An Argument for Blinds

Sure, at verticalblinds4you.com blinds is our business, but that’s because of their many advantages!

• Blinds can be tailored to your taste. They come in metal, wood and vinyl in a variety of colors and finishes and the ladders (the nylon lift cords that run along both edges of the blind) can be fancied up with decorative tapes. You can even coordinate or contrast the tapes to the blind or the room’s color scheme.

• Horizontal blinds provide light control – the more slats per foot, the less light will leak through the blind. While they are more difficult to clean, some newer products feature a factory-applied antistatic-electricity treatment that prevents dust build up.

• Although vertical blinds are most commonly seen on sliding glass doors, they also work well with tall casement windows, bow windows or fixed-glass windows. Vertical blinds can even accent arch-top and angular windows. Their strong lines will add drama and height to any room.

• While cords from blinds used to be a safety issue, the loop design can be eliminated with a single-cord control. Wand controls are also available, but the ultimate way to prevent the hazards of accidents caused by cords is a remote-controlled blind with an automatic stop feature.

• Blinds aren’t just for windows! Hang them from the ceiling to have them act as a room separator.
