 Blinds are “hard” window coverings,
have slats or vanes that tumble down
the blind as it is lowered or can be
pulled across a window to stack
lengthwise, to the side.
 These slats complete blind and are
usually controlled by a manual pull
cord.
 Closed tightly for privacy and for light
control, but they can be adjusted or
tilted at different angles to allow you to
control the amount of light needed.
 Wood, Faux-Wood, Woven Wood,
Mini Blinds and Vertical Blinds are the
most popular “blinds”.
 These materials exude a tactile feeling
of hard or bumpy; hence the name,
hard window treatments..
 Shades are “soft” window
treatments which are made of
materials on a continuous roll
to cover window opening
 . Shades are drawn up and
down by cords or rolled up
with a spring device. Shades
have no slats or vanes and
offer a smooth look to your
windows; hence, they are
called soft window treatments
as the fabric and feeling of the
shade is warm and flowing.
Although you cannot adjust for
light filtering, as with blinds,
you can choose different
levels of opacity for light
preferences.
