Window Blinds

One of the more popular types of window treatments, blinds are constructed of slats that rotate to let light in. You’ll find them crafted out of various materials, including wood, metal and fabric.

Common Blind Types

Blinds come in a variety of different types; the type that will work best for you depends on what your needs are for the room and your personal taste.

Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are perfect for covering tall windows, large expanses of glass and patio or sliding-glass doors. They come in a wide range of styles, from traditional-looking blinds to sheers and gliding panels, as well as materials, ranging from fabric and vinyl to aluminum.

Wood Blinds

A classic style, wood blinds add warmth to a room. They’re available in genuine hardwood as well as alternative wood.

Metal Blinds

Durable and versatile, metal blinds are perfect for a home’s high-traffic areas.

Blinds for Window and Doors

Many vertical blind styles are ideal for covering windows and doors; wood, alternative wood and metal horizontal blinds are an option for covering French doors.

Motorized Control

With smart motorization, you can conveniently control blinds with a remote, your mobile device, automatically (through schedules you set in an app), or even with your favorite voice assistant, such as Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant.

If you have horizontal blinds, you’ll be able to control the slat tilt with motorization. If you have vertical sheer panels you’ll be able to control the panel tilt as well as opening and closing. With panel-track blinds, you’ll be able to control opening and closing.

In addition to added convenience, motorized blinds help increase privacy and enhance security. You can schedule blinds to adjust whenever you want, including scheduling them to open and close or slats to tilt at set times, giving your home a lived-in look while you’re away.
