Horizontal Blinds Calgary
This term of horizontal blinds covers a wide range of products, mainly fabricated using metal or Wood louvers. Well suited for both residential and commercial applications, this product category typically offers a contemporary look at an affordable price.
Metal “Venetian” blinds are designed to provide adjustable levels of both privacy and light control and are available in a wide range of colors and metallic finishes. New innovations in the “Reveal” feature by Hunter Douglas, essentially allow for better visual to the exterior by doubling the space between louvers when tilted in the open position.
Fauxwood and Composite wood blinds give the rich look and feel of wood blinds at a more economical price and are better suited for south and west elevations as well as rooms where high humidity is a factor.
Wood blinds are the true premium and most popular of all horizontal blinds Calgary. There are more decorative choices today in this category including rich grains and stains, embossed and available in a variety of wood species.
Motorization is possible with these products using a Somfy motor or Hunter Douglas PowerRise® 3.0 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. We are horizontal blinds Calgary!
