Windows blinds
Venetian blinds
This is the classic style. It consists of horizontal slats that when closed they block the sun light and when opened they allow it in. all the system is based on some cords and pulleys that control the blinds.
Mini-blinds
As the name suggests they are just the same as normal blinds just much smaller and suitable for small windows. Their slats can reach widths of even ½ inches. They are also available in many colors and designs. To make them more resistant they are normally fabricated from aluminum.
Vertical blinds
This type of blinds is very common for sliding glass doors or other tall glass structures because it covers them completely. They have two controlling system. One opens them horizontally and one vertically. If you don’t like pulling the cords, you can have them automatically controlled. The materials usually used are faux wood, fiberglass, aluminum or fabric. The problem with wooden vertical blinds is that they are too heavy and this can be a real problem. But you can still custom-order them.
