Waterproof Skylight Blinds

Alot of times bathrooms are stuck in the middle of the house and that is a great time to install a skylight window.  Due to the amount of moisture in a bathroom you should open this roof window regularly and also install a 100% waterproof roof blind to ensure your window stays free of mould and midlew.  Manufactured from the same soft pvc fabric that the waterproof blinds are made from, these stylish and pratical blinds will ensure light control and mould resistance.

If you’re looking for waterproof blinds for your home, you’re in the right place. Here at Lifestyle Blinds, we understand that the right window blind can’t just be stylish. It also needs to fit the room in question and solve any issues you may be having. Rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms and kitchens, are a challenge when it comes to traditional window blinds. Fluctuating temperature causes certain materials to flex and move excessively, impacting their strength and reducing your window blind’s lifespan. Mould and mildew are also rife in these humid-rich environments and both types of spores can cause irreversible damage to normal fabrics.

Our wide range of waterproof blinds enable you to stick to your chosen interior style without compromising on practicality. We offer several different material options, including 3 Ply Vinyl / 1 Ply Fibreglass and PVC to ensure your window blind can withstand any environment. Alongside this, we want to ensure you can still create a home that deserves to be shown off. This is why you’ll find an extensive range of colours and patterns online. So, no matter whether you’re a stark minimalist with a love for monochrome details or you’re a passionate maximalist who craves bold colours and detailed patterns, we’ve got you covered.

All of our window blinds are made-to-measure in the UK to fit your windows perfectly. We’re also passionate about suiting every budget. Your waterproof blind will come supplied with full and easy-to-follow fitting instructions so there’s no need to hire additional labour. Plus, we have a dedicated customer service team who are on hand to answer any questions or queries you may have about your blind. Simply drop us an email or give us a call - we're always here to help.

5 Reasons Why Waterproof Blinds Are Needed?

Do I really need waterproof blinds? This is a question we hear a lot from customers. After all, window dressings have become so commonplace in our homes, it’s easy to consider them surplus when it comes to styling your room. As long as they’re the right colour, that’s all that matters, right?

Actually no - that's not all that matters. Investing in a new window blind is just that - an investment. Of course, you want a window blind that makes each room look its best. But, you always want one that offers good light control, excellent privacy management and, in moisture-rich environments, provides the durability to last for many years to come. Traditional window blinds run a high risk of becoming damaged in bathrooms and kitchens due to the fluctuating temperatures and high humidity.

Here are five reasons why you’ll want to consider waterproof blinds in your home today:

1. They are made from waterproof materials (normally vinyl or PVC) which don’t allow water droplets to penetrate the surface.
2. With their wipe-clean and drip-dry surface, they are easy to maintain and won't add to your existing weekly cleaning chores.
3. By resisting water absorption, they also eliminate the risk of mould growth. This fungus thrives in warm and damp environments with little ventilation. It disperses spores very quickly and can cause irreversible damage to the fibres. Mould is also a health hazard which can aggravate breathing conditions and cause skin irritation. Waterproof blinds work to block its growth, helping you to maintain a cleaner and healthier household.
4. Privacy in your bathroom is key and the right waterproof blind makes it easier to create a relaxing haven you can sink into at the end of the day.
5. Our range of waterproof blinds are made-to-measure for the perfect fit and come with full fitting instructions to suit your budget - an overall perfect combination, we think!

Still have questions? Read on and let us help you find the right waterproof blind to suit your home today.

What material are waterproof blinds made from?

We get this question a lot - especially as an online store. Most of us have interacted with normal window blinds at some point in our life. So, we know what they feel like and have a general idea of the material they're made of. This allows us to choose the right accessories to pair with them and gives us the confidence to lean into the interior decor of our choice. However, waterproof blinds are slightly different. Because they are specifically designed to resist moisture damage, they use a specific range of materials to ensure longevity.

The type of material used depends largely on the type of window blind you’re looking at. For example, most of our 100% Waterproof Roller Blinds are made from a blend of 3 Ply Vinyl / 1 Ply Fibreglass. The fibreglass reduces stretching, shrinking or other movements in the fabric that could impact window coverage in the long run. It also heightens durability, preventing breakages and offering a flame-resistant solution. The vinyl and fibreglass composition also locks in your chosen colour to prevent fading and provides a moisture-resistant and wipe-clean solution that is perfect for bathrooms and kitchens. It is also an opaque material that darkens your room and provides excellent privacy - exactly what you’re looking for when showering or sinking into a relaxing bubble bath.

If you look at our Rigid PVC Vertical Blinds, you discover a different range of benefits. Each made-to-measure slat offers a resilient and durable solution that is naturally waterproof. Vertical blinds are ideal for longer windows and doors anyway, but the curved shape of these slats allows them to sit closer to each other when shut. This optimises light control and makes privacy a keen priority. Another benefit of rigid PVC vertical blinds is the lack of bottom weights or chains. This eliminates an extra surface for cleaning (and one that could become water-damaged over time) while also making them child-safe for busy family bathrooms.

