Blinds

Blinds that control light and privacy

Glare on the screen, a neighbor who can see in and cords that tangle or hang within a child's reach are the everyday problems blinds are meant to solve. The wrong slat material, slat width or mounting style can also leave gaps, warp in humid rooms or collect dust faster than you can wipe it. Choosing well matters because blinds are used every day and are rarely cheap to replace.

The guides here help you compare wood, faux wood, aluminum and vertical styles, pick the right room for each, and understand how tilt and lift controls work. You will learn how to clean slats, straighten a bent one, replace a worn cord and choose cordless options for homes with children or pets. When a blind is very large, a window is out of reach, or a part of the headrail has failed, a window treatment professional can save you time and wasted materials.
