Should I Get Metal Blinds?
Are you considering metal blinds for your home but aren’t ready to take the leap? The material has a reputation for being robust but unsuited to upscale interior environments. The Andrew Norris & Associates team hopes to shift your perspective by sharing the beauty and benefits of these stylish window coverings.
Metal Blinds Are Attractive and Durable
Durability and aesthetic appeal are not always easy to combine, but the two mingle effortlessly within Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds. Their resistance to moisture damage, dust, dents, and fingerprints makes them outstanding for busy areas of your home, and their clean lines make them look right at home in more formal spaces. Metal blinds are easy to clean using a soft, dry cloth; we recommend wiping the slats weekly or as needed to remove surface debris. Optional decorative tapes in various colors and patterns are a great way to accent the surrounding décor.
Styling Metal Blinds for Windows
Metal blinds are a fantastic choice for industrial interiors. One-inch-wide slats with a dark matte finish blend seamlessly with exposed brick and metal pendant lighting. A brushed copper or nickel finish adds the perfect visual interest to rooms with minimalist design. Metal blinds also bring professional panache to home offices. Add depth and visual interest to a space by layering metal blinds under velvet drapes for a plush aesthetic or lightweight linen panels for a chic, airy vibe.
Use Metal Blinds Throughout Your Home
Metal blinds are a versatile choice for windows throughout your home. They’re available in several specialty shapes to accommodate bay windows, French doors, and sidelights, with cut-outs for cranks and handles. Three slat widths, including ½”, 1”, and 2”, allow you to dress windows of sizes.
Metal Window Blinds Are Easy to Use
Use the ergonomic wand to tilt the slats for precise light control, or upgrade to PowerView® Automation to enjoy adjusting the slats with an app, a handheld remote, or voice commands when you sync it with your smart home setup via the PowerView® Gateway. You can set schedules for your blinds to tilt at specific times of day and operate them while away from home.
Two manual lifting systems offer straightforward operation. The LiteRise® push/pull system raises and lowers the blinds when you push or pull on the bottom rail; they stay securely in place wherever you release the rail. The SimpleLift™ option features a button on a sleek, contoured rail. Press the button to move the blinds and release them when they are in the desired position.