Venetian Blinds are another waterproof blind option and one made from an entirely different material - aluminium. This naturally durable and lightweight material is ideal for use in bathrooms and kitchens. It can be wiped clean easily, dusted during your weekly clean and offers a durable solution to last many years. Many homeowners choose Venetian Blinds for their kitchens due to their ability to easily withstand fluctuating temperatures. They are also handy for windows near cookers and ovens as a simple wipe-down is all that’s needed to remove any oil or cooking spray.

Regardless of their materials, one thing that all our waterproof blinds have in common is their ability to add style and practicality to your home.

What is the difference between waterproof blinds and water-resistant blinds?

If you’ve been researching for a while, you may have heard the terms waterproof blinds and water-resistant blinds used interchangeably. And, you may be wondering - what’s the difference? In technical terms, a water-resistant fabric can resist a certain amount of water absorption - but not all of it. On average, a water-resistant fabric needs to withstand 1500mm or more of water during the Hydrostatic Head Test. In comparison, waterproof fabric is impermeable to water - no matter how long it spends submerged in water, it will not absorb any of the moisture.

Both types are suitable for bathrooms and kitchens. However, we always recommend opting for a 100% waterproof blind, if possible, as this gives you the best chance of avoiding mould and long-term damage. PVC, Fibreglass and Aluminium are all waterproof fabrics that easily withstand fluctuating temperatures and allow you to continue showering, bathing and cooking in peace.

Condensation on windows? Will waterproof blinds help?

Ever wake up in the morning to find your windows covered in water? Or constantly battling against mould? You may be wondering, will waterproof blinds stop condensation? Unfortunately, the answer is no - however they do more towards the management of moisture-related spores than normal window blinds will.

Condensation is caused by poor ventilation and lack of good air circulation in a room. It is more common during winter when the air inside the home is warmer than the air outside. This build-up of unwanted moisture partners with the water already found in your bathroom and kitchen air to create a real problem. When left, condensation causes dampness and increases the risk of mould. And, as we mentioned above, if mould is left to grow, it causes allergic reactions, asthma and skin irritations. In the long run, mould will permanently damage the fibres on normal window blinds, either producing irreversible stains or weaknesses.

To stop condensation, you need to improve air circulation. The best way to do this is to have your windows properly installed, leave windows cracked (where possible) and consider the use of a dehumidifier. In some cases, condensation can be increased due to your window blind positioning. A blind fitted too close to the window will create a pocket of air between the fabric and the window glass. When your room is warm, this air pocket becomes warm too - increasing contact with the cooler glass and causing condensation to grow. You want to encourage good airflow, so make sure to leave a 5cm / 10cm gap minimum.

However, waterproof blinds do make it easier to clean away excessive moisture before it causes mould. A simply wipe-clean is all you need to do to absorb water spray and to keep your home clean for longer too.

The best waterproof bathroom blinds

When looking for the right waterproof bathroom blind, you'll want to consider many factors, including:

• How big is your bathroom? If you have a compact bathroom, water spray is likely to reach more surfaces - including the window blinds. You’re also likely to have poorer air circulation which increases the risk of mould.
• What style bathing fixtures have you chosen? A walk-in shower or wet room, for example, is likely to cause higher humidity levels while a three-sided or corner shower will look some steam in. Or, perhaps you're only having a bath, in which case, you need to consider whether it will sit close to the windows with steam rising upwards.
• What ventilation do you have? Some smaller bathrooms have surface-mounted fans or extractor fans to draw excess moisture out. Others have to rely on the windows to clear the excess heat after they've washed.
• How easily do they need to be maintained? Some homeowners find solace in deep cleaning their household accessories for hours on end. Others barely have time to run a duster over surfaces. However much time you have to dedicate to cleaning will dictate your window blind choice too.
• Waterproof blinds for shower.  If you have a window in or next to your shower cubicle you without a doubt need a waterproof blind eg a waterproof shower roller blind or a vertical blind.

Now, let’s look at some of the best waterproof blinds for bathrooms.

1. Waterproof Roller Blinds For Bathrooms - A classic. One of the most common window blind styles on the market, our waterproof roller blinds use a 3 Ply Vinyl / 1 Ply Fibreglass blend. This makes them impermeable to moisture and ideal for the wettest of environments. They can be fitted either inside or outside of the recess (depending on the look you've gone for) and are easy to control with a simple pull cord. The roll of fabric comes in a wide range of colours and styles - these are the perfect blinds for intricate patterns as you can display them to their fullest. And, the non-interrupted roll is incredibly easy to clean. All you have to do is wipe them down with a microfiber cloth after every shower and dust them weekly. You can spot clean too, if needed, using a cleaning detergent designed for this material.
2. Venetian Blinds - Made from aluminium, Venetian Blinds are one of the lightest and most durable options on the market. They are also waterproof and have a wipe-clean surface. However, where they stand out are the multiple horizontal slats that give you accurate and precise control over privacy. Of course, you don't want people looking in as you shower off a day's worth of grime or relax with a much-needed face mask. But you also want to be able to manage light so you're not solely dependent on the overhead lights. Use the twist wand to adjust the slats in unison or draw them out of the way entirely, if needed. The downside of Venetian Blinds is the cleaning - you’ll need to clean each individual slat even though it will only take a quick dust and wipe.
3. Faux-Wood Blinds - If you’re drawn to traditional style, you’ll want to consider our faux-wood blinds. They are made from PVC and crafted to look exactly like real wood. The benefits - they won’t absorb moisture like natural wood does, reducing the risk of splitting and mould. Our range has a wide selection of grains to choose from, many of which are naturally textured too. You have everything from light woods through to rich Mahogany. And, with a similar style to Venetian Blinds, they also offer brilliant light and privacy control.

