Aluminum Blinds
Clean and Sleek
Aluminum blinds have the advantages of being both attractive and durable
window treatments.
Their sleek appearance makes aluminum blinds a favorite in offices and contemporary homes.
Because they come in a wide variety of styles, it is easy to find aluminum blinds that will look perfect in your home. They are available in a broad range of colors, from rich chocolate browns to fiery reds, and can coordinate with most design schemes.
Horizontal blinds,
with slats ranging from 1/2 inch to 2 inches wide, are often made of aluminum.
Vertical blinds
can also be made with aluminum, though this is option is not as common. Vertical aluminum blinds are ideal for sliding doors or large windows.
Their construction makes aluminum blinds strong and long lasting. Different gauges of aluminum are available, such as 6, 7 or 8 gauge, and the higher the number, the stronger the blind. Unlike fabric window treatments, aluminum blinds are simple to clean and don't stain easily.
A great benefit of blinds is that they can be adjusted to let in just the amount of light that you desire. For privacy and a darker room, the slats can be entirely closed or adjusted to let in a touch of sunlight. For more light, the slats can be opened further or the blind can be folded up, leaving the window unblocked. A large aluminum blind can be compressed into a stack only a few inches high.
When using aluminum blinds in kids' rooms, a few simple precautions can be taken for additional safety. Ask about cordless blinds, which are a good choice in children's rooms. Otherwise, shorten the cords to keep them out of the kids' reach. Also, make sure the paint on the aluminum blinds is certified lead-free before installing them in kids' rooms.
