Wood Blind Valance

Hey Ya'll

Just an update on why wood blinds are a focal point. Aside from the the wood grain and rich stain look, or even that they are lighter and easier operated than faux wood. A more recent developement makes them more appealing. The return of the hidden valance clip. Yes, once available with hidden clips of plastic which eventually resulted in an exposed plastic clip, the HIDDEN ATTACHMENT is back! This time with a magnetic attachment! Better than both the older systems. The magnetic system is easy to install and or remove for cleaning etc. New system available in all wood blind products. 1", 2" and 2 1/2". You will love the simplicity and sleeker look.


God Bless, Have a GREAT WEEK!

Window Treatment Privacy

This really wonderful woman Deborah from Florida, asked about the privacy issue with blinds. I began to explain that blinds can be tilted in an up position and down position. I'm thinking who does not know this? But, the reality is that we do need to keep in mind that depending on where the blind is located....top floor, ground floor...There is a great deal of difference. it is so easy to just close them and not give thought to who can see in. Again, in reality anyone wishing to see in will stand next to the blind look up and or down to gain visual into your living space. Routeless blinds will reduce this effect to some extent by eliminating the holes in each slat and therefore eliminating the ability to view through the hole (though it be a very small hole). Cloth tape will provide the same elimination, though not as popular as it once was. Cellular shades will eliminate all vision except for shadows and even that can be overcome with the purchase of the blackout cellular shade. Lastly, the woven wood. Choosen often for it's light filtering abilities and yet it too can be purchased with a blackout liner for privacy.

So...thank you soo much Deborah in Florida for your thoughts on privacy that we could share these important issues with our customers.

Hope this has been helpful. Golf, tennis even mowing the yard..what ever you do have a GREAT WEEKEND.

Rollease

Happy Labor Day!

Labor day as many know was supposedly the result of a strike of sorts in protest of the extreme long hours of the normal work day in America so many years ago. Well, I am glad our ancestors had the where for all to take a stand and make us the benefactors of a great day of vacation. While enjoying the familiy and friends and the great food and drink on this day, please take a minute and remember those before us who were not so fortunate to have these little vacations.

Ok, this week I'd like to discuss the rollease option. A greatly over looked little option available on many products. Many today are wanting a less cluttered look. You know, reduce the number of cords. Well, rollease can do just that very thing. Rollease will allow the consumer to have only one looped cord that will handle both lifting and tilting of the blind. What a great way to make for smoother more elegant look than to get rid of the extra cords. Folks, I tell you try one and I think you will agree, the simplicity is worth the extra cost.

Enjoy your Labor Day 2007 and take lots of pictures, family memories are the best!
