Blinds is a term often loosely used to describe various types of window coverings. Products such as Shutters, roller blinds, roman blinds are often simply referred to as blinds. Blinds are a separate category of window covering that has different functionality and look than these products.

Blinds are available in many different functionalities, colors & materials. The typical blind can be made of wood, fabric, plastic, or metal and can fit the window in vertical or horizontal slats.

Blinds adjust to dim or increase the light coming through a window by rotating from an open to a closed position and allowing the slats to overlap.

Horizontal blinds use a “ladder” system to suspend the slats and allow the slats to be closed by rotating a drum. A lift cord is integrated which facilitates the blinds to be pulled fully up and vertically stacked – fully exposing the windows.

Vertical blinds typically use a wider slat and open by pulling the slats together into a stack on either one side or pulling the slats to either side of the window or door from the middle.

Vertical blinds allow the slats to be gradually rotated via a rotating shaft that is attached via a pulley system to the upper head rail housing of each slat.

Window blinds are traditionally operated manually but now window blinds can also be motorized for automation. Motorized blinds are operated via keypad, remote control or another computerized device. This can allow blinds to be easily operated in hard-to-reach places.
