There aren’t many who would deny that horizontal wood blinds are a classic in the window coverings industry. They provide all the basics of standard window coverings. And they look absolutely fabulous in the home and/or office.

Horizontal wood blinds offer additional options in both aesthetics and function. Many consumers are unaware of the options or unaware of the benefits that they offer. The basic aesthetics of horizontal wood blinds can be adjusted by adding a Cornice Style Valance. The cornice style valance adds additional class to the design; a finishing touch that eliminates all visible valance clips.

The 5 inch valance option on horizontal wood blinds can also make a big difference. The standard valance measurement is 3 inches. The additional 2 inches is very noticeable and dresses up the look of the horizontal wood blinds considerably. n

Decorative tapes provide both aesthetic benefits and elevated function. The aesthetic benefit is that they block the view of the vertical cording that runs through the blinds vertically. The visual enhancement isn’t the only benefit, though. The decorative tapes also offer additional light blocking. They prevent light from leaking through the routing holes.

Routless ladders actually eliminate the route holes from the blind slats. Like the decorative tapes it also provides additional light blocking. Routless ladders mean that the lift cords run on the outside of the slats. Small notches on the edges keep them in place so that the blinds function just as easily.

Every additional option/feature has specific advantages and some have specific disadvantages. Awareness of both is a necessary part of the blinds purchase in order to ensure that the final product fulfills the needs of the buyer. Make sure to look into both prior to deciding upon any optional feature for a blinds product.
