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.
