Wood Blinds - A drop in price.
By Karen Hughes
Discount wood blinds are a really a stroke of good luck for the buyer. The prices are only 25% of what are normally charged. The discount wood blinds come in a variety of widths beginning at 2 and going to 1 inch. The finest hardwood and basswood are used. Express Basswood window blinds come in 5 colors, the American Hardwood is offered in 16 colors and the Designer Basswood has 15 colors. This alternative to more expensive high-grade wood is only $7 more than other unique forms of blinds.
The comparative prices of blinds for windows 24" x 36" are impressive:
2" Designer Basswood is $37
2" American Hardwood is $48
2" Express Basswood is $45
1" Designer Basswood is $48
˝ "Express Basswood is $57
Some other forms of blinds come in the form of Roman blinds. These are much wider between pleats. Sometimes they are 6-8" wide and they draw in at the top with one disappearing under the one above it. There are woven blinds made from woven Mylar, which provide a durable, economical and beautiful solution. In terms of light control, they are excellent providing total ultraviolet and visible light protection. These are vital in the control of damaging light. Such man made blinds are used in museums of rare art where light can cause irrevocable damage. Other uses for these blinds are in wards where those who suffer from severe burns are recovering. Light must be kept from the patients until they are at a more advanced recovery stage.
Other models of blinds, which are similar to discount wood blinds in cost, are those made of fiberglass and of plastic. These we have used for the last twelve years and would not have any other kind of window covering. There are several reasons why we have been satisfied with our Levolor blinds. They provide color but give us privacy and reduce the temperature in the summer. In the winter, they have kept our home appreciably warmer and have reduced fuel costs accordingly. They provide another security barrier across the windows, which is difficult to navigate if you are a burglar entering through a window. We received ours, over twelve, as a gift from my mother.
The next set of blinds we get will be discount wood blinds because they cost the same as other economical types of window blinds. The natural glow of wood will provide a new kind of beauty and aesthetic to our home. Meanwhile, they will continue providing us with physical security, needed insulation in our older home against extreme heat and cold, privacy and a darkened room in which to sleep in case we have the night shift again. Something else, I have always admired blinds. When I was stationed with the United States Army in West Germany, we lived on the German economy in a small town named Hauendorf. The house we rented had "Rouladen" or "Roulades", which were exterior roller blinds constructed of aluminum. I enjoyed the security they gave during the winter. Here we can afford the next best thing the beauty of natural discounted wood blinds.
