About Me

Window blinds have already been used since the ancient times. The people of Persia hung their clothes on their open windows to shield them from the desert dust and sand to make indoor temperature that is more bearable. The Chinese designed their bamboo slats to provide them a privacy screen. The people of Venice who once traded with the inhabitants of the Middle East and sold them Venetian Blinds which are actually a borrowed concepts from the Persians and brought the invention to Paris so this became their source of income by plenty of local merchants.

The blinds of the modern times resurfaced in the latter part of the 18th century, and the evolution of stronger and newer materials as well as production technology. Since then people have made them equally popular as their ancient cloth counterparts. The main function of window blinds is to offer a screen from external prying eyes, regulate the entrance of external light, and lock in the warmth. They still do today as well as it is in the past. If you need some information about blinds, you can do a simple search on the net.

To install blinds have become a part of the essential duties of a window and curtain installer. These become an essential household accessory not because the modern homeowner needs did not change yet but due to the improvements when it comes to technology and today's equally functional and decorative designs.

Blind come in different types. They are categorized as Venetian, Roman, vertical or louvre, panel, and roller. While everything seems to be interchangeable, they are designed so that each window blind is applied to certain window styles.

Roman Blinds are made of fabric so that they fold up when raised. A one-piece area of the material is mounted with slats on the back so the blind stacks and fold neatly into horizontal pleats when pulled up by a certain cord and chain.

Roller Blinds are made of solid piece of fabric or other material that easily rolls up by means of pre-loaded spring or chain.

Venetian Blinds are horizontal slats that are made without the fabric. Their slats are either made of wood, vinyl, or aluminum and stack neatly together when raised. Venetian blinds permit light to pass through when the slats are rotated to open top to bottom.

Vertical Blinds are known as louvre blinds. They are similar in principle to Venetian blinds except that the slats are hanging vertically, that is, top to bottom. While there are thin strips of slats for smaller windows, vertical blinds are good for sliding doors and bigger windows. Panel blinds work in the same way as vertical blinds. They have screen large openings or windows. The difference is that the panel blinds are pre-mounted on a certain track system that glides to the right or left. A piece of fabric or other materials that are built into the panel offer the screen. They function as temporary dividers for large spaces.
