Brief description
The general structure consists of horizontal slats, a bottom strip, a cornice, a connecting element and a control mechanism – a rope and a handle. The cornice has a special bracket with which you can adjust the angle of the slats.
The sizes of the slats may vary, but slats with a width of 2.5 cm are considered standard. The size of the blinds themselves is selected in accordance with the size of your windows.
To prevent fading, heat-resistant enamel of a certain shade is applied to the outer side of the lamellas. It has reflective and anti-corrosion properties. The front side of the blinds can be painted the same color as the outside or have a different shade. Many manufacturers apply a photo drawing or a complex decorative pattern to the front side, which makes them even brighter and more elegant.
How to wash horizontal aluminum blinds?
To avoid heavy contamination, it is recommended to periodically wipe the slats with paper napkins or a brush. Do not use a wet rag, as it will simply leave dirty streaks that will be difficult to clean later.
If the blinds have become very dirty, it is recommended to wash them with warm water with the addition of laundry soap or powder. Aluminum blinds should be washed with them open, moving from one edge of the slats to the other. During processing, try to be as careful as possible so as not to bend its individual elements.
