Archive for the ‘Metal Blinds’ Category

Any blinds installed in a room add a crisp, neat and chic look to match the decor. Blinds are not only installed for beauty, but also for protection from the sun’s ultra violet rays, extreme weather conditions, security and privacy.

There are many types of blinds suited to each ones needs like wooden blinds, faux food blinds, vinyl or plastic blinds, fabric blinds and metal blinds.

Metal blinds are used in places where wooden or vinyl may not give the necessary protection required for a particular situation. For example, in the bathroom, wooden blinds cannot be used due to the high moisture content; plastic or wooden blinds cannot be used in a fire prone factory; or fabric blinds cannot be used in outdoor or exterior blinds. These are some basic criterion on choosing the right blinds for your area.

The advantages of Metal blinds are:

* They can be used to clean up the cluttered look of the curtains.
* They are hassle free and easy to clean.
* They come in attractive colours giving a metallic gleam to your decor.
* They can be used in interior or exterior window treatments.
* They give a sophisticated look at offices and workplace and are easy to maintain.
* You can get creative to create the look of your choice, especially in children’s room you can make it into a colourful blind by sticking decorative tape to each slat.
* No chance of stain or fading and are fire proof.
* They are useful in securing the place against thefts.
* They come in motorised or manual operation, either way is easy to manoeuvre.

We just added a new 1″ mini blind selection called “Best Buy Mini Blinds“. Pricing is more in line with some of our competitors. We still are keeping the old line because motorization and eight gauge aluminum slat material is available with that and not with this new mini blind. Best Buy Mini Blinds is a durable, six gauge aluminum slat with a lifetime warranty.
