Window Blinds are set to feature in a Welsh tower block renovation project which will soon be taking place in the Pontnewynydd area, Roman Blinds users may be interested to hear.
A £1 million initiative will see devices such as wind turbines installed at the Fairview Court site, the Free Press Series reported.
However, the tower block's windows are also due to be addressed during the revamp process.
South-facing windows are expected to benefit from horizontal blinds, with double glazing also being added.
The scale of the makeover has been highlighted by Duncan Forbes, the chief executive of Bron Afon - a community housing organisation which is owned by Torfaen residents.
He is reported by the news provider as saying: "The scheme will leave virtually no part of the block untouched with work to raise the standard of internal communal areas, reduce noise and modernise the lifts."
According to the news provider, the building currently houses a total of 70 residents.
