Horizontal Blinds

  • Horizontal blinds consist of slats that can be tilted to efficiently control light and provide protection from ultra violet rays.
  • Horizontal blinds are ideal for windows that are taller than they are wide and are raised and lowered. When the slats are open they can reduce the sun’s glare but not your view. 
  • Horizontal blinds are extremely popular and come in many different materials, colors and finishes. 
  • Horizontal blinds are offered in real hard wood, alternative-wood, sometimes called faux-wood, and aluminum.
  • For warmth, durability and versatility, real hard wood is the natural choice for almost any decor. Like fine furniture, wood blinds reflect a lasting level of quality and are available in a variety of paints, stains and finishes.
  • Horizontal blinds can be manufactured to fit almost any size and shape window.  This installation versatility, along with the color, finish and material options, allows these products to be suitable for almost any window in a home.  They offer optimum light control by tilting the horizontal slat and are available in many design options.We serve Torrance, Palos Verdes & Estates, Rolling Hills Estates, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo
  • Horizontal blinds can also be used with top treatments, or as under treatments in combination with draperies.
  • These products can be installed with an inside or outside mount depending on the window molding and sill construction.
  • Horizontal blinds can be used in almost any design scheme.  The type, finish and color of the blind make all the difference.
    • For example, a light colored wood blind can easily fit into a causal country or traditional setting, while a cool colored aluminum blind is perfect for a contemporary urban loft.  Dark, rich wood tones are a beautiful compliment for a home office.

Alternative Wood Blinds

  • Alternative wood blinds are made from engineered materials and come in many hues and finishes that can allow you to create a beautiful room while remaining budget conscious.

Aluminum Blinds

  • Aluminum blinds are a great choice, simply because they offer so many options, including color, texture, design, and most importantly, light control.
