Styles of blinds and shades
There
are many types of shade and blind offered by Hunter Douglas
Silhouette shades. Blinds come in two main categories:
horizontal and vertical. Additionally, they also come in
other styles, determined by the width of the slats. The
most popular widths are mini and Venetian. If you are looking
for slats that are smaller than mini blind slats, there
are micro blinds available as well. Another type of blind,
which is really more of a shade, is the honeycomb shade.
This shade looks like a blind, but is made of fabric. It
has a honeycomb shape to the “slats” that let
light filter through and add a degree of insulation. Blinds
are most often found in wood or vinyl, but it is also possible
to buy blinds made from aluminum.
Shades come in different varieties. Roller
shades are distinguished
by a round roller at the top that allows the shade to lift
by rolling around a special rod. Cellular shades come up
in stages. Roman shades are good examples of cellular-like
shades. Shades can be made from a variety of fabrics, as
well as vinyl. Shades are easy to customize, especially if
they are made from fabric. Different cuts are available,
and it is possible to add special embroidery to shades made
from fabric.
The trick is
to determine how much you are willing to pay for your window
treatments and then comparison shop. It is also a good idea
to wait for sales. Then you do not have to worry about paying
full price. However, if quality is not something you will
sacrifice for any price, a good choice for you can be Silhouette
shades.
