1 and 2 Inch Blinds

1 and 2 Inch Blinds Control Light and Provide Privacy

Along with controlling the light allowed in a room, 1 and 2 inch horizontal blinds are effective at managing the temperature in your rooms too.  Horizontal 1 and 2 inch blinds are manufactured in several different designs and make use of a variety of materials.

Custom Matched to Your Wood Tones

If you’re going for a traditional look in your room, 2 inch wood horizontal blinds come in a variety of stains to match moldings, hardwood floors and other varnished woods.  Horizontal wood blinds can be re-stained as necessary though most stains are sealed to protect the finish from fading and condensation from window panes during cold weather.  Wood horizontal blinds effectively block light and make it easier to keep your rooms cool during warmer weather and warmer during the winter months.  Wood blinds can last for decades with very little maintenance.

Economical Options

Vinyl 1 inch horizontal blinds are another option.  While more economical versions are available in white or off-white, some manufacturers produce vinyl blinds in light blue and forest green.  Vinyl blinds are also available in decorator colors and prints through a special order.  Thinner 1 inch slats are often referred to as mini blinds or micro blinds.  Solid blinds are another type of vinyl blind that roll up rather than lift with a cord. 

Benefits of 1 and 2 Inch Vinyl Blinds

One of the benefits of vinyl blinds is the ability to use them with other window treatments to create a variety of looks.  In rooms that have west-facing windows, multiple sets of blinds may be called for.  With multiple sets of blinds mounted on a single head rail, you have more flexibility adjusting the light.  Along with the blinds blackout privacy liners can darken a room and assist in providing privacy.
