Roman Blind Window Coverings
The creation of Roman blind dates back centuries ago in the time where Romans are still walking barefooted. During that time, they were busy creating coliseums for their royalties. Due to the hot, dry and windy weather they were experiencing, dust from the materials they used for construction keeps floating in the air and tend to pile up inside their houses. What they did was that they hung damp clothes on their windows in order to catch the dusts. As time goes by, these damp clothes upgraded and now became the Roman blinds.
Roman Blinds are window covers that have horizontal pleats which are placed on top of the other as it is being pulled upward with the use of a looped chain on its side. The chain uses a clutch chain lift system that makes the blind rise and fall with ease. The number of pleats depends on the height of the window with this principle: The taller the window, the greater the number of pleats.
