This option can be custom made to fit any sized door or window. They are affordable and attractive giving a space a finished look. There are different styles to choose from that include Roman, mini, roller, vertical and Venetian.
Venetian blinds, also called horizontal blinds, have horizontal slats constructed with a cording mechanism to operate them. They move up and down to be raised or lowered to accommodate any lighting situation or they can be opened or closed for privacy. They are great for blocking light, whether it be natural or artificial. This style was first noticed in Venice in the 1790′s and since then they have become a popular fixture in homes around the world. They allow one to see out without pulling them up. They are made from wood, vinyl and metal slats in a choice of colors.
Vertical blinds are like Venetian except their slats are vertical as opposed to being horizontal. They cannot be pulled up and down but only opened or closed. They provide privacy and block light and are made from many different material such as fabric, vinyl and wood in many colors. They can be pulled open from side to side for a full open look or turned individually to allow light in or keep it out. A good application for this type of blind is on French Doors or large expanses of window as well as casement style windows. For homes with low ceilings a vertical blind can add height and they allow for good air flow. They can be made to match the decor of any room and can look very elegant.
Roller blinds are usually made from wood and they work on a mechanism that rolls the material up and down as required. They work like shades and come with a retraction system in a single piece and decorated with hems to work with any decor. Some are meant to be sunscreens primarily, some can be made from translucent material to allow in filtered light and some are meant to darken rooms completely. They can protect a home’s carpet, drapes and furniture from fading. They are excellent on patios, in kitchens and offices.
Venetian blinds are a classic standard that have horizontal slats with a cording mechanism for operation. The can be pulled up or down and opened to allow in light or closed for privacy. They are excellent at blocking out light. In the 1790′s they were first seen in Venice and have since become a popular addition to many homes and offices and come in metal, wood or vinyl.
Horizontal or Venetian blinds are horizontal slats that have a cord for operation. They can be raised or lowered and opened or closed to allow in any amount of light one wishes. They are often used to block out light and were first seen in Venice in the 18th century. They are now popular the world over and come in a variety of materials to match any room such as metal, wood and vinyl and in a variety of colors.
