Blinds are versatile window coverings. They are called blinds because they block or reduce sunlight penetration through windows. They are made with either vertical or horizontal slats that can be rotated for privacy control and maximum light tolerance.
Vertical blinds function similar to drapes that can be opened from the center and stack on both sides of the window or can draw from one side and stack as panels.
Horizontal blinds are drawn upward and are easier to conceal, if you desire, by a window topper treatment or a valance.
Shades are window coverings made of materials that can be permanently pleated, similar to pleated lampshades. These are drawn up and stack at the top of the window. Raising the shades can allow more light into the room and lowering them can allow more privacy. Shades can be stopped at different intervals, offering a neat and finished look for your windows.
