Horizontal Blinds

This term of horizontal blinds (aka Venetian blinds) covers a wide range of products, mainly fabricated using metal or Wood / Fauxwood louvers. At one time a very popular product for residential applications, now given the current child safe legislation this product is best suited for commercial applications.

All horizontal blinds are designed to provide adjustable levels of both privacy and light control by rotating the louvers in either an upward or downward rotation. Metal blinds are available in a wide range of painted colors and metallic (pearlized) finishes and incorporate cordless child safe “Push / Pull” controls. Fauxwood OR composite wood blinds give the rich look and feel of wood blinds at a more economical price than real wood and are better suited for south and west elevations as well as rooms where high humidity is present.

Motorization is possible with these products using a Somfy tilt only motor or Hunter Douglas PowerView Technology. Motorization can be powered by battery, low or line voltage (110) as well as solar powered systems and can be controlled from wall switches or remotes, sun sensors and timers, touch panels, voice and smart phones. This can also be integrated with home automation or third party control systems.
