BLINDS GUIDE
Elevate your living and office spaces with beautiful new window blinds. Considered a “hard” window treatment, blinds work great when it comes to covering those holes in your wall known as windows. The beauty of blinds starts with the style, creative privacy, and ability to select the natural light coming into each room. Each slat allows you to add or take away as you like. Blinds are highly functional and look terrific.

VENETIAN BLINDS
Venetian blinds feature horizontal slats attached by strings and/or tape. They are made from a variety of different materials, such as aluminum, wood, or plastic, and they come in different slat sizes. Each slat is threaded through with cords and when the blinds are raised, they press upon each other for a compact look that opens and exposes your entire window. They are versatile and simple to operate, making them a popular choice for window treatments.
Great for any size window, these blinds are easy to maintain and allow for full light and privacy control. Terrific for any space you want to enhance with natural light, Venetian blinds are the way to go. Light flows into your office, kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms. You’ll even save energy by not turning the lights on nearly as often. When you desire privacy, close the blinds and the slats shut tightly. Stay cozy, peaceful, and as relaxed as you please.
Take care of your coverings properly and they’ll last for decades! Venetian blinds are exceptionally durable and you’ll find them still up in your home for years to come. They are trouble-free, relatively easy to clean, and their uniformed looks of elegance never get old.
MINI AND MICRO BLINDS
Similar to Venetian blinds, Mini blinds work the same way. However, the slats are about half the width of standard blinds or only about an inch deep. They are usually made from aluminum. Asa more lightweight treatment, they are favored for residential and business uses because their light weight can extend then over longer expanses of glass.
Don’t let the thinness fool you, mini blinds still offer maximum light and privacy control and are low maintenance. Decorating is a piece of cake as these treatments come in colors and styles that pair well with any theme and room design. With a clean finish, mini blinds are long-lived. Under normal usage they won’t crack, fade, or incur damage. However, if your kids are rambunctious or you have a furry family member who likes to paw at windows and doors, you might consider other options, as these blinds will bend and crimp.
There is a smaller version of Mini blinds called Micro blinds. Micro blinds are even thinner than Minis. They have slats about a half-inch deep, so roughly half the depth of Minis. The interesting thing is that thinner slats tend to close tighter so you’ll really be able to lock down privacy. These are an excellent choice for small windows that do not have much depth.
VERTICAL BLINDS
As the name suggests, Vertical blinds have long, tall slats that run up and down. They slide sideways on a track. They are best suited for broad windows and doorways to create a spacious, open feeling in rooms. When you need a little more light let in, rotate the slats 180 degrees to open or slide the slats off to the side and stack them together to expose an unobstructed view.
Vertical blinds are best for sliding doors and large bay windows as they enhance the dimension the area has to offer. They also work well on patio doors, large french doors, and overly large and unique windows. Here’s a good tip to keep in mind: the larger the window or door, the wider you want the slat width.
High heat, humidity, and direct sunlight are no problem for vertical blinds. Put them in your sunroom, patio, living room, or laundry room as they are tough and made for vast areas. Creating a very inviting ambiance and graceful natural light flow, these blinds are elegant, yet heavy-duty and come in a plethora of colors, patterns, fabrics, and styles.
PANEL TRACK BLINDS
Ideal for sliding doors, patio doors, closets doors, and very expansive windows, Panel Blinds feature a 5-channel track to slide open and close. With large, vertical slats, maximum light travels in when you need it. Both effective and stylish, these blinds are mounted to the wall or ceiling and come with a wand that operates the lead panel to control operation.
Panel track blinds allow flexibility. Slide them open when you want brightness or keep them closed for seclusion. Any space can be transformed with a sophisticated new look. Browse our wide selection of fabrics, colors, and designs. We tailor what you want and get them installed when you want them.
