Blinds in Farmagudi: Custom Solutions for Every Window

In Farmagudi blinds are needed by the dozen as often as singly. Classrooms, offices and hostel rooms around the engineering college want something plain that survives daily use, and a chain-operated roller or a vertical blind does that. Plan around the plateau wind: with the window open, a blind hanging across it knocks against the frame all afternoon, so it should sit inside the recess and carry a heavy bottom rail. On the side that takes the monsoon rain, shut the window behind the blind when a storm is due. Brackets and chains are not at risk from rust here the way they are on the coast.

• Classrooms and offices: vertical blinds or sunscreen rollers, which cut glare on a board or screen without making the room dark.
• Hostel rooms and staff quarters: chain-operated blackout rollers, simple to replace one at a time and quick to wipe clean.
• Independent houses on the open plateau: roller blinds fitted within the window recess, with side guides where the opening faces the wind.
