There aren’t many who would deny that horizontal wood blinds are a classic in the window coverings industry. They provide all the basics of standard window coverings. And they look absolutely fabulous in the home and/or office.
When it comes to horizontal wood blinds additional features and options provide additional aesthetic and function benefits. For instance, the Cornice Style Valance. Adding the cornice style valance to horizontal wood blinds increases the elegance of the overall look of the horizontal wood blinds. Many see it as the perfect finishing touch; and it’s hard to deny that removing the visibility of the valance clips makes a drastic aesthetic difference.
The 5 inch valance option on horizontal wood blinds can also make a big difference. The standard valance measurement is 3 inches. The additional 2 inches is very noticeable and dresses up the look of the horizontal wood blinds considerably. n
Decorative tapes also provide aesthetic enhancements, but they simultaneously provide added function capabilities. The aesthetics are improved by the blocking of the vertical cording running through the blinds. The additional function capabilities are a result of the decorative tapes blocking the routing holes and preventing light leakage.
Routless ladders actually eliminate the route holes from the blind slats. Like the decorative tapes it also provides additional light blocking. Routless ladders mean that the lift cords run on the outside of the slats. Small notches on the edges keep them in place so that the blinds function just as easily.
Options and features offer advantages, and depending upon specific situations there are also instances in which certain aspects attached to features or options could actually be a disadvantage. Being aware of the different options and features ensures that potential window coverings buyers end up with the products that will fulfill their needs and suit their design tastes.
