HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?

Heatwave after heatwave. That is what you may be experiencing if you live and work in the Cape.
Cut down on solar heat gain considerably by installing blinds in all your windows.
With electricity hikes expected, even those with aircon should not rely entirely on them for cooling.

An especially good method to keep your home interior cool is to keep higher up windows open while your blinds are down. This means most of the solar heat that passes through your window glass will be trapped between your window and the blind. This hot air rises to the top window where it is released to the outside.

NEW FOR 2011

The start of 2011 will see some surprises as well as the expected innovation from ALPLAS.
The next generation of Roman Blinds for the Summer 2011 season will include new customization options.
Blinds made to your unique spec. This means Roman blinds with ribbon banding, edge ribbon banding and velvet bottom rails.
Two tone fabric combinations as well as Voile Roman blinds which have a unique clearview system that requires no rods.
Experimental shapes will include Soft and Relaxed Roman Blinds and Low Profile Roman shades.
The big surprise will be in the controls, but more on that later..

Roller Blinds for 2011 also have some new additions to the range of options and customization.
The first is the option for welded bottom bar pockets where the bottom weight is hidden inside a specialy welded fabric pocket.
This technology also allows us to join two or more shades, colours or types of textile together in order to fully customize the shading or aesthetic properties of your roller blinds.

Exciting times ahead! We will keep you posted.

TOTAL BLACKOUT/BLOCKOUT FOR CINEMATIC CLARITY

Alplas Shutters & Louvres recently completed a high-profile installation at one of South Africa's Universities.
The intent was to create a Hive in which geological studies and surveys could be performed with the use of state of the art stereo 3D rear projection equipment.
This in effect meant that they were creating a hi-tech cinema with a 7.5 x 2.5m screen that shows true 3D images and animations.
Given the sensitivity of the information being displayed, a level of intellectual property rights and security was required.
Our electric total blockout blinds with side channels performed both tasks beautifully with the added ease of remote control.
Pictures to follow shortly..
