There are several types of blinds available today. The main categories are:
Solid Blinds
Solid blinds are commonly known as tones because they can only raise or lower.
Slat Blinds
The most common variety is the blind of the SLAT. Lanza’s blinds are formed of horizontal metal or vinyl slats connected with strings in such a way that allows these ribs to turn and the light can pass. The slats turn up to 170 degrees to prevent light between or stop to completely discover the windows. The blinds can also be used in a horizontal direction. Vertical blinds consist of rigid, plastic, or metal cloth slats hanging from one end to the other end. The slats turn up to 90 degrees to allow the light to pass and can be folded to the side of the door to discover it completely. Vertical blinds are good because they can effectively control the amount of natural or exterior light that enters a room because the slats can also close well.
Venetian
Venetian blinds are blinds with horizontal slats, one of the slats on another. They are hanging through strips of clothes or with laces that can collect them together 180 degrees. They can be configured in 3 different ways:
- Overlap with one side inward
- Overcome with the other side inward
- Without overlapping at all in front of them
There are holes in each bar to pass the lifting cable of each bar. To open the blinds, these lifting cables are thrown and the bottom of the blinds moves up due to these slats stacked from each other as the blind rises. Venetian blinds are usually metal or plastic. The width of the slats varies from 16-120 mm commonly the width of SLAT is 50 mm.
