Vinyl Mini Blinds
The Advantages of Vinyl Mini Blinds are Plentiful
By Mark J. Donovan

Need a little
privacy in your bathroom or kitchen and looking for blinds or
window treatments for the windows? Vinyl mini blinds are the
answer. Vinyl blind window treatments are ideal for high
humidity areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and even in
finished basements. They’re also perfect for seacoast or lake
front homes where high humidity is always an issue. Vinyl
blinds also help to keep energy costs down in the summer time.
They can help block ultraviolet like from entering the home.
Light color vinyl mini blinds do a better job of reflecting
sunlight and heat back outside the home.

Vinyl blinds are
also very inexpensive. Lightweight mini blinds are the least
expensive, however they are also the most fragile and
delicate. Consequently their cords and mechanical hardware can
easily break and the slats often have the tendency to sag over
time. Room darkening blinds are typically higher quality than
lightweight mini blinds, as they are constructed out of more
rugged slats that are spaced closer together.
Cleaning vinyl blinds is also a breeze. You can simply use a
damp cloth on them while they hang where they are to keep them
free of dust. Alternatively you can place them over a clothes
line outside and hose them down with a garden hose to rinse
them off.

Besides being easy to keep clean and highly durable, vinyl
mini blinds are available in a wide array of sizes and colors,
prints and fabrics. They can also be found in faux finishes,
such as wood. Wood faux finishes include oak, maple, pine,
cherry, and walnut, just to name a few. The wood colors look
so real it’s hard to tell the difference between the vinyl
faux finish blinds and real wood blinds.
Vinyl mini blinds are also available in slat sizes that range
from 1 to 3 inches. Due to their wide array of colors, prints,
and fabric options, vinyl mini blinds are also excellent for
decorating the interior of your home. Consequently make sure
to select vinyl blind features that best match the flooring
and wall colorings in your room or home. |
The only slight downside of vinyl mini blinds is that they are
a poor window treatment insulator. Duotone vinyl blinds,
however, can provide some level of insulation value. Duotone
vinyl blinds have a darker color on their back side and a
lighter color on their street viewing side.
