Quality Heartwood blinds should last five to ten years, depending on the material of the blind. You may notice some fading on certain blind fabrics over time, but the majority of ranges have a block out coating to battle this. Some high quality vertical and roller blinds have anti fade pigments to stop colour change.

Blinds that completely blackout the window will insulate your property. This will help to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Heartwood blinds help can help to reduce your energy bills.

Most blinds are easy to clean and just need a dust with a clean, soft cloth. All blinds, apart from real wood blinds can be washed over with water mixed with a cleaning liquid.