The best waterproof kitchen blinds

Much like bathrooms, kitchens are a room that can benefit from waterproof blinds. Most of the time spent here involves water, humidity or liquids of some description. If you have a big enough kitchen with good ventilation, it’s perfectly acceptable to install normal window blinds. However, you’ll need to keep on top of maintenance and cleaning as mould will continue to be a real possibility.

Consider the following questions when searching for a waterproof kitchen blind:

• How big is your kitchen? Some households are lucky enough to have large, open-space kitchens with large windows and bi-folding doors. These spaces are likely to offer good ventilation - especially if you can open up the doors/windows as you cook. Smaller spaces, in contrast, will likely be more challenged with ventilation and need a more durable window blind solution.
• Where is your window in comparison to your sink or cooker? Washing up water and cooking sprays - these will be two of the main hazards for your window blinds. Many homes have a window right above the sink. This helps to filter out moist air whilst providing you with a charming view to enjoy when you are washing up. However, it also puts your blinds at risk of excessive moisture exposure - increasing the risk of mould. Similarly, windows too close to cookers will likely become drenched in oil sprays and cooking juices that need to be removed quickly.
• How easy does maintenance need to be? You can choose any window blind for your kitchen. But some will need more maintenance to survive these challenging environments than others. If you want a solution that is low maintenance, choose a waterproof blind.

Now let’s look at some of the best options for waterproof blinds for kitchens.

1. 100% Waterproof Roller Blinds - Another accolade for the window blind classic. Waterproof roller blinds are ideal for kitchens. They have an impermeable surface that won't absorb moisture or steam. This wipe-clean surface makes it easy to remove oil sprays and food splashes instantly. And, the simple operation means you're able to pull the fabric up entirely to enjoy the view while giving you privacy when needed too. The fabric also eliminates the risk of cooking smells being absorbed in - a real hazard with normal fabrics.
2. 100% Waterproof Vertical Blinds - Many kitchens have larger windows or glass doors to allow as much light in as possible. The best waterproof option here has to be a Vertical Blind. With horizontal slats that are made-to-measure to fit your windows perfectly, they offer excellent light and privacy control. The wipe-clean surface can, again, be easily incorporated into your cleaning schedule. And, if you choose Rigid PVC Vertical Blinds, you also get a concave design that darkens the room significantly and does away with potentially harmful chains too.
3. Venetian Blinds - Again, these aluminium-crafted blinds are the perfect choice for kitchens. They won't warp or contort when exposed to higher temperatures and have an impermeable surface that makes them wipe clean. The only ailment here is the cleaning - you need to make sure you thoroughly clean all of the little nooks and crannies. This can be more time-consuming. To help, their lightweight design means it's easy to take these waterproof window blinds off and submerge them in water to clean more thoroughly too.
4. Faux-Wood Blinds - And, once again, traditional faux-wood blinds are perfect for kitchens too. The only thing you need to be aware of is choosing faux-wood blinds with tapes. While the slats themselves are waterproof, the tapes may not be. And these can be challenging to clean. Where possible, choose faux wood blinds without tapes or hang those with tapes on windows away from your cooker.

Are waterproof blinds easy to clean?

Yes! Waterproof blinds are incredibly easy to clean, which makes them one of the most practical choices for busy families. With traditional blinds, you need to be extra careful about the amount of pressure you place on the fabric to prevent broken fibres. You need to keep an eye on fading from sunlight and have to regularly monitor for mould growth.

Water resistant blinds are made from either PVC or a Vinyl/Fibreglass blend. Both of these materials are 100% waterproof - they do not allow any water to pass through the surface. This means that any water in the air will bead into droplets on the surface. Much of this drips down where it can be wiped off the floor or absorbed into a towel. Or, you can simply take a microfibre cloth at the end of your shower, bath or cooking session and give your blinds a quick wipe over. This will sufficiently prevent mould growth and wipe any daily dust from the blind’s surface.

When you want to do a more thorough clean of your waterproof blinds, there are a host of tailored cleaning detergents available on the market. There's no worry about getting these blinds too wet. Simply mix up your detergent, get a soft cloth and wipe throughout the blind. It may be easier to remove the waterproof blinds, wipe them clean and allow them to dry fully before fitting them back.

If you’re cleaning waterproof Venetian Blinds or Faux-Wood blinds, you need to get in between each slat. We recommend rotating the slats closed first and wiping a damp cloth over the surface. Then, open the blind up and wipe along each slat, making sure to get into the corners and around the corded frame. This will give you the most comprehensive clean.
