Blinds in Corlim: Custom Solutions for Goa Homes

For a home beside an industrial estate the roller blind is hard to beat, and Corlim is that kind of place. One flat sheet of fabric comes clean with a single pass of a cloth, where a venetian has to be done slat by slat and a curtain taken down and washed. Sunscreen rollers suit living rooms, cutting the inland glare while leaving the view; blackout rollers suit bedrooms, especially for anyone who sleeps by day after a night shift. Zebra blinds give the same easy cleaning with more control over privacy. For offices and units in the estate, vertical blinds or rollers stand up to daily use and are simple to replace singly.

• Staff housing and modest flats: chain-operated blackout rollers in bedrooms, fitted inside the recess to keep the room dark for daytime sleep.
• Offices in the industrial estate: vertical blinds on wide windows, or sunscreen rollers where computer screens need shading from glare.
• West-facing rooms in row houses: a zebra blind that shuts out heat and light together through the long, hot afternoon.
