Additional Window Blinds Comparison Chart Information

After I had put the web page with the window blinds comparison chart up on the web I showed the page to my wife, and she started to ask me all kinds of questions about the chart. So thanks to her wisdom I am adding this section which is an explanation of the different column headings.

 

  1. The first column is a list of the basic window blinds. There are more products than listed here, but the ones not listed would fall into one of these listings.
  2.  

     

  3. Light regulation: will the blind allow you to change the amount of light coming in through the blind? A roller shade in its down position allows no light in, so gets a *, an Aluminum blind allows you to adjust the amount of light. From all light to no light at all with a twist of the wrist, so it get a *****
  4.  

     

  5. Blackout light: Will the blind let you completely block out the light?
  6.  

     

  7. Price: Price ranges from * $4 vinyl blind to a **** $1000 shading product. Each have their own place. The $4 blind in a rental you know is going to get trashed. The $1000 shadings when you want good looks or just want to impress
  8.  

     

  9. Insulation: How well does the blind keep the heat and cold on the outside and the opposite on the inside?
  10.  

     

  11. Durability: Here the $4 vinyl blinds beats the $1000 shading because the vinyl blind is built to be tough and take it, the shading is built to be beautiful.
  12.  

     

  13. Cleanability: I don't think there is such a thing as a blind thats easy to clean, but the fauxwood rates the highest because all you need to do is put the blind in the closed position and attack it with your swifter.
  14.  

     

  15. Allows a clear view: Will the blind allow you to have some degree of privacy and still allow you to have a clear view of the outside? Horizontal and vertical blinds score the highest because you can adjust for privacy but still see out, where as blinds such as pleated shades allow one or the other-you can either see out (up) or see just the shade (down).
  16.  

     

  17. Color Choices: * means few choices, ***** means a whole bunch.
  18.  

     

  19. Easy to install: Thanks to some innovative brackets and design almost all blinds are easy to install today except the motorized blinds. For these you should hire a professional.
  20.  

     

  21. Motor available: Today you can get any blind motorized. There are companies that specialize in making any window treatment motorized.

 

I hope this explanation will help get the information you need from this window blinds comparison chart. As always my goal is to help you not make a lot of the same mistakes I have made.
