Blinds & Shades

As there are many different options for apartment patio privacy like zebra blinds, roller shades, cellular shades just to name a few. Decision making is not the easiest task here. If we consider privacy as our biggest factor however it reduces the choice we have to a few options. These are the Keego Blinds options for first floor apartment privacy.

Shutters

Shutters are well known to everyone. And even though they might not look like something protection you against outside views, they do quite a good job. Due to them being out of aluminum, which is naturally 100% blocking views. If you adjust the slates all vertically, no one from the outside can look through them whilst improving your apartment patio privacy drastically and making them a decent privacy blind option.

Blackout Roller Shades

Other privacy ideas for small apartments or other kinds of housing could be roller shades. These however are made out of fabric which can lead to some of them only filtering and not blocking light and by that also views. Blackout Roller shades however come with a coated outside which makes sure everything will be completely blocked. Keego Blinds customizes each privacy window shades 100% according to your needs, so we can be sure you get what you want. 

Cellular Shades Blackout

Cellular shades compared to roller shades are not much different. Window cellular shades do come in light filtering and light blocking options. Full blackout cellular shades are not only good for first floor apartment privacy protection but also quite good for insulating heat, which makes these privacy window blinds the “workhorse” or window treatments.

Curtains

Everything we said for fabric shades can be applied on curtains as well. Same as the privacy blind, a curtain does come in transparent options which is not suitable for privacy needs as well as thick blackout curtains that offer real good apartment patio privacy protection. They also come with a similar good insulation as honeycomb cellular shades.

Film

Last available and most unknown option are window films. This apartment privacy screen is basically a thin layer of protective film that can block views as well as UV rays. The thing to consider here is that the are pretty permanent in daily use. While blinds and curtains can be removed with a wish, film needs to be applied carefully and can not be removes as easy.
