The Benefits of Choosing Modern Aluminum Blinds
When you think of aluminum blinds, images of flimsy, thin mini blinds might come to mind first. Or maybe you think of outdated window treatment from decades ago. This is certainly not the case with modern aluminum blinds. Contemporary metal blinds offer a sleek, polished accent worthy of both adding flair and value to your home. Even interior designers love mixed media, like wood and metal combinations, because it creates a sense of depth and visual interest. At Blinds & Us Seneca, we love helping you discover amazing window treatments that not only get the job done but do so in style, which is why we’re taking the time to go over the many benefits of aluminum blinds.
Here are some of our favorite reasons to choose aluminum blinds!
Energy Savings
Did you know aluminum blinds are naturally one of the most energy efficient styles of blinds? Thanks to their naturally reflective style, aluminum blinds offer near blackout-quality light control without the added bulk of blackout curtains. Blinds like the Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds from Hunter Douglas, feature unique de-Light™ construction that eliminates cord holes that otherwise allow unnecessary light to seep into your space, doubling as both a way to ensure low glare and protection against excessive sunlight. Aluminum blinds help reduce the strain on your central heating and cooling, helping you maintain a consistent indoor temperature.
Enhanced Privacy
Our aluminum blinds boast up to twice the view-through compared to typical blinds with MagnaView®. Enjoy full and bright natural light without having to fully raise your blinds. Modern Precious Metals® won’t make your room feel closed off or small like some blinds.
Gorgeous Styles
Choose from an array of colors and finishes, from pearlescent to matte to metallic. The Modern Precious Metals® collection features beautiful colors like Stone, Brushed Nickel, and Antique Copper. You can also customize your slat sizes. Aluminum blinds are far from limited with so many ways to individualize them between rooms. It’s easy to create a unique appearance with the same style of aluminum blinds in each room.
Innovative Operation
Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds offer several sleek operating styles, including manual and motorized solutions. Gently guide your aluminum blinds into place with LiteRise®, which features cordless operation that’s safe for homes with pets and children. Modern Precious Metals® also boasts wireless control with PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas. Transform your aluminum blinds into smart technology that blends seamlessly into your existing smart home ecosystem. Control your motorized blinds from anywhere in your home with the convenient PowerView® smartphone app. Quickly set the mood with customizable Scenes that remember your favorite lighting positions every time so you don’t have to. You can even set your blinds to an automated schedule that operates in flux with your local sunrise and sunset times for a truly adaptive lighting experience.
