A Mother's Day Surprise

Want to surprise mom on Mother's Day? Sure you do! Okay, have the kids take her to dinner or lunch and spend some time. Mean while you go over to her place and measure for new blinds or shades. Now, knowing mom might not have the exact same taste as you, we make a suggestion. Try a small window first. May I suggest the kitchen window over the sink. Try a faux wood blind because they will not warp due to the humidity and or steam. If the window is high enough you might even consider premium wood, woven wood or cellular shades. Measure and order online now so that the order should arrive very close to Mother's Day. Upon arrival, go over to mom's house and install the new window treatment for her. She will Love It! If, not actually what she had in mind then you can talk with her and decide on what is more favorable before ordering for the rest of the house. Either way new window coverings can be such a surprise for Mom. Often people put off these types of changes, because of the hassel of shopping and going store to store and the installation if they are older and not so inclined. New and brighter windows can make a world of difference to many mom's who have looked at the same thing for years, but figure they are still in good shape so why spend the money.

What ever you do, don't forget mom this year. Even just a phone call can make all the difference.

God Bless,

Cloth tape and string Ladders

Most people have no need to be familiar with the term string and or cloth tape ladder. This term has to do with the blinds integrity, what holds the whole item together and is responsible for the basic operation of the blind. Each blind wood or faux wood will have a number of vertical ladders. How many depends on the width of the blind. When ordering the most common string ladder (no cloth tape) the number really is not an issue because the string just sort of blinds in with the blind. When ordering cloth tape option the number of cloth tapes used can be an issue. Many folks give no thought and assume each blind will have two cloth tapes running vertical up and down the blind. Consider that it is possible the blind could have three cloth tapes and more. The reason is due to the number of tapes needed to hold the blind in place and make it functional. Again, most folks don't have issue with this, however some consider an odd number of cloth tapes odd looking because the tape is colored and noticeable. You can see how many string and or tape ladders your blind will have in the Factory specification segment of our website.

Just a consideration for any leaning toward cloth tape and even the more trendy string ladder. Please view all the information in factory specs. We can answer questions for you, but you have to ask them. Be aware, be informed, be happy.

Have a fun filled weekend, God Bless You.
