4 Types of Window Blinds

Are you planning to transform your space and thinking of getting window blinds for your window treatment? Read below to learn about 4 types of window blinds that might fit your home style.

Venetian Blinds – Venetian blinds are the most common types of window blinds on the market. They work well in any room and on virtually any window style. Venetian blinds offer a unique design with horizontal slats positioned on top of each other and held in place by string. The slats are generally made of plastic, wood, or even metal in some cases. The string cording holds the slats together, and when rotated, they move in a synchronized motion. The cording system allows the blinds to fully close, partially open, or fully open for complete light control. The cording system also allows the Venetian blinds to pull upwards, allowing the window to be fully exposed, and full light allowed inside the room. The common slat width for a Venetian blind is 1 inch, but they range in sizes up to 4 inches and above. Source: eBay

Vertical Blinds – also known as track blinds, these are made from vertical hanging slats attached together.  Vertical blinds are perfect for sliding doors and large windows. A wide range of materials and styles are used for slats such as the aluminum, faux wood, fabric, solar, cellular screen, stiffened plastic and more. If you are looking for energy efficiency, light control and wish to impart your home with a distinct look, then the vertical blinds are second to none. Source: Homedit

Wood Blinds – Wood blinds are some of the most attractive and effective window treatment options on the market. For starters, they create a natural, warm feeling in any room they are installed. Add to that their availability in a wide variety of styles, stains, colors, sizes and even materials, and its clear why they have become a favorite of homeowners and interior decorators alike. The benefits don’t stop with their good looks, however. These blinds are excellent insulators against heat and cold because of their solid wood construction. Finally, they are also incredibly lightweight, dramatically reducing the amount of daily wear and tear and extending the life of your blinds.

Roller Blinds – A roller blind is a rectangular swath of material attached to a wooden dowel or metal tube, and mounted between two brackets. A chain pulley system or a spring mechanism rolls the fabric up and down. Automated roller blinds are available, but automation seems to unnecessarily complicate things. That said, hanging cords and loops present a bona fide hazard in house’s with young kids. Source: Remodelista
