Cord vs. Wand Tilt Control

What the Heck! Another decision? What difference does tilt control type make anyway?
Calm down and consider it for just a moment. The tilting devise for wood and faux wood blinds will be of a cord type or a wand type. The cord is often suggested, however wand tilting is by far the most popular. Wands are color coordinated to the blind slats in white and stained choices. Wands do eliminate the extra cords and can be seen as a more sleak addition over the cords. Wands are easy to reach and twist left or right for tilting the blind slats. Wands are the only tilting mechanism available on most 1" blinds. Wands are easily removable and the control itself can be replaced in a matter of seconds where as the cord tilter is also replaceble, but can take a bit longer due to the routing of the cords and the reinstallation of the cord tassels.

Cord tilting is still a great option. Cords are color coordinated as well and can balance out the blind left and right. The cord tilt like the wand can be positioned on the same side as the cord lift control or opposite in most sized applications.

Cord or wand, my advice is consider what is around the window. Will the position for the tilt control be better on the right or left side? Do you have any obsticle in the way of the window? Do you need to reach the tilting from a seated position? Is the blind being installed in stairwell or high area which makes reaching the controls difficult? High mounted blinds will need the cord control for both tilt and lift and can special ordered at an extra length to allow access.

Hope you had a wonderful Good Friday and enjoy the 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!
