 Choosing the Right Window Blinds - Vertical Blinds, Mini-blinds, Wood Blinds, Faux-Wood Blinds from Menke - Serving the Abilene, TX Area
Blinds are the perfect window treatment option for people who want maximum control of their view out the window. These days, you have more window blind choices than ever before. When selecting your window blinds, focus on style and function based on the following window blind attributes:
Orientation – How do you want your window blinds to hang?
- Vertical slats run in the direction of your ceiling to your floor. These types of window blinds are great for large openings such as sliding glass doors. Their vertical position attracts less dust than other window blinds, and they’re easy to maintain. Vertical blinds are typically made of aluminum, vinyl or fabric with a variety of colors and textures.
- Horizontal slats run horizontally and are available in a variety of widths. Mini-blinds refer to the popular aluminum 1-inch width slats that work well for small openings. Micro-blinds use a 1/2-inch slat. Two-inch slats are also very popular, and 2 5/8 or 3-inch slats are often used to create a strong accent or more open feel in a room.
Material – What do want your window blinds to be made of?
- Aluminum slats are usually seen in mini-blinds, micro-blinds or vertical blinds. While easy to maintain and relatively light-weight, they can be less durable than other materials. Color choices abound with aluminum blinds.
- Wood blinds are premium window fashions. Available in a variety of stains or painted colors, wood blinds add beauty and elegance to any room.
- Faux wood blinds offer the fashion of wood blinds at a lower cost. Made of man-made material often combined with wood products, these window blinds have all the benefits of wood blinds but are resistant to humidity and damage from the sun. A large variety of texture and color choices are available to complement any décor.
Still not sure? With so many window blind options available, the choices can sometimes seem overwhelming. Don’t worry, you don’t have to go it alone. The qualified window treatment experts at Menke can help you narrow down the options to the ones that fit best with your design and function goals.
