What are the choices for partition blind?

There are 5 window products recommended for partition blinds: curtains, vertical blinds, string curtains, custom printed curtains and roller blinds.

You can find these 5 partition blinds in the following to further understand them and choose the right one you need.  

1. Curtains／Sheer

The fabric of sheer is light and transparent, which increases the effect of elegant and romantic feel. The colors and patterns are diverse and available to choose depending on your needs for the space.

The decoration of the space thus becomes more interesting and lively. Moreover, curtain poles is also another good match for enhancing the overall aesthetics of curtains/blinds.

If it’s an urgent space renovation project with limited time frame, it is suggested to choose from ready-made curtains/sheer. It takes 1-5 working days to deliver after confirming the order.

However, if there’s ample time and money for a renovation project, Zosen Custom-made curtains/ sheer imported from Japan is a better choice. Make an appointment of MSBT field service and go through physical catalogues to choose. It takes 5 to 14 working days to produce after confirming customized details.

2. Vertical Blinds

There are two items in the category of vertical blinds：Hanas sheer vertical blind and Eilus walk-through vertical blind.

Vanes of Hanas sheer vertical blind are extended and connected via yarn and mesh and thus, it creates soft and romantic style.

Vanes of Eilus are separated individually. For easy access, just push aside the vanes and you can walk through it without pulling the whole blind to the right or left.

Both of these vertical blinds are light-filtering and privacy-keeping. Adjusting lighting and providing indoor privacy can be easily done by simply adjusting angles of vanes.  

3. String Curtain

String curtain is light, suitable for open space and requires low maintenance. We can easily see through the space but partition it off as well.

When the light penetrates through string curtain, light and shadow flicker along the strings. Romantic and beautiful atmosphere hence is born.

For creating layers in the space, string curtain with lights on produces rich variations of lights and shadow and the space thus presents multiple styles.

4. Custom-made printed curtain

You can provide images or patterns of your own choice and get them printed on the curtain. Whether it’s in a business area or a personal residence, it takes no effort to create a personal space with your own style.

There are 2 choices for custom-printed fabrics: canvas-like and blackout.

Canvas-like fabric is anti-splash, breathable, anti-mold and durable. The surface of blackout fabric is smooth and delicate so that the printed patterns and colors can be well-presented.

5. Roller Blind

The outlook of roller blind is simple and neat as well as not space-occupying. Dirt and dust mite can hardly accumulate on the blind surface, so the cleaning can be easy and fast.

It is suitable for multi-function room, for example: an open-space study room becomes a temporary guest room by lifting down a roller blind.

Furthermore, hydraulic spring system is also available for roller blinds. A simple pull can activate the lift-up. The system not only offers a quieter and smooth operation, the access also becomes easy.
