Blinds are presented in two basic styles, horizontal and vertical. Horizontal styles are available with aluminum slats, wood slats or faux wood slats. These blinds are offered in various slat widths, in differing spacing between slats, with numerous head rail options, and in a vast range of colors.
Vertical blind styles offer almost as many options and colors as horizontal blinds and are available in numerous fabrics and in PVC vanes. Head rails are offered both with and without valances and with baton or cord draw traversing mechanisms.
Wood blinds offer the warmth of wood to any room décor. These blinds boast real wood slats in 1”, 1 ½”, 2” or 2 ½” widths that are either stained or painted. Head rail systems and valances are offered in a broad range of styles. Iris Window Coverings is pleased to partner with the leading manufacturers of these high quality blinds. We are also proud to have hand built the 3 ½” maple wood blinds for the Gap Headquarters building in San Francisco.
Composite wood blinds provide slats with a genuine wood grain appearance while faux wood blinds offer water-resistant, painted slats.
Horizontal aluminum blinds (mini-blinds) have become a standard in the window covering industry. These blinds are no longer limited to 1” aluminum slat material but are now available in numerous slat widths and slat spacing. Head rail options have also increased with head rails now offering integral valances and hidden installation brackets. Iris Window Coverings is a leading supplier of these blinds in the Seattle/Puget Sound area.
Vertical Blinds are an ideal solution for a window covering for sliding glass door and other wide applications. Since these blinds both traverse (and when open stack into a relatively small space) and rotate, they provide an ideal treatment for those areas where access through the opening is required. Vertical Blinds are no longer limited in color and style and can now be integrated into the most sophisticated of decorating styles.
