Mini blinds are often known for their tangled strings, lack of quality and clutter at your windows, but you no longer have to put up with that. In fact you can choose the enclosed blinds. This style blind is built in to a frame where you will have a lever to open and close the blinds.
You will need to measure you window exactly. The enclosed blind is designed to be a frame so that you do not have the little brackets for the top of the window, but an actual frame. Think of an enclosed blind like a storm window. It has a frame that fits in the window. The lever on the frame lets you open and close the blind with ease. While it does work off of a string mechanism the strings are inside the frame and cannot get tangled. It is the same system as the mini blinds with the strings interlaced between slats. The slates on the enclosed blinds can be opened for minimum light or completely opened for more light.
Installation of the enclosed blinds is actually easier than the typical mini blind because of its frame. As one piece you can secure the enclosed blind right to the window with little fuss. The brackets hook into the frame of the window with ease. It is also a cleaner process because no drilling is required.
You can even use two separate enclosed blinds on the same window to offer you more darkness in a bedroom. This means you have the enclosed blinds on the upper and lower sashes on the windows. These blinds are also child proof. You don't have to worry about your child damaging or twisting the strings or pulling the blinds off the windows.
There are many choices when you are looking for enclosed blinds in regards to colors. Another great thing about enclosed blinds is that you have to custom design the blinds to fit your windows. This means you are sure to have the correct size blinds for all your windows rather than worrying about finding one for the odd ball window.
Enclosed window blinds offer you more protection from the heat and sun when you are trying to get some rest and save electricity. It is important to know that these types of blinds tend to be a little bit more expensive than your average mini blind, but the durability and style will last longer than any mini blind. The best way to obtain these blinds is to shop at a specialty blind store in your local area.
