The anatomy of window blinds
When looking for stylish window treatments, a custom blind is the way to go. They are a profitable showcase that you can find in many colors to follow what is already present in your home. They are usually made of plastic although other materials can be used to make them. They are easy to install and even easier to use once you get them up. As a bonus, they are easily taken apart and can be reinstalled if you want to move. Whatever the case, it’s easy to find what you want once you know what to look for.
The first thing you should know about these types of windows is how they work. Flat pieces of collapsible molded plastic or natural wood are connected by a network of ropes. These cords are controlled by a long cord that pulls the rest of the cords up and down and can raise or lower the blinds. Blind slats rotate back and forth 180 degrees, usually by means of a rod attached to a hook at the top. These slats are all mounted (by the strings) to a solid piece of plastic on top that holds everything together.
These treatments come in many stylish colors and even various shades of white. You can buy them to match just about anything in your home, and size doesn’t matter if you opt for a bespoke design. With a size as small as eighteen inches, these window treatments can be placed anywhere in the house without much hassle. Installation is relatively easy or can be done by professionals. Most window blinds that you buy on the market come with everything you need, including brackets, screws, pre-assembled slats, and all the trimmings that come with them to make them work.
All you have to do is screw the bar into the wall above the window or window frame and you have a new window treatment. This installation is so simple that you can combine several sets of them to cover extra large windows, and if you want to take them apart and start over or if you move and just want to take them with you because you bought them, you can. Shades are that simple to buy, install and enjoy.
Before you buy your blinds, make sure you measure your window correctly. Remember that if you can’t find ones that are big enough, you can always buy two the same size and center them over your window so they are side by side. For oddly shaped or sized windows, professionals can install custom shutters as part of their sales service. This is by far a better option for many people. Why struggle to accurately measure and spend time installing window blinds when you can do it all for yourself? Whether you decide to install custom blinds yourself or call in the experts, you have a wide range of designs, styles and colors to choose from to ensure your windows look their best.
