electric roller shutter: 42-112 yuan/square meter (including motor).
Windproof roller shutter: 33-52 yuan/square meter .
Additional costs: Installation fee is about 7-150 USD/set, and customization fee is calculated separately.
VI. Precautions
Measurement and installation
Interior (inside the window frame) must be accurate to millimeters, and exterior (covering the outside of the window) must consider windproof fixation.
Reserve power or battery solutions for electric roller shutters.
Ask the buyer for a product configuration list after the quotation (fabric parameters, coil parameters and accessories details to ensure that the money you spend is spent on clear materials)
Warranty and after-sales
Confirm the warranty period (usually 2-3 years for motors, 1 year for fabrics and accessories).
Keep the purchase receipt and ask for the installation instructions.
Environmental protection and safety
Choose odor-free and flame-retardant fabrics (especially for children's rooms).
