(Newswire.net — April 22, 2013) Tampa, Fl — The window treatment blinds that are installed today come without the strings in them which is what most people think of when hearing the term “blinds”. Additionally, there are also no holes in them which can totally block out light which before did not exist. Plantation shutters, alternatively come in 3 ½ inch to 4 ½ inch louvers, which can allow more visibility when opened which is an attractive feature.
As a result of this enhanced feature, blinds are now also including increased sizes such as 2 ½ to 3 ½ inch louvers. Aesthetically, they now provide a better look and more versatility in the functions that they provide. Light is one of those two edged swords that we want when we want it but block it when we don’t want it. It’s this aspect of window blinds that allow us to utilize it as we wish.
The composition of blinds of the past was aluminum slats where now they come in wood which are light in weight and sometimes can warp. With the 100% warranties offered by most good professional distributors, these are not as much of a problem however this may also explain why faux wood products for blinds are preferred over natural wood.
Color coordination is one good reason that wood blinds are chosen over faux wood blinds. When a client wants to match a stain color, the wood allows this color match to better adhere than a synthetic material.
Cleaning issues are always major considerations for homeowners as blinds of the past, especially aluminum, used to attract grease and dust. Now, the wooden slats of blinds can be removed, dusted, and cleaned or just dusted while in place.
Perhaps pricing of blinds can be acquired at more attractive price points than plantation shutters, but the two window treatment types are almost falling in line as hardly discernible in so many ways.
